Also, debt cancellation won't help Africa, and neither will forming more useless celebrity-studded organizations to garner more blind check-writing. As I alluded to under your previous heart-wrenching post on Chad, there will be no reform in African nation until the autocrats are toppled.
The most humane route is war. As for pacifist civil disobedience, I believe Idi Amin would have slaughtered all of Gandhi's followers without hesitation.
