The modern image of Africa is formed not by Africa researchers but by the media, which use thrilling headlines: Is Africa dying? Africa - the failed continent? Africa - the continent without future? Africans are waiting for a miracle? Africa is burning, Africa is begging for help, Africa - the most forgotten continent? Smothering the true picture of Africa during the last few years, off peak tariff using permanently towards this „mentally disabled (in our opinion) child" brought to commonly known situations, which have no reasonable way out. The author mentions some symptoms of the disease of „the disable child - Africa", which are, in my opinion, the real threat to the continent's future. Aspects, like: unfamiliar forms of statehood and ways of governance, education which is culturally foreign, lack of basic economic knowledge and financial running of the world, unconsidered aid policies, lack of ideas to solve population explosion and finally - the false picture of African reality in the media, are the most important of all from which the treatment of the "continent of special concern" ought to begin.
