nah, I don't think she was refering to Obama. And the thing I like in the talk is that, she didn't deny we had problems in Africa, in fact, she highlighted the problems but she also showed a way out and what we are doing and how we can be helped.

You should watch it, its really 'eye opening'

I agree with you that we need God's intervention. What I don't understand is how we expect this intervention to come? I mean, I think God's been calling a lot of us and our answer has always been 'here I am, send my brother',

Maybe we need to change that to, 'here I am, send me'?

We don't need any "god's" intervention, we need creativity inspired by the dream of the people to live in a peaceful and conducive environment for infrastructural and intellectual advancement. creativity inspired by the will to put an end to child sufferings in Africa. Creativity inspired by the positive societal development. All that my beloved ones, doesn't need god or fear of unseen. All we need is collectivity, a mental state that puts everyone in charge of the people. A mental state that makes everyone thinks if they do wrong, the entire world will collapse thereby pushing them to want to do right.
