Some Ideas for Africa
Advertisements [?]
I've been thinking about Africa for a while and I was wondering if there was some progress being made on that front. I don't think we give African issues enough play here and here's some stuff I was thinking could help the situation:

-Solar farms placed across the Sahara and Grasslands region to provide local areas with electrical power and also to sell power to Asia/America as well.

-Desalitantion plants along the Atlantic coast to allow for irrgation of farmland in the South. More farms alloted to local people.

-A pan-African natural resources council to ensure the safe and effective distribution of the continent's mineral wealth to it's popualace.

-An Pan-African legal and police system to monitor arms and drug trafficking as well as safe, effective resolution to land and civil disputes as well as combating urban crime.

-An abandonment of the abstinance campaign and it's replacement by safe-sex education.



This is just the beginning, so what do you think?
