Visiting Black Continent

Visiting Black Continent....
Well, I suppose that all of you can read my mind about what I want to write in my new posting at this time...and yes it's true that at least I wanna tell you about Africa.

So many variation and opinion about the exclusive of African continent, and I also have something impression about this continent.

As long as I study in International relations department, African becomes my favorite concentration to study. Thats why I always take my research and determine my written in the vicinity of it. I like learn about human security in Africa, I like research internal and ethnic conflict in it, I also enjoy to write the intervention of Non Governmental Organization (NGO), human rights activity, or epistemic community role around Africa, and the others....and thats why I have a dream that one day I could spend the rest of my life on there...
starving and endemic diseases are everywhere....
It's not a new thing that Africa always surrounded by the crises, ethnic and internal conflict, human rights abuse, mismanagement natural rich, military coups, and lack of competence human resources. But actually, beside its negative label, Africa also has some goodness. Africa has diversity of ethnic and ancient culture, has a rich natural resources that is really needed by many countries. Beside that, rich cultures and ancient traditions of Africa are as beautiful as its unique geography and wildlife. Although its beauty has been wrapped by the conflict, violence and the poor of their society.








Variation of culture

I remember when I was writing about Nigeria. I can imagine how beautiful the situation on Niger delta (the area which oil is abundant in Nigeria) which swamp, river, mangrove spread all over the region, The humble of the society who keen on fishing and planting, the variation of ethnic and their original culture, and the most important, that place has filed a million treasure inside its soberness...it is oil....which finally can destroy everything...
Nigeria’s life...is finally full of oil. Oil cover everything in every corner of Nigeria... oil make a rapacious, make a colonization, make a struggle, and make a sorrow for majority of Nigerian....
till they face a new fact that 'they poor in their own richness'. Niger delta community finally just get a deep impact...they lack of infrastructure, health care, starving, oil pollution, and other grief. Oil just for who have an authority, who have an influence in the politics.Niger Delta today, oil spoils the area..

from Nigeria,going to Great lakes area which cover Uganda, Congo (DRC), Tanzania, Kenya, etc. The situation almost same no different with Nigeria. But, it's not concern in oil, but military coup. We can see many conflict, where peoples have to move in IDP (Internally Displaced Persons), when women and children become direct part of the war...and when they always in frighten conditions, because of rebel attacks...
children and civilians are victims..

One things that we need to know why it all must happen in Africa is, "in spite of their accession to independence, most countries are still dominated by previous traditions of colonial rule. As a result, new political elites lacked experiences with human rights, democracy and rule of law, and felt little commitment to such prequisites. Further, they frequently attached greater importance to other goals, such as the consolidation of state authority, or the use of state power to further personal and tribal objectives"

Thats all about Africa at a Glance. Africa still inspiring me. I hope one day the situations and their destiny can be better. ...and for the last, I still want to say 'I just love Africa'

Hi Niar,

I like your thoughts on Africa, but it’s a huge continent with specific issues affecting different areas.
I think that one of the main issues about Africa is how its corrupt rulers are happy to live in luxury at the expense of their own people. This in turn leads to an attitude of everyman for himself rather than working towards a public good or specific national goal.
The reliance of Charities and NGO's has a negative effect on the governments of each country as they have come to realise that they can rely on these organisations to fulfil a role which they should themselves be in charge of e.g. famine and drought relief, the provision of clean water and basic healthcare.
I have visited Africa on many occasions and the infrastructure of each country that i have visited is either poor or non existent. Bad roads, bad education system, lack of communication and corruption at nearly every level of government. Its factors such as these which are holding back enterprise and limiting the amount of investment business people are prepared to commit.
I think people are now realising this and fragile democracies are now beginning to form rather than previous dictatorships.
This in turn is leading people to realise that its only by developing political stability and infrastructure that poverty can be alleviated.
