But this picture, based on Africa’s most corrupt regimes, is unfair and misleading – like claiming that all Europeans are guilty of “ethnic cleansing” because of what happened in the former Yugoslavia. Yes, African has some failed states, but most of its 53 countries are mostly peaceful, agreeable places.
伦敦 —— 非洲在人们心目中普遍的形象是一块陷入冲突和悲惨沼泽中的大陆。但这种基于非洲最腐败政府所得出的印象既不公平又具有误导性 —— 就像因为前南发生的事件就宣称所有欧洲人都犯有“种族清洗罪”一样。非洲有某些失败国家的确是事实，但 53 个非洲国家中的绝大多数从总体上看还是令人愉悦的和平国度。
