Africa: On the Temporary Relocation of Twitter CEO to Africa

Fascination with Africa is as old as the world itself; being mindful, of course, of the fact that Africa is the birthplace of the human race, independent of the current reality that the continent is relatively technologically underdeveloped. The motives for the fascination with Africa are as varied as your imagination: the beautiful culture and the truly beautiful people, the spectrum and diversity of beautiful human skin colors, the innocence and purity of Africa - of course before the current wave of influence from outside. There is also the wild life and the beautiful, mild weather that God has bestowed on the continent. (It is a well-known fact that God has blessed Africa with excellent weather, which to a large extent explains the relative underdevelopment of the continent. I mean the lack of real life challenges.)

Furthermore, Africa is love. In fact I am not aware of any people in the world that love other people as do (traditional) Africans. You visit them and they would vacate their "beds" for you to use, while they sleep on the floor. Contrast that with the hate that consumes many parts of the world. White people, and, more recently, Asians, have abused African's innocence, though it seems that a few African countries are reacting in a way that should educate foreigners (to Africa) on the need to treat people well.
