- Peter Goodspeed: Africa awaits the Obama miracle
-
Barack Obama’s election as the next U.S. president has raised extraordinary expectations in Africa.
Once described by then-British Prime Minister Tony Blair as “a scar on the conscience of the world,” the continent has been promised help for generations, but still suffers from civil wars, tribal conflicts, epidemic diseases, malnutrition, poverty, a lack of opportunity, crime and corruption.
Africans are hoping Mr. Obama, the first ever African-American president (his father was Kenyan), will change all that.

The plight of the underdeveloped will still be be highlighted by Bono and the weekend social activists but the actual work will be done by the same groups that have been there for the decades........
