Slavery then and now (2)

It is indeed sad that it has come to this, and in many ways, the deplorable conditions in Africa make us slaves to the Westerners. What has touched me the most in this article, is the fact that if a ship clearly labelled "slave ship", was to appear in any port city in Africa, people would rush into it proclaiming that they were fit to be slaves! This is painful, but true. We have no pride whatsoever as Africans! I believe, not only a change in attitude is needed but good governance will go a long way in turning this situation around. For some bizzare reason, I have not lost hope (despite the fact that with every government that comes into power in my country, corruption gets worse!). I believe there's still hope for Africa.
