Most of the African continent is still locked in battle, from civil conflict to tribal wars, they rage just out of the headlines due to more pressing news that matters to most people. From the reliance of the many consumer electronics makers on precious minerals and metals that are abundant in that corner of the world, to the many conflict diamonds that are finding their way into jewelry stores all over the globe fueling wars and sending money for arms and other weapons killing millions, untold and silenced forever. Has the world forgotten of the problems the African People are facing, maybe not, but they surely have taken a back-seat as the world turns attention to their own problems. Millions of people on the continent still die from disease and famine and with Mr. Mandela out of the UN, focus may be shifting from the African continent hopefully not for too long a time.
