in populations and civil society in sub-saharan africa in particular i agree that north africa stabilitywas more of a priority i've always said that there was no democratization and that's a lie north africa has collapsed so significantly you do not see mass uprisings across africa what you do see is populations demonstrating with in the former framework of a greater rule of law and greater democratization it's not one hundred percent but it's certainly more than it was ten years ago and so i'm on the side more progress . if you last more last ten seconds because the b.b.c. when i go climate i don't know that she's living alone but the reality is that poor people in africa there are more hungry people or more london's people whose great unemployment that's the sum total of the achievement of course thank you very much you know it's all right we've run out of time many thanks my guest today in our washington and in london and thanks to our viewers for watching us here are he scenics time in. remember cross talk rules. system. all.

lot of people are saying this right now as africa is stepping up its development some countries are getting ahead while some are not but nonetheless there's enormous foreign interest and i'm thinking of the united states and china do you like the term great game well i think well i think there's been an enormous interest in africa since about the one nine hundred eighty s. with the introduction of the neo liberal policies of the international monetary fund and world bank ever since then i think the situation in africa has become one in which which essentially we have not a neo colonialism we don't have a new colonialism what we have is essentially occupied territories territories occupied by the large corporations and supported by the international financial institutions and the aid agencies. and so what they're there to do is to reap as much benefits as they can avoid as much tax as they can profiteer. the price that is paid by most africans is massive dispossession of their land massive unemployment massive decline in in in standard of living and more hungry people than there ever were th

south africa, and the epidemic in south africa is the worst of any other country in the world.umber and premature deaths caused by hiv/aids has increased in the last decade from 39% to 75%. we are only one percent of the population, but 17% of people living with hiv/aids in the world. so when you start to hear things like that, for me, obviously, i'm south african, so it made sense for me, but i think that if i weren't a south african and i heard those numbers i would -- >> what is the main reason that you believe it is so bad in south africa, and what can be done to tackle it properly do you think? >> i think it is a lack of education. i really do. i believe it. and this program has made me aware of that. i think that we take for granted people knowing how to prevent hiv/aids. there is a lot of time and resources and money being poured into immediate care for people who are already positive and i think that is very important, but there's, we have a real problem with governments and donators not understanding the importance of prevention care. i think that to end this vicious c

that's the tragedy of africa. that's the tragedy now in abia although that photograph was taken in darfur. this takes me to the reason that i wrote a novel about darfur. since i went there in 2004 about the refugee camps, i have written numerous articles and always preaching to the choir. i was inspired by the example the kite runner, a guy who wrote a novel about afghanistan, and hundreds of thousands of people who never would read about afghanistan bought the novel and got interested. i thought why not try? i had a rather more important reason to try to write this, and that's because of the women of darfur who actually ask me to write it when i was there interviewing them, and i said to the people i was speaking to, i'm a privileged white woman, how could i possibly ever understand the african experience? you know, when i was born, i won the lottery. i was born white and healthy and in north america, and frankly, it doesn't get luckier than that, and they said to me, but, yes, you're here. they took me for my im

the children in africa are not so lucky. they have nothing to help them, doctors don't have the equipment necessary to dealing with the problem and there is no follow-up program. as of now, a few ngos in countries like nigeria, cameroon, south africa, ghana are struggling to take on the challenge. these ngo were created mostly by parents who were frustrated by the lack of infrastructure to help their children. but they are faced with a variety of challenges, lack of funds, lack of support from the government, fear from family to shield the evil child with autism, et cetera. the mother told me once, if i show my son to you, what are you going to do for him? and this is the reality on the field. these kids are hidden. they are afraid to show their children with autism because they know there's nothing that can be done for them. they think that they should just expose themselves and the child, they think that they will just expose the child for nothing. they do not have any hope. they do not seem protected. and i think that the
