  1. Our parents shouldn't have used other people's suffering to try to force us to eat, or be greatful.

  2. Our parents shouldn't have used political crisises, like Rawanda, or famines, or things we wouldn't comprehend as children. Don't reference geopolitical crisis and expect your children to understand.

  3. There was something racist in what they were doing - it implied African parents weren't responsible. When in actual fact the causes of conflict and crisis in Africa are multi-facetted, globalized, and complicated.

  4. Africa is far more well developed in some parts than lots of westerners assume.

Thank you for reading.
