Exactly. I never understood how France, Belgium etc tend to get a pass for their colossal failure in West/Central Africa and the Caribbean.
The impact of their fukked up colonial and post-colonial policies have repeatedly derailed any type of progress countries like the Congo and Haiti

Out of all Europeans they were the most consistently brutal as far as I'm concerned. Germans and Italians got in the game too late to test the limits of their savagery although they came strong with it, but the French speakers were fukkin sick. Belgians in particular get all my contempt, I truly hate King Leopold and anyone that love him. The later acts of intervention by the Belgians(and Americans) especially regarding Patrice Lumumba was even more sickening. al Jazeera had some good programs on French involvement in Africa, fukk them. :pacspit:

The more I've thought about it breh, the more I've felt like stability in East Africa can only happen through some kind of federal union as a regional nation. I know that's way easier said than done, but the endless splintering and gripes over borders, humanitarian crises, refugee issues, rights of ethnicities/religion, and general disorganization and lack of control makes things less viable and federating as one nation under common goals may do wonders. The region could be one of the richest in the world given the resources and location but its still the issue of retaining the rights of the individual territories, redrawing borderlines, etc etc. That combined diaspora would bring a mind blowing level of investment and expertise to the table too. But like I said, this is all WAY easier said than done.

It's really fukked up tho, cuz imo the world won't be peaceful without some real equality and an evolution from the exploitative nature of our current economic model of choice. C.A.R. might be different though, all them French speaking European nations are crooked as fukk and the uranium and other resources in that country make me think they may not much mind the chaos since it means they can do to C.A.R. what's been done in Congo.
Everything you've said is what SHOULD be done with Africa, but with nations fighting over resources already whose willing to fight for equality bringing power to nation outside them self.

Now look for your state. Your entire state/province holds one single tribe.

To me its the only real solution, especially if its done honestly. Gotta end them border disputes and ethnic violence. It's crazy how we're remembering what happened in Rwanda and it's major crises going on in C.A.R. and South Sudan as we speak smfh.

I like to step back and look at EVERYTHING as one big ass portrait.

Friend of mine had this convo on how farce the world is, how much of an illusion our society is...

Most people don't rebel unless they become uncomfortable, nations want to enrich themselves and will only continue to steal from Africa the way I see it...

Something very dramatic would have to take place for there to be Revolution..

I feel the same way. I jokingly call our society the matrix cuz we're programmed to believe in that illusion you speak of. It's like underneath the thin sheet of normalcy is an endless clusterfukk that people are either reluctant or powerless to fix.

Both written like Nigerian women masking under Rwandan nationality to avoid criticism. Second link, the last line is very interest, doesn't sound like something a Rwandan would say. :usure:

Many Nigerians have been focusing on Rwanda as of late, mainly because our economy is booming and our crime rate is the lowest in Africa. I welcome our brothers, although before they come someone should tell them bleaching is illegal. :troll:

Na. There's no reason to talk about Nigeria's conflict. It sounds like a Nigerian author using Rwandan story to warn her own people. The story may be something she heard from another, but the author is not Rwandan. There's certain things said that sound like third person rather than first person.
