1.) The main visual elements are the big African continent, and the white footprint walking on it.
2.) I think this political cartoon refers to the fact that Africa is letting itself be pushed around and "walked all over" and that the white people are getting all the power.
3.) I think they're a very mad person. They're mad at the Europeans because they are pushing Africa around and taking what is not rightfully theirs. But he's also mad at Africa because it's being a total doormat and letting the Europeans push it around.
4.) The visual evidence of this is that there is a huge white footprint over the whole of Africa. I think the visual evidence that supports the fact that he's actually mad though, is that he's made it the only thing on the page and hasn't tried to soften the message with a joke like a lot of political cartoonists do.
5.) I actually think visually this is perfect. It gets the message across in a concise, serious, no nonsense kind of manner, and I think this is exactly how the illustrator feels about this issue so I don't actually think that changing any thing would help it.
