NOTHING'S WRONG WITH AFRICA!
US economist Jeffery Sachs challenged the West to put the mirror to its face at the UN Food Systems Pre-Summit in 2021.
When the imperialist powers were not colonising Africans who had systems of governance in place, they were plundering Africa's precious resources, assassinating political figures and, fuelling wars, stifling the continent's ability to conduct its affairs.
Sachs said Africans continue to be exploited and denied their rights recognised under the Universal Declaration of Human Rights adopted by the United Nations in 1948. He mentioned Belgium's brutal occupation that k*lled more than 10 million Congolese and the Belgian/British/US-led assassination of the Democratic Republic of the Congo's first democratically elected leader, Prime Minister Patrice Lumumba (1925-61).
The bigger problem is not African corruption, but rather Western imperialism. Let us know your thoughts below.

If you're worried about ticks, put up an owl box.
The animal driving most Lyme disease in the eastern US is the white-footed mouse. Ticks that feed on them are far more likely to come away infected than ticks that feed on other animals. The bigger the local mouse population, the worse the next year's tick year.
A single barred owl pair raising chicks can take hundreds of rodents in a breeding season. Owls also don't carry Lyme. The bacterium can't survive their digestive tract, so an owl that eats an infected mouse is a dead end for the disease.
Researchers at the Cary Institute, the leading lab on Lyme ecology, have been explicit about this: "Landscapes that support predators have reduced Lyme disease risk."
One owl box on its own isn't going to fix a tick year. But a yard with owls, foxes, bobcats, and weasels in it has fewer mice, and a yard with fewer mice has fewer infected ticks.
If you have woods or fields nearby, a properly sized barn owl or screech owl box (different species, different ...
