"Why do you keep posting this stuff? Nobody cares about Africa, anyway..."
...the truth is archived here on Free Republic, and I maintain that one
day, when things over there are too awful to be ignored any longer, those who have eyes to see will read the stories here, and be appalled at the silence. ...and the "war-veterans", most of whom were too young to serve. Chaos and anarchy reign in Zimbabwe There is no rule of law, only Mugabe's rule...Hyper-inflation, government chaos and a persecuted minority sounds too much like Germany prior to Hitler. Peace marches & organized demonstrations will only give the corrupt regime an identifiable target.

The problem is that neither the US nor Europe would be ruthless enough to be workable colonialists these days. The Chinese would be ruthless enough, but they wouldn't bother -- they would just exterminate the Africans and ship in their own people
I will bump this for later exploring and wouldn't mind being put on your Africa list.
I know. Some of us on the right predicted many of these things when Rhodesia and the old Union of South Africa transmogrified, and we were roundly hooted down. Where are those people now? Oddly silent.
Thanks- if things accelerate on schedule, the living may well envy the dead.
