The article is cool, but this is how it describes Africa

"Lack of infrastructure, Few hospitals, landlines and roads, little
power, education, or running water,  Small banks, sparse insurance,
tiny stock exchange,  is a large part of what economists mean when
they say poverty. And much of Africa is a giant, dark  infrastructural
void, as anyone who has flown over the continent at night can attest"

I don't suppose that all f the western world is all tarmac and fly
overs and bridges!

We deserve better positive coverage. We should also learn to love ourselves!
