I’ve seen thousands of pictures brought back by missionaries who’ve lived over there for months at a time. Africa IS a dirty, disease ridden place. They live like they have for thousands of years and would have continued to live that way if not for the influence of Western civilization intervening. Many of the tribes people have cell phones but no shoes...lol

The Mali Empire (Capital: Timbuktu) was arguably the most civilized place on the planet circa 1300. Islam arrived shortly thereafter.

This is not at all true. Were they living the way they did thousands of years ago, the disease would not be nearly so prevalent.
