Description
Corruption is one of the root causes of Africa’s many problems and the reality is the rich are still getting richer and the poor are still dying.
Live 8, the Millennium Development Goals, ‘Make Poverty History’ and all the other assistance the West is giving Africa is being, for the most part, wasted.
These are the views of BAFTA Award-winning journalist Sorious Samura as he shows how African corruption has become normal and accepted, even though it’s tearing the continent to pieces. Despite the billions in western aid poured in, Samura claims Africa is heading into oblivion: but it’s not war, famine and disease strangling development; it’s corruption.
This programme provides a sober portrait of how modern Africa really works, where the voiceless millions, living in poverty, have had their futures stolen by their corrupt governments, aided and abetted by the West.
