You know what Africa's main problem is?
My friend who just returned from a long trip questions me, but I'm prepared. I already have the lesson ready on the exploitation of resources by the white man, I know, I didn't understand it well but I can say it. But before he can leave he answers himself. “E’ witchcraft”.
And he starts to tell me an incredible reality, a primitive world in which if it hails hard and the harvest is destroyed the sorcerer slaughters a chicken, he observes the blood and based on that decides which woman will be punished. Why, you are, It's always a woman's fault. If there is a man you hate with all your heart, wish him to be reborn as a woman in Africa, my says (I don't hate anyone that much, and I don't believe in reincarnation, but I would certainly hope for an internship as an African woman for two months for someone, almost almost). The woman identified as responsible will be expelled from the village, banned, or sometimes put alive in boiling water or thrown into the river with crocodiles (if he survives he was innocent). In certain cases, if the blame for the hailstorm or any other negative event will be attributed with certainty to you – according to a culture for which nothing happens for natural or scientifically explainable reasons – she will be killed and her heart will be eaten.
WHERE ONLY WOMEN WORK
Furthermore, women are the only ones who work, there. You see them in the morning with a child tied up in front of them, one at your side, the basket on their heads as they go into the fields. It is a disgrace for men in many southern African cultures to work, and it is impossible for them as adults to learn respect for women. As soon as they no longer depend on their mother, they stop following her to work and stay put in the village.
Obviously this is not scientific research, but it is the story of a friend, who has seen segments of a reality and tells it to me. No pretense of objectivity, but a hands-on experience. We are not talking about immigration, of flows, of refugees, none of this, because I don't know how you think politically and I don't want to argue about it. I only know that he went there to bring help, and tells what he saw.
MISSIONARIES TRULY GIVE THEIR LIFE FOR AFRICANS (BEWARE OF OTHER ORGANIZATIONS)
However, he is very certain of one thing. Missionaries truly give their lives for Africans. They live with them, like them, they make the same effort and suffer the same deprivations as the local inhabitants, and the last thing they do is put a cross around the necks of Africans. But the speakers are packed with people, the masses last three hours and people follow them, because they speak about Christ with their lives. These missionaries gave my friend an assignment: help us not to make people leave here, help us educate them. We teach men how to work, we teach how to fight witchcraft beliefs. Send us building materials and money, let's build schools. Send us help, intelligences, money, people.
My friend met many people who work there, and I don't even know if he goes to mass on Sundays, but he told me clearly: if you want to send something, send to missionaries not to other organizations, because unlike these they don't waste a cent, they keep nothing for themselves, they make everything profitable, to the utmost, because they really give their lives there. He saw archbishops digging the land, priests sleep among insects, nuns consume themselves until their last breath. The fact is that if you don't do it for Christ you can't do it, not that way, come serve.
Ecco, this is just a story, it has no claim to the absolute, it is not a treatise on geopolitics, it is not a proposed solution. It's a photograph. Surely others will have taken others, the continent is large and the realities are many. However this is certainly true, and I wanted to share it.
THE REALITY THAT HURTS
I'll add what I've read: minors entrusted to women who are not their real mothers and who will then disappear once things are sorted out in Europe, and hundreds of women who will instead be diverted to become prostitutes, each of which is valid 60 thousand euros in proceeds for the mafia itself. Just putting some 100.000 In the “labor market” in Italy the Nigerian mafia does a turnover of 600 million euros per year.
Added to this is what Africa loses: young resources. I read about Ghanaians who sold their taxis or their small herds to come to Europe and find themselves on the streets begging or earning money 3 euros per hour if that suits him, treated like animals, and who obviously cannot even set aside capital as was in their plans. And even if they wish to return, they will never do so out of shame because they wouldn't know what to say to the village, they wouldn't know how to justify that money spent to get to Europe, in fact they fuel other departures by taking selfies on Facebook pretending that everything is fine so as not to tell the truth, out of shame. Result: other young people (eighteen year olds, not educated) They try to come here because they think it's easy to get rich.
