I´m thinking of visiting photographer Jens Assur´s exhibition Africa is a Great Country at Världskulturmuseet in Gothenburg. The exhibition ends 31 August 2014. I´m guessing seeing these images can be an big eye-opener for many of us.

"I've chosen exciting cities where growth and development can be seen clearly. One example is Kigali in Rwanda, which is associated in most people's minds with the genocide of 1994. Today, the city is almost like a cross between Beverly Hills and Switzerland – prosperous, orderly and green. Or Gaborone in Botswana, a country that conjures up images of the No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency, with its red earth roads and its picturesque landscape. You could take a slice of the city and put it down in Los Angeles, and no-one would notice the difference."
