African Debt Relief

The G8 Summit's in Scotland and the topic on everyone's lips is the discussion on Africa's debt relief. I'm praying that that's just exactly what they'll do. It's the least that the developed economies can do to help ease the wide spread suffering that they've unleased on that continent.

The African continent, as a colony some 50 or 60 odd years ago, were nearly sucked dry by their colonial masters. Many were shipped to both the Old World and the New World as slaves, treated as nothing more than mere animals. By the time that they were "liberated," their colonial masters haphazardly demarcated each of these newly forged countries' territorial boundaries in neat, straight lines. They've failed to account the different tribes that might not be compatible living together in such close proximity to each other, eventually leading to tribal wars and even genocide on such a massive scale. Remember Rwanda?
