Since the 15th Century European exploration of West Africa till date, the sub-region has not known true peace and prosperity.
The Europeans looted (and are still looting!) our treasures, enslaved (and are still enslaving!) our people and committed (and are still committing!) several unprintable atrocities. Up till now, the golden throne of the King of the Ashantes in Ghana has not been returned.
Instead of Europe to show genuine repentance and be contented with the resources God has given them, they continue to invent newer ways to steal from Africa. It appears that, in spite of all their acclaimed wisdom and learning, this shameless Europe just can't find a way to prosper without stealing from Africa. They must steal our oil, our gold, our bauxite, our cocoa, our people and everything that can be stolen.
Certainly, God will someday deliver us from France, Germany, Norway, Finland, Britain, Switzerland, Italy, Netherlands and Belgium but we don't know when and how yet.
The main thrust of this article is, however, not on Europe but on China.

No, that was mostly Muslims doing the enslaving. Then black African tribal chiefs transported the slaves to the Slave Coast and sold them to the European slave traders.
The easiest way to learn what would happen if all countries left Africa is..........do it. I would guess that Africa would enslave their own people and kill anyone that disapproved of what they were doing.
Yup, Africa, you’ve done so well after you kicked those crackers out.
Tell Zimbabwe hello for me.
That may be, but on the other hand Muslims don’t fall for ‘look what you’ve done to me’ ploys for foreign aid.
The best line from this bit of nonsense
“...This wild Dragon has tasted and discovered that Africa is really sumptuous...”
well yeah its what its is
but China is taking that puppy over thats certain
They want Australia eventually, all that open, empty land. But they can occupy large swathes of Africa in the meantime, especially where there are lots of resources.
Just ask the residents of Tibet, what's left of them.
You gotta love the African sense of entitlement. They consider selling stuff to the West at market prices theft. What would they not consider theft? Selling stuff to us at whatever price they want us to pay? I look forward to Africans charging us whatever they want to charge. We'll just not include the continent in our supply chain.
