New posts by stk Africa: The Rising Sun http://www.trifter.com/Africa/Africa-The-Rising-Sun.83780 When the continent Africa is mentioned people visualizes poverty stricken people, war- torn homes, dirty environment due to the constant images and view the western media has chosen to portray to the world, most of the time they show Africa on FOX, CNN or SKY news; it always about war, poverty, fraudster, corruption e.t.c, even in mini series Law and Order, many times they have portrayed it was mostly negative stuffs. There is more to Africa than what is being said and show to the western world. However most the things they publish and about Africa is true to an extent yet it's sometime over generalized and inaccurately documented. In Africa it not always about the troubles but its inhabitants are normal people with a happy life and living the good life as well as enjoying it. There are so many beautiful things about Africa, its landscape, people and breathtaking wilds. It has so much to share pure blackness You've seen the images on TV about Africa: the huts, the famine, disease, wars and suffering but they never show you that Africa is beautiful, has happy people and that not every part and person in Africa is poor. Yes, Africa is a land of wars, poverty and corruption. The situation in places like Darfur, Sudan, desperately cries out for more media attention and international action. But Africa is also a land of stock markets, high rises, Internet cafes and a growing middle class.

This is the part of Africa that functions. And this Africa also needs media attention, if it's to have any chance of fully joining the global economy. Africa's media image comes at a high cost, even, at the extreme, the cost of lives. Stories about hardship and tragedy aim to tug at our heartstrings, getting us to dig into our pockets or urge Congress to send more aid. But no country or region ever developed thanks to aid alone. Investment, and the job and wealth creation it generates is the only road to lasting development. The images the media portrays does not always necessarily mean that Africa is a bad continent or the people from the continent are pathetic s, due to the instability of African background and scar marred deep into the continent, there are still so many issues the African nations are fighting like bad government, poverty e.t.c poverty cannot be erased but its getting reduced.
You have seen the images on the TV about Africa: the huts, the famine, disease, war but they never show Africa is so beautiful and not every part of Africa and people are poor.
