African Tourism.
International tourism will support any country that can provide a safe, crime free, African experience.
Tourists want to experience African nature in all its facets. They do not come to Africa to experience the luxuries of London and New York. They come to Africa for an African experience. We do not have to change what we have, but rather preserve it and make it assessable to the international community.

How can African leaders expect first world Nations to provide financial poverty aid and to write off world dept if they continue to spend millions every month on their own luxurious lifestyles.
It is time that leaders realize that narrowing the gap between rich and poor include themselves.

When there is no unity in governance, how can it be expected from the people to unite into one rainbow nation?
When there is strife and verbal war in parliament, people live in fear and uncertainty.
When the Southern point of Africa is in strife, unity in the whole continent is threatened.
The world feels this failure of the emerging African nations to unite, and Africa looses its chance to compete with the power players of the world.

When one considers the early American history in relation to slavery and the Indians, it seems that what is happening in Africa today, has been enacted in American history.
The leaders of first world countries should understand and guide African leaders in their policy making efforts, and not just accuse and punish them.
However any loose cannon should be deactivated.
It may be too much to expect an inexperienced African leader, or one who do not have the support of his own cabinet, to be in a position of global policy making.
The maturity of African leadership should be reflected in a fall in the unemployment rate and the steady increased economical growth.

No African government can hope to bring peace and stability to their countries until all African countries adopt regimes of peaceful democracy.
As soon as one country prosper, a tide of displaced people stream over its borders drowning its success with an ever growing need for housing, food and employment.
South Africa is an example. South Africa would have been on target to make poverty a history, but with millions of displaced people from neighboring countries, she will be lucky if she can avoid civil war.
There are two solutions.
Bring peace to all African countries. Many displaced people will return to their country of origin when peace and prosperity returns.
Create temporary kraals with opportunities for displaced people to become self sufficient, without draining the resources of their newly adopted country.

The Bush government rejected regulating greenhouse gasses.
The argument is that it will damage the economy and cause too many job losses.
Since the leading nations are roll models for others to follow, I guess we will loose the globe now
