No man wants to be ruled, but in Africa's case everyone might just be better off.
What has happened over the last 100 years or so since Africa has taken itself back?
Deforestation, strip mining, genocide, race wars, aids, desertification, wars, animals becoming endangered, etc.
Countries have given trillions in aid for what? corruption, and not much change. Enough is enough1

You know, the argument you're making was what they used to justify colonization in the first place...

Bet with pezus: If the Wii U has over 150% of the Vita userbase when the next CoD Launches, and has a synchronized launch, then it will outsell the lifetime sales of BLOPS:Declassified for Vita. 3 Months of sig control is at stake.

I'm of the opinion that it takes several generations of living in a well structured nearly-free state for a country to be ready to self govern with a true democratic state. While this did occur on its own in several European states, human history indicates that it is not a natural/stable form of state ...
Personally, my fear with re-colonization is that most wester democracies have taken sever steps back over the past 60 years and we're not as free as we once were. With the greater power our government has it is far more likely that colonization will result in western governments grabbing more powerful and becomming like third world dictatorships.

To help Africa we need to cancel its debt. A couple billion in aid every now and then isn't worth shit if it's only a tiny fraction of the debt African countries are repaying the west.
At least that's one of the first steps.
Bet with Turkish 1 month sig control: He wins if Playstation All Stars: BR sells more than 5m, I win if it doesn't. I won.
Bet with Conegamer for 1 month sig control: He wins if Orbis/Durango have 3GB of RAM or less, I win if both have more than 3GB. I won.
Bet with man-bear-pig for 1 month avatar control: He wins if Vita sells less than 6.5M in 2013, I win if it sells more.
Bet with MARCUSDJACKSON for 1 month sig control: I win if there is an official price cut for Vita before E3 2013. He wins if there is a price cut at E3. If there is no pricecut until after E3 we both lose.
