A glimmer of hope for the future of Africa? I heard Tony Blair discuss the goals he has set for his Commission on Africa on the BBC. It seems to recognize the complexity of the problems and seeks to establish a prioritized and coordinated long term attack on the problems, funded by Western nations and designed by the donor nations together with African nations. In so doing, it hopes to overcome the usual mutually destructive donor-recipient relationship.
If anything has a chance for success, this would seem to be it. Certainly the United Nations 2015 Millenium Goals program is simply a joke.
