I am abit puzzled that much of the credit would go to the evangelicals, i do understand that in context of what he was writing about, that would flow preety nicely, is it too much to ask for acknowledgement that the sudan peace deal was brokered by Africans, specifically Kenyans like Lazaro Sumbeiywo (nominated for a nobel prize as noted by bankelele here )

Well, I would not be too surprised about this. A large part of this is the rationalization show by many First Worlders who want to think that their work in is solely for the good of Africa and only for altruistic reasons.

This “give to Africa to save it from itself” attitude permeates the dealings of aid organizations, missionary organizations and even governments.

A side effect of this attitude is this thinking that goes something along the lines of “if there is something good happening in Africa, look for the First Worlder associated with it because the must be responsible for making it happen”.

Sad but true.

@S! and Jke, glad you liked it, make a trip up there…its on the way to Lake Turkana.

The christianty part has me pondering, in some cases however good the intentions it really does disrupt a way of life…..how does one approach some of their sensitive practices? like FGM ? If only achieveing the balance between Mordern way of life and traditon was easy..

Thank you for reading, its one of the longer posts i have done.
FGM is a tough issue , i would like to think that Education is key, but some samburus who are educated still practice it, so i dont know.
