Quote: One needs to remember most of the continent did not operate independently of their colonial powers until the 1950's-1960's.so why should they cooperate with even the notion that they are in fact a "country"
Quote:These are still fledgling governments, especially those like Liberia and Sierra Leone which recently had civil wars. It's unfair to expect them to be fully developed at this point in time.which is why they fight against the current governments.... why is west africa divided?... other than too serve the needs of europe
Quote:Think of how the US was in 1830. Not to mention that most of these countries didn't choose their own borders and have to attempt to form a cohesive citizenship from very diverse groups of people, which is difficult to do.so why should they cohere to the nationalistic colonial government which you love so much?
Quote: Look at Rwanda... The Hutus and Tutsies should never have been lumped together, they've never gotten along, but in pre-colonial times they avoided each other for the most part, but some guy in Europe decided that was the perfect boundary for the country.you are insane the hutu an tutsi are made up races created by the germans in order to foment racial hatred they were divided by those who looked the most white...like you
Quote:Also, China is now one of the biggest investors in Africa, they're edging out the West.atleast they only focus on monetary gain and not on creating long lasting racial hatred amongst the people like the west does
Quote:This varies from country to country, but generally speaking... I think we're going to see a huge shattering of Africa, the formation of Southern Sudan being the beginning of this. It's going to get worse before it gets better.I like the south sudan being free from the racist middle eastern governmennt in the north maybe you and your husband like racist nationalist governments we all know for a fact you hate the left wing controlling african govenrments
