Most of the troubles in Africa are down to the fact they are not countries
in the sense "Westerners" use the term. They are artificial borders drawn by
colonial powers which cross traditional tribal and ethnic boundaries. To
expect people to settle with this is (IMHO of course) nonsense and the
warfare is almost understandable.

I don't think that any of the central African nations are hold overs from
Cold War proxy conflicts, it goes back further than that.

Yeah, I suspect that is a popular myth.

You are a funny guy. I have realised you are a Left Wing plant to try and
discredit the Right Wingers in this thread. Well done.
