| Joelcool7 said: Also in many African countries European countries were the only thing keeping them stable. The Europeans united the countries they were in control of. However when the Europeans left they became reluctant to intervene. Today Europe remains afraid of intervening in Africa, heck the UN doesn't even like sending troops they prefer the African Union handling African operations. |
I take issue with this paragraph. First of all which African countries did which European country unite and when we talk about intervention in Africa (North and Sub-Saharan), well there has been plenty of foreign intervention and meddling mostly from the West and it's very well documented. And the African Union should be handling African affairs not NATO (poinltess saying UN) which was apparently set up to counter the so called (now extinct) Soviet threat from Eastern Europe. Would you want the AU intervening in the former Yugoslavia? For example the AU has been trying to resolve the Libyan issue but NATO (read US, UK and France) won't allow it, they want to be in charge.
As for investment into Africa? The Chinese say Ni hao!
