If Africa was still a colonial continent it could all be worked out. The colonial powers would not tolerate genocides as in Rwanda, Darfur, Central African Republic, etc, etc, in the nations they controlled by proxy. In my opinion Cote de Ivory is making a mistake in removing the French military presence. That is, unless they plan a little ethnic cleansing of their own, in which the French would interfere. If that is their aim, it makes sense.<\/p>\n<p>Africa is a continent of headmen. The strongest gangster or despot rules until replaced\/deposed. Even displaced Africans show tribal\/gang behavior in the US, UK, France and elsewhere. There are bright spots. Botswana, Morocco, Tunisia and a few others. But they are bright spots only in comparison to other African nations. The best adapting and hardest working Africans I have known are Nigerians. Those I have known emphasized work, education and morals to their children. We have a very few in my rural, mostly White county and all I have met were good people. Neither they nor their children have any sorts of criminal dealings and as far as I know, none of their children are delinquents or abuse drugs or alcohol. Those are what Africa needs, but they emigrated to the US to escape tough situations in their home nation. One family\u2019s kids work for the best family pizzeria in the County, which strange enough is owned by a Polish family.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>war pig Africa could do all the wonderful things the author says they can \u2013 IF Africans weren\u2019t in charge.
