I haven't been there myself. But from what I see, the continent is a basket case with no hope for progressing. And the most ****ed up parts of the continent are those that were colonised by the Belgians and the French -- a coincidence or what?????

It seems the peace promoting Belgians have a particularly bad reputation.I think the Cold War had tyrants propped up and enriched if I recall.Both sides wanting "influence".
