I read a few articles about this a couple years ago. Africa is simply too large and too culturally diverse for anything practical to be done in a disturbingly high number of cases.

Many of these people still identify strongly with their tribal histories, and are literally programmed to hate the people who live in the neighbouring village, because after all, that's what they've done for as long as anyone can remember. There must be some reason to hate them, because if there wasn't, they wouldn't hate them right?

I've talked to a few guys from Nigeria, and that is seriously the kind of thinking that goes on for many people. Hopefully as more technology is introduced, new forms of communication will open peoples' minds more. Military and humanitarian intervention alone isn't enough to change these people; they have to do it on their own.
