Africa is the most corrupt continent on Earth.
The first step in solving a problem is to recognize that it exists. Most of Africa's 63 countries haven't yet taken that step.
Saying that there are bad people everywhere, or that all governments have corruption minimizes the problem and makes it seem almost normal.
Most African politicians will not address corruption. Accusations and attempts to help from the Western World have been met with challenges of "racism" (eg, Pres Mbeki) or "Colonialism" (Pres JZ).
Transparency International says it is the World's responsibility to tackle corruption in Africa. Both the people and the wildlife will suffer until this is done. On their scale, only one African country has a barely passing score....and that desert country has outlawed much of their hunting. The most corrupt country on Earth is in Africa, (Somalia), with many others not far behind.
Tanzania's elephant will go the way of Kenya's. Their principal ally is the PH.
When Hillary Clinton was in RSA two years ago she brought 14 million dollars from the US taxpayer. Within a few months, 14 million was deposited in private bank accounts of the politicians she visited. A coincidence?
If you want to hunt in Africa, do it now. It is one of the best ways to both fight corruption and to preserve wildlife....................FWB
