Saving our brothers

This one got me thinking. Do you remember sometime in 1985 (or thereabout) when Nigerians threw loaves of bread to an Ethiopian soccer team in Lagos in mockery? It was described as a national shame. This essay somehow reminded me of the time.
Why do Western charities always step up to help Africans in difficulty while rich African countries and individuals appear largely unconcerned? This is just a question and not a condemnation. Read this essay and, if you like, help me ask the question aloud. ENJOY.
