        Solve Africa's problems no, eradicate poverty no, end corruption no, but when a western leader cautions, they term it bullying. Scoundrels.

        Thats what we've been trying to do. Maybe not fast enough. But they also have their unique set of problems they should be solving.

        Very different from ours. We can't even feed our people yet we want to compare with others whose problems are of a different level.

        But problems nontheless. My point was that we might achieve more if everyone spent more time and energy mowing their own lawns first.

        Irony - decimating your country and suppressing opposition, yet having the nerve to 'advise' another head of state on peace. Go figure. 🙄

        That is exactly what Americans are - they are silently destroying other countries but preaching peace at UNGA.
