1. Focus on comprehensively developing the African Continent from North to South and East to West. Do what it needs to make this happen. Organize development resources and teams, supported wherever necessary with military protection, from all over the world in a concerted and coordinated effort to eliminate poverty and illiteracy.

   And, it is important not to rely solely on development resources from UN and other multilateral funding agencies.

   Build showcase after showcase – thousands of them – in Africa to prove to those engaged in pillaging and genocides that better life is possible and that real betterment is within our grasp. Yes, it will be important to engage these forces as well so that destructive energies can be channelized into constructive goals.

   Let this be a 5-decade program run with the same passion that business leaders run their businesses. Set the goals and must have them happen.

   Its a shame for the human race, especially for the 21st century human civilization, to see a large continent of people mired in abject poverty and genocides.
