"Liberation" Ideology by Edward Cline (April 13, 2008)
It is surprising that Jeremiah Wright has not made a pilgrimage to Mugabe's Zimbabwe to see his malicious ideology in action.

Africa: A Tragic Continent by Walter Williams (February 29, 2008)
President Bush's trip to Africa and promise of increased foreign aid will do little or nothing to solve the ongoing tragedy in most places on the south-of-Sahara African continent.

How Mugabe is Destroying The Zimbabwean Economy by Ralph R. Reiland (August 17, 2007)
With three-fourths of Zimbabwe's labor force already jobless prior to Mugabe's decree, the government's prescription for bringing down inflation only worsened the nation's poverty crisis.

"African People's Socialist Party" and The Racist Uhuru Movement by Valeria Smith (December 1, 2006)
Racist ideology of Uhuru movemment treats black individuals as "blacks" rather then individual human beings.

G8 and Live 8: Charitable Chowderheads by Edward Cline (July 14, 2005)

The Tragedy of Africa: Local Tyranny Subsidized by Western Paternalism by Thomas Sowell (July 13, 2005)

The Tragedy of Africa: Foreign Aid and Debt Forgiveness by Thomas Sowell (July 12, 2005)
