SADLY, as a World Vision supporter for many years ago, Central Africa, Congo and I heard about South Africa now killing the farmers this has been going for decades. No amount of money or Christianity or compassion seems to help. Even as this goes on, I just pray for those people that God has mercy on them and their families.
The United States can only help those who have a semblance of understanding that KILLING, RAPING AND KIDNAPPING is not part of our CULTURE OR RELIGION.

I think that they do understand it – their intention is that these extreme behaviours will be seen as a measure of their desperation, anguish and grievance, which Western societies will feel obligated to allay. And anyone who views human depravity as a product of economic or political injustice (our society must be institutionally discriminatory – we’re producing rapists!) will of course swallow it hook, line and sinker.
