Equality is biologically impossible, and liberty is only obtainable in homogeneous populations very thinly spread.

They think it's a country because it looks as big as we do.
I think everybody knows that Africa is in a very deep crisis. There is economic misery and social deprivation and that Africa needs help but the question then is how. And also we have to make sure that we don't repeat old mistakes; this help is only short term.
