You're serious?
Why do you think there's so much destabilization in Africa? I know it's not black and white and there are plenty of reasons, but if you attribute anything other than imperialism to the number one woe of Africa, you're dead wrong. I'm not trying to implicate just Europe, either. Today, the United States and China have equally disparaging interests in Africa. I won't deny it. For centuries, natural resources (including people) in Africa have been pillaged and taken to other countries. And look today, at a continent where over half of the autonomous territories host destabilized governments and crippled economies. You seriously think that Europe's invasion of Africa in the sixteenth century had nothing to do with this?
Europeans may not be the only people to have f ucked Africa, but they sure as hell were the first.
