Yeah, but your arguments have been supportive of his statements.
Maybe small for Africa, but that's not exactly small compared to the rest of the world. Are you arguing that countries like Monaco shouldn't exist?
Lol, what? That's some Rhodesia level copium you're smoking there.....
First of all, in most cases the ethnic conflict is a direct result of European powers elevating certain ethnicities and utilizing them to keep their neighbors in line. Secondly you are ignoring all the systemic violence and outright genocide that Europeans used to keep "law and order".
I'm sure some people who live in Africa will disagree with this sentiment....
And yet, this is only a problem in parts of the world that were colonized by Europe after the 18th century.
This is the result of countries colluding together to strip territories away from their inhabitants via land marks on a map. The same thing happened in the Middle East after the collapse of the ottoman empire. It's not fucking rocket science my dude.
You want the world to be a certain way and pretend it is.
It just isn't so. Many many places around the world have issues with borders. If africa knew what's borders they should have they can go have them.
Wars have always existed in Africa.
Zimbabwe and South Africa are horrific failures. They aren't the only ones. The progress made in those countries was great for a time, then regressed
Lol, compared to you? I've at least given examples of historical context pertaining to the matter. All you've done is make racist false generalities.
You mean like they did before the Scramble for Africa?
You don't think that the whole apartheid and generations of being ruled over by a violent foreign minority has anything to do with that?
The historical revisionism people will undertake to validate their racism is always astounding.
