Surviving In Africa

 

            
             The evolution of the world can be traced back 40,000 to what we are calling today the continent of Africa. It is the oldest and the most contradictory continent.

These three factors can answer the multitude of the questions that the international community is struggling to answer for a long time as "why is it that in Africa people are always fighting and dying?" or "why don't the governments stop it? These characteristics of the African society are also posing some questions that cannot be answered as fast as the previous ones: "when is the present situation going to stop? "who should stop it? and even "is it worth trying to change anything?"

Hopefully it will be soon, otherwise the situation will become even worse than it is now, but hope is not the most suitable word in this case, and this is why .
