I suppose the words "dark continent" mean a whole lot more than a populace with a dark skin. There was a post wishing for 200 more years of colonialism. I don't think it would take that long, perhaps one generation, maybe two, where the populace was educated, not by parents and propaganda, but by truth. Short of that miracle, it will take some earth shaking miracle to change the hearts of the people, and make them cringe and feel horrified at the site of blood, shed for political or tribal purposes.

Apparently Christianity, is able to engender the principle of Love thy neighbor, but it took centuries and a dark age to come to fruition, and in a heartbeat of disease, poverty, privation, tribalism, and trauma, we could find ourselves in a world just like Africa. Oh how dependent we are on the fragile system established by our forefathers, a system dependent on the rule of "law" and adherance to it.Without that principle and the willingness of the population to allow that rule, we would return to a time that our forefathers faced death merely to escape, and where would we escape?
