So to make Africa more "civilized", it needs to be re-colonized? I'm sorry, but no. If anything colonization ultimately led Africa to become what it is now. For example, look hoe the African map is drawn up. In the past, the natural boarders for countries really depended on the resources that country needed to survive. When Africa was colonized, the boarders were drawn up as a simple means of dividing up one country's territory over another. It really screwed the continent over.

A long, long time ago, Africa had great empires, great civilizations, and thriving cities. Africa has the natural resources and means to be one of the great economic powerhouses of the planet. But How can this be done? I do't think colonization is the answer. I think Africa's map needs to be redrawn. Or better yet, I think large portions of Africa should form into a union.
