[@robdahobbit1418]

@@assertivekarma1909 The only way forward for any nation in the world is for politicians to secure the interests of their own people's over and above getting fat with wealth. The political landscape has become a career, every nation should have terms in place of no more than 4 years and all politicians must be rotated every 4 years meaning that no one person gets to stay in politics for longer than 4 years. Here in NZ politicians get financial benefits for life, such as discounted fuel, discounted travel etc while, police, firemen, and soldiers who serve overseas get a pat on the back and comment of 'Well done". Politicians all over the world are corrupt in one way or another and they are the cause of hardships. Yes I agree Africa needs to fix it's own problems, but to do that first you must remove the corrupt politicians and put in ones who will work to benefit the people and not themselves, then you need to form a united Africa that is all African nations moving beyond past tensions and uniting under the banner of peace and prosperity, then you have to value life, life in a lot of countries means nothing, when you have nothing life means nothing hence so much atrocities being committed around the world. This is what the western powers do not want for Africa politically. If Africa became a 'United States of Africa', it would be a powerful player in the world becoming an economic and possibly military superpower, this is why the west like France, U.S and the E.U will always interfere with politics in Africa because they do not want that. So it is not a matter of Africans blaming others because they are correct to do so, it is the west fault. And what outside assistance do you refer to? Infrastructure? Most of the videos I see most roads are still dirt? Why? Is there free health care available? Can they have a govt paid operation if needed? Or do they have to beg, borrow or steal money to pay for it? I wouldn't call it outside assistance but outside interference.

[@robdahobbit1418]

Africa should not forget that Gaddafi wanted a united Africa and was working toward it so they could move away from the U.S dollar, but the west did not want that and so instigated his down fall and proceeded to bomb Libya under the guise of protecting its citizens. This was not only France but NATO itself. The name NATO should be changed to NAMO ( North Atlantic Military Organization ), because it has become an organization bent on dominating the world under the pretext of protecting democracy. I agree Africa needs to take control of its interest and force companies to pay the true value of the resources it steals, oil, gas, and minerals. Once they do that and eliminate corrupt politicians then African peoples can truly prosper.

While France was busy stealing from its former colonies that it still treats like colonies, Portugal was doing bilateral deals with nations, as one should in the 21st century and post colonial era. So now if the French want Algerian gaz they can ask the Portuguese government if it minds extending the pipeline for a just fee! Of course that the French will have to pay up differently than if they paid it directly to Algeria, which is why they don’t want to come to us. But looking at the animosity the whole of Africa seems to have for them now, Macaroni might just have to come knocking. Or he can also freeze! 😃 It’s up to him. Maybe next time France will learn to make friends instead of slaves.

[@wardachrouaa7281]

As a European woman, I never understood how deep the colonial grievances were and still are. It was only after I became Muslima and married a Moroccon man, that I became concious of the real truth. My father in law is more than 90 years old and has experienced the colonial time. He met the French colonisers himself when he was a child, and he still remembers their brutality. If they suspected one person of showing hostility to the French soldiers, they would start shooting on everyone in the village. Once they took his dad apart. He was terrorised that he wouldn't see his dad again, without a reason. A soldier gave him a candy when he had to wait on the side of the road. He was so afraid that it was poisoned (in his mind it would suit them doing this) so he didn't accept it. His father was released again (apparently they only wanted some information), but it illustrates well how much the common people feared the French colonisers. They had the worst name, and still do. France, and all colonising countries, should finally admit how bad their history has been, and not try to lessen their bad behaviour by saying "yes, we killed some people, but we also brought civilisation, factories, trains..." Nobody sees getting a factory as a worthy compensation for the loss of loved ones but the sick minded. I am appalled by the way we learned history lessons at school and never got a grip on how ferocious we behaved in other countries. Never learned how the World Bank is - still today - expecting African countries to repay debts that European colonisers made in their countries. European countries send some missionary aid but they get back seven times more money than they spend. They still keep Africa poor and unable to progress. That's how they want it. Europe should be a beaken of civilisation, and the African countries should be poor and thanking Europe on their knees for all the tidbits they get. Africa is growing up. And Africa will tell another tale of history.
