I totally agree that it's a worthwhile read. I just disagree with the premise. I learned a lot though. The West deserves so much of the blame for Africa's endemic problems, but I think that it denigrated a bit when ALL the problems are blamed on the west. Boko Haram is a special case that needs to be dealt with by Africa and the west jointly. It wil be good for everyone, but especially the innocent victims here, those poor kidnapped little girls.
