It’s time to launch a new era in Africa
By Cyril Boynes, Jr.
Access to electricity changes everything. It puts people in charge of their future. It unleashes the human spirit, and people’s innovative and entrepreneurial instincts. It gives people one of the most important tools they need …
Diversity is Strength:
Whether or not “magical penis thieves” or “intestine-eating Satanists” exist, large swathes of sub-Saharan black society believe in their existence, and are willing to kill those accused of, or even rumored to have committed said crimes. And in the stories I’ve read about the falsely accused being beaten, maimed, and even murdered, no one ever expresses any regrets, after the fact.
Obama Versus The Lord’s Resistance Army!
Is anyone actually fooled by the seemingly small; number of troops Obama is committing to Africa… 100 troops… right? Not on your life! In my day it took nine support troops for every combat soldier you had on the ground not to mention the material to conduct operations and the supply lines, by way of ship and aircraft, to keep them supplied while in the field.
Power for the people
By Paul Driessen
To suggest that impoverished nations must worry more about CO2 than about tuberculosis, cholera or malaria is absurd. To tell them their energy options must be limited to expensive, unreliable, insufficient wind and solar power is immoral. To impose anti-hydrocarbon restrictions on poor countries ensures that they will remain poor and diseased, with life expectancies in the low forties.
End environmental experiments on Africans!
If Africans used DDT for indoor residual spraying, they will be using a chemical that America, Europe, India, South Africa, Ethiopia, Mozambique, Namibia, Swaziland, Zambia and Zimbabwe have all shown is effective in fighting malaria, and safe for people and the environment.
Crisis! New York style vs the real thing
Malaria infects over 300 million people annually. For weeks or months on end, it renders them unable to work, attend school or care for their families – and far more susceptible to death from tuberculosis, dysentery, HIV/AIDS, malnutrition and other diseases that still stalk their impoverished lands.
Bringing light, health and prosperity to Africa
By Roy Innis and Niger Innis
China and India are showing Africa the way forward. Those of us in already developed countries should support Africa’s aspirations – and help it address real health and environmental problems, by using affordable, dependable energy that truly is the lifeblood of modern societies, and the key to a better future for children everywhere.
Africa’s real climate crisis
Life in Africa is often nasty, impoverished and short. AIDS kills 2.2 million Africans every year, say WHO reports. Lung infections cause 1.4 million deaths, malaria 1 million more, intestinal diseases 700,000. Diseases that could be prevented with simple vaccines kill an additional 600,000 annually, while war, malnutrition and life in filthy slums send countless more parents and children to early graves.
And yet, day after day, Africans are told the biggest threat we face is – global warming.
