“Last time I checked no African nations engaged in a war that literally turned most of the continent into ashes “
Then you haven’t checked. They certainly kill each other and are at constant war. Just because they are not smart enough to create larger weapons doesn’t mean they are not killing each other. The African continent is at a constant state of war, just like our inner cities.
Then you haven’t checked. They certainly kill each other and are at constant war.
Most “wars” in Africa are localized uprisings, and it is astonishingly rare for those conflicts to cross over international borders the past 40 years. The vast majority of the deaths the past few years were due to religious wars like the Islamic rebels in N. Nigeria, the Islamic attacks against Christian S. Sudan, uprising in DR Congo and the usual mess of Somalia.
WW2 in E. Europe alone still dwarfs the scale of any of those.
