george w. bush visited nigeria in 2003. I’m sure it’s his fault.
I think he wrote their by-laws for them and got them their 501c3 status.
It seems that no one pays attention to Africa, except when it comes to Egypt and Libya recently. Egypt is right on the border of Israel, and Libya (as was said here at FR multiple times by several people in the past) is a major provider of oil to France and Germany and other Western European countries. That may be why we went in...
Neither Bill Clinton, George Bush and Obama, too, paid much attention to sub-Saharan Africa, despite the massive atrocities in Rwanda, Sudan, Somalia and elsewhere...
Surely you jest, but we’ve been long meddling in Africa, just as we’ve been meddling in the Middle East for decades, and the normal outcome is endless headaches and a bunch of guys we don’t like in power.
