Africa Needs Own Space Agency: Sudan's BashirAsiaOne ^ | Wednesday, Sep 05, 2012

Africa needs its own space research agency, Sudanese President Omar al-Bashir told a regional conference of communications ministers who met on Wednesday as the continent's IT sector grows.
"I'm calling for the biggest project, an African space agency," Mr Bashir said in remarks opening the two-day conference. "Africa must have its space agency."
Known as AfriSpace, it would enable "cooperation among African states in space research and technology and their space applications," crucial to the continent's development, says a working document issued for the African Union conference.
When they last met in Nigeria two years ago, ministers asked the African Union Commission to conduct a feasibility study for AfriSpace. At the Khartoum talks they are expected to ask for AU implementation of the study, which aims to provide a "roadmap for the creation of the African Space Agency."

Yea...with about 2/3 of the africans either starving to death, sick with weird jungle rot, killing each other or generally dancing around aimlessly and generally living 12th century lives, you?d think they would have other priorities.

I agree.
It should be named the National African Space Agency (NASA) and it should have as its primary focus the encouragement of Christians and Jews to feel good about their accomplishments.

Maybe building a shitter or looking to the Ancient Romans for advice on building roads and maybe some running water and crop rotation.. maybe crops and food might be even a better place to start.. then maybe in a few thousand years you can graduate to things like a space program..
