Why is Africa such a sh!thole? All my life there has never been anytime Africa wasn’t a mess.
Communism went in there and filled the vacuum after those terrible “colonialists” departed. Not widely reported. The ANC are of course communists (just an arm of the South African Communist Party, which spawned Mandela); and Mugabe is one of the most infamous communists. The Congo’s overrun with Chinese communists, BTW. Sad when the third world aspires to be the second world after having prolonged contact with the first world.
