Instead, the message from South Africa to Sudan is the same: Help find African solutions to Africa's many woes. Instead of grant aid from America, Africa wants relief from its foreign debts. African leaders want America to stop pushing expensive patented medicines to fight scourges like AIDS, and instead make it easier for poor countries to buy generic versions. Where peacekeeping troops are needed to quell the continent's conflicts, Africans say, instead of sending Marines, offer logistical support and resources so that African peacekeepers can do the job. The same goes for the fostering of democracy on the continent, and the American habit of passing judgment on African efforts, publicly declaring elections either free and fair or crooked. "We cannot be heartily independent if we incline to subdue ourselves to the stamp of approval of foreign governments every time we go to the polls," said Tanzania's president, Benajamin Mkapa; he urged Africans to monitor African elections instead. So too in the economic realm, where African leaders are urging America to open the drawbridge to its products. For example, Africa's tens of millions of cotton farmers say they could compete profitably in the world market, if not for the lavish subsidies Washington gives their American rivals. Play fair, they say. http://www.nytimes.com/2005/01/16/weekinreview/16africa.html?ex=1107170565&ei=1&en=40e5f9130b6eb55d --------------------------------- Get Home Delivery of The New York Times Newspaper.
