Europe has achieved its position because of its culture.
For poverty, disease and famine, Africa didnt need any help.
Behold, the Finnish übermench speaks. :p

African nations have never recieved a fair compensation of the produce that they've 'gifted' to Europe and the West, mostly the former colonial masters and companies from those countries benefited. It's like wealth created through slave labour, pretty much the same thing happened in nazi-Germany with the 'untermench' doing the work.
What produce? They mainly export natural resources.. And i think they get the world market price plus cheap loans and economic aid! Africa has the longest tradition of slave labour, they still use it..
Please give me a break, if they really would work instead of playing the victim, they would easily create some wealth.
