The representation of Africa in western media evolves around the same imagery of poverty, deseases, hunger and death. It is a constant repetition of the same stereotypes.
However the continent is in a constant change and just at the brink of liberating itself. In an economical sense Africa has the highest growth rates in the world. Analyst talk of Asian tigers and African lions.
How is that possible? There must be people who run the countries and create a stable environment for investors - local and global. In fact there is an African middle class which is vibrant, growing and giving that stability. They are highly educated abroad as well as within the continent. They have good jobs and have to answer the same questions of life as the western counterparts.
