" - No doubt there would be a lot of headwind to such a proposal but then again changing the status quo is never easy.
The world community (read: United Nations and its member states collectively) has failed the people of Africa in the past half century.
Their ability to provide short-term aid must be applauded but conversely their ability to deliver lasting improvements must be viewed as an abject failure.
There is an old saying, 'When everyone is in charge, no one is responsible.
' The premise of the UN is sound and should be reinforced but their mission and mandate must be modified.
It's time for new strategies in Africa, by and for Africans, and not the continuation of strategies which have proven, time and again, to fail.
