Uganda passing law that allows them to put homosexuals to death.

Okay, so killing gay people isn't the correct response. How would you address these problems politically?

To start with, we tell the pope to go fuck himself and give the people down there REAL information on sexuality and even distribute condoms. One of the biggest problms in Africa is AIDS and this would do a lot to help. I know, abstinence would be nice, but abstinence only sex education has pretty much been proven not to work.

As for high unemployment, that will solve itself as the region gains general stability which, in turn, will be more possible if the AIDS epidemic is brought under control. Government can't create jobs for people because the government is almost non existant in some areas (and the government doesn't exist at all in Somalia). Private business doesn't want to put people to work there because they're afraid that if they spend ten mil to build a factory, it's going to be torn down by warlords before they can even make back the money they spent to build it in the first place. Right now, the only way anyone can make significant money from Africa (on a global scale at least) is by extracting natural resources. Problem there is, long term, that just leaves Africa poorer and poorer.
