Africa's elite and the Western media

Have you seen this little piece of mine, titled, "Africa's elite and the Western media"? Thanks to the Pambazuka guys. I think they are doing a nice job out there.
My main argument is that the African elite should discard the useless job of deodorizing the African image in the West. It is a waste of our talents. Rather, we should ask questions that are aimed at bettering the living conditions in our different native countries. If the people in my village, town or country are able to have a decent life, why should they bother about what the Europeans think about them. Who cares anyway.
Supply my people with constant electric, good roads, water, health care, security etc. They will surely take care of the rest.
Well, see the article in its entirety. ENJOY!
