Anyway, exploitation - in what ever way - cannot ever lead to nation building, instead, it lays the

foundation for conflict. In terms of exploitation, there is no difference between Africa and Asia or any
other part of the world; the end result will be negative. For lawlessness, I think African countries are
doing well as compared to European countries where the use of weapons is common among young
people. The kind of behaviour young people employ in for example Holland, is unimaginable in Sierra
Leone, in peace time.

The word corruption is a relative term. Look at what is presently happening with the financial crisis in
the U.S. Europe is that not part of corruption? Check again…

In fact, there is no African who is in favour of “shit to happen over and over again out of their notion of
‘personal freedom’”. The freedom Africans always want, is freedom from suppression from any power
that might be, but they can be easily rule.

You are just saying things that out of imagination not from reality, because traditional bond/families are
well maintain in Sierra Leone, and is playing grater role for national cohesion. In general, the faith of
the youth in any country depends on the people that are in position of decision making.

Chinaman, ik just looks like the exploitation of youths in Asia finally is building the country up. There
are two factors in Africa that differ. 1. too much lawlessness (+corruption) to build something worthwile
at a competitive price 2. the nature of the Africans who let shit happen over and over again, out of their
notion of “personal freedom”. Which always means “I can do what I want, no matter current tasks or
obligations from society or the past”.

This remark is especially valid in societies where traditional bonds/families are heavily
disrupted. Sierra Leone is one of the countries where this has happened.

The error of these youths is very small. The error of a shattered society that remains so is
large.
