What would you have America do, or say?

It sometimes seems as if when America notices Africa, the reaction is "stay out of our business"; when America doesn't notice the reaction is "why are you ignoring Africa"? Of course when that dichotomy comes up the reaction is always that the attention given is the wrong sort, but what's the right sort? Other than sending lots of money, of course...
1. Label Boko Haram as a terrorist organisation - which it is. Stop all the verbal gymnastics and second guessing.
2. Appreciate that the primary concern of Africans is not links between any group and AQIM, but loss of life and limb.
3. Get your policy makers (especially our dear general) to appreciate that fact.
4. Show some more concern for the victims of the attacks, do not reduce the discussion to "Western interests this" and "Western interests that".
5. Get out of the way.
