Uzodinma Iweala - Stop Trying To 'Save' Africa - washingtonpost.com: "By Uzodinma Iweala

Last fall, shortly after I returned from Nigeria, I was accosted by a perky blond college student whose blue eyes seemed to match the 'African' beads around her wrists.
'Save Darfur!' she shouted from behind a table covered with pamphlets urging students to TAKE ACTION NOW! STOP GENOCIDE IN DARFUR!
My aversion to college kids jumping onto fashionable social causes nearly caused me to walk on, but her next shout stopped me.
'Don't you want to help us save Africa?' she yelled."
