I think "Africa" was originally the name of the Roman province which roughly corresponds to present-day Libya or Algeria. Ironically, the word "Africa" today tends to make people think of sub-Saharan Africa rather than North Africa.
With regard to the EU, I know it has its faults, but don't you think it may serve as a buffer or moderating influence on the more aggressive American policies? Having said that, I see what you mean about economic exploitation. I think Western countries should cancel the debt "owed" by "developing" countries.
