Here we go, typical of some of you, so quick to throw insult at anybody who dare disagree.

You don't need to write an essay but be objective simple! If you don't have your facts about Zimbabwe then copy and paste from Mugabe's speeches as usual.

himkers:

bros, pls LIBERIA was not colonised by the US. Is it because they use dollar and their flag is similar to that of the US??
Liberia was colonized by the U.S. It gained her independence 26 July 1847. And its capital Monrovia was named after James Monroe, the fifth president of the U.S.

Africa (by David Diop)

Africa, my Africa
Africa of proud warriors in ancestral savannahs
Africa of whom my grandmother sings
On the banks of the distant river
I have never known you
But your blood flows in my veins
Your beautiful black blood that irrigates the fields
The blood of your sweat
The sweat of your work
The work of your slavery
Africa, tell me Africa
Is this you, this back that is bent
This back that breaks
Under the weight of humiliation
This back trembling with red scars
And saying yes to the whip under the midday sun
But a grave voice answers me
Impetuous child that tree, young and strong
That tree over there
Splendidly alone amidst white and faded flowers
That is your Africa springing up anew
Springing up patiently, obstinately
Whose fruit bit by bit acquires
The bitter taste of liberty.

Controversy is an understatement, Africa will keep struggling as long as we keep supporting politicians who kill, get selected by all means to remain in power.

Krak: Africa is such a unique continent and over the decades there have been a lot of untruths, stereotypes and misconceptions about this beautiful continent.

It is surprising to learn that these stereotypes and misconceptions did not only come from outside the continent but also from its inhabitants.

Below is a list of some amazing things most people do not know about Africa. It includes the Good, the Bad and the Ugly things:

1.Africa has 54 Countries and one "non-self governing territory", which is
Western Sahara.
Hahaha... Those things you called untruths, stereotypes and misconceptions are real about the continent looking at them from a general perspective not individually.

Let's agree there are huge problem to be solved in Africa and that has to come by admitting who we are and what we are capable of doing in finding solutions.

Long live Africa and long live Nigeria my father's land.
