The posters in this thread disgust me.
"AFRICA IS COMPLETELY SHIT ITS HISTORY IS SHIT WE SHOULD GIVE UP ON IT BECAUSE ITS TOO HARD AND A SHIT PLACE"
Maybe a different strategy in how to deal with places like Libya and Ivory Coast? Africa wasn't always a shit hole, go read a history book.
I think the point is that right now Africa is a shit hole.
Africa will remain a shithole not because its impossible to fix but because no one wants to put any real effort into fixing it because it will be a very LONG and very HARD job to do.

And there is little profit involved.
So it will never happen.
Well they must do something bad.
We could enslave them not vice versa so we must do something better.
Current shittyness is due to us meddeling in their crap.
Oil company's ruling the country's and weapon export supplying weapons to alreaddy unstable country's.
Africa is big continent and events like this are not rare. there is always some "freedom fighters" or "liberators of whoknowsland" who kill everyone that is not on their side.
Bloodshed that has been going for a long time and cannot be stopped by half-assed efforts done by UN and few other countries.
Yeah you can't just blanketly blame Western intervention for all this. Ethnic/tribal tensions have had people killing each other for thousands of years; the same as in other areas of the world (e.g., Afghanistan). While Western colonialism wouldn't have helped, no-one can pretend Africa would have been just perfect if left alone.

It's more likely than you think.
If Africa's countries could somehow operate peacefully and efficiently, they could become a great power.
[QUOTE=Lambeth;28962630]Uh slavery for one.[/QUOTE]
Africa has always been into slavery, Africans were the ones who rounded up other Africans and sold them as slaves to Europeans. Their Empires have always revolved around slavery too. To blame their fucked up unstable systems on 'the white man and his evil doings' is largely not the problem to why Africa is in a mess as it is right now.

That's only in Call of Duty.
I wonder if this will be on the news monday, probably not since its not Libya or a escaped snake..
I wish somebody goes robocop on the people responsible
Europe is entirely to blame for africa's problems.
Europe only brought Genocide, oppression, and exploitation to their colonies. I realize Europe isn't a country but most of Europe had claim in Africa.
America actually somewhat benefited Africa. The US created the country of Liberia, as a way to allow freed slaves to leave the US and live in their homeland.
As proof, their capital is named Monrovia after President Monroe who had a major part in the creation of Liberia.

This is untrue, it is mostly [I]western[/I] Europes fault.
[QUOTE=Mikedestruct;28959121]Where is Obama and the UN here, eh?
Why only Libya? The government is killing its people in a dozen countries across the Middle East and Africa, yet the world refuses to do anything.[/QUOTE]
Read the article, they're in there.
'Four U.N. peacekeepers were badly hurt in an attack by forces loyal to Gbagbo, the U.N. reported Saturday. They were on a humanitarian mission, escorting civilians, according to the U.N.
The U.N. condemned a "wave of targeted attacks" against its peacekeepers by Gbagbo loyalists. Throughout the crisis, the Gbagbo camp has accused the U.N. of genocide, illegal killings and partisanship.'

Eastern europe was too busy drinking vodka.
Much like the ancient Egyptian pharaos, the fuckers thought they could get away with having slaves build tombs for them over the course of hundreds of years!
Until one day when the pharao tried to go to the beach to swim or have a glass of wine, he noticed everything was turned to blood and air turned into insects!
NO ONE gets away with that.

No true slaves involved in Egyptian Pyramid building, mistranslation of the Old Testament, ect.
Can't we just like, jettison Africa?
Love how shit like this gets ignored by the "goodie brigade"
These mass genocides never seem to stray away from Africa.

Stray.
But this is just messed up.

You mean the UN? Turns out they are already there.
If you meant someone else then I apologize.
[QUOTE=Otsegolation;28962196]Which Egyptians? The ones who originally built the pyramids of Giza that were eventually nuked, or the people who settled there way after the original civilization was destroyed?[/QUOTE]
The ones who actually existed.
[QUOTE=JustExtreme;28971819]Love how shit like this gets ignored by the "goodie brigade"[/QUOTE]
Please explain what you mean with the "goodie brigade". If you mean the UN, they already have around 8.000 troops stationed there.
[QUOTE=Lizard Of Guilt;28969811]Eastern europe was too busy drinking vodka.[/QUOTE]
Basically, yes.
[QUOTE=Lambeth;28960623]Africa is fucked up mostly because of american and european exploitation.[/QUOTE]
Can't sit in your underwear playing in the sand and hope for change.

Just like the U.N. had hundreds of peacekeepers in Rwanda but you didn't see them stop the 800k people massacred.
