Well I hope so. They been throwing money at Africa for over 30 years, over a trillion dollars. You can't solve something without looking at root causes.

Hunger in Africa is prevalent because the agricultural markets are never allowed to develop because of mass food dumping and restrictive exporting rules from the 1st world. The WTO is a great website which shows just how many anti-dumping attacks the first world have carried out on the third world which only makes this worse. Nothing but protectionism and agricultural subsidization. 70% of Africa's economy is Agriculturally based, what do the EU and US expect them to develop? CPU factories overnight? What are they supposed to trade with?

Poor Africans cant do anything for themselves. I hate this attitude that is created because of this. Instead of bringing someone from Africa to break down WHY this keeps happening they grab a celebrity to talk for an entire CONTINENT.
