I would have to agree here, unfortunately - BUT, we could be in the middle of a shift. For example, if there are enough factors directly related to Africa that form a critical mass, and that "mass" could potentially threaten the rest of us, then people would have to start caring about it (Africa) and not just Africa, but others too.

A sort of state of global interdependence that would require it.

For example: The AIDS crisis, and emergence or gaining of power of "rogue" regimes coupled with some other factor could in effect, say a mass refugee problem that moves off continent, "forces the issue".
