Jump To Comment: 1 2No one is going to stop it... africa has been ruined by the white man.
If nations start helping them, they will get more power, get together, and will have enough resources to get their own back...
nations are afraid of africa... so keeping their money and resources to themselves is what they are going to do...
what do you expect the irish gov to do anyway, send troops to stop it? thats suicide...
or let irish forces join an EU army and stop it... but that will just completely destoy what neutrality we have left.
Time and time again we hear the same refrain from well meaning humanitarians,
WE MUST DO SOMETHING.
This is just an updated version of the much older attitude, that Africa is the WHITE MAN'S BURDEN, which is why we had to do something in the 19th Century.
Every border within Africa is an artificial creation by European colonialists.
These borders, and the forced inclusion within them of many diverse and hostile ethnic groups, are the source of much conflict.
They were created by Europeans who thought they could run Africa better than the natives.
If African countries, their neighbours and their peoples, cannot sort out their own problems after almost 50 years of independence, then no amount of European interference, even by well meaning humanitarians, is going to improve the situations these countries face.
In fact it will probably increase the overall amount of suffering and death that results.
The best thing for Africa in the long term, is that it should be allowed to redraw it's own international frontiers; peacefully if possible, by war if necessary.
After all, most of the history of medieval Europe was one conflict after another over land and resources, until most Europeans settled into the current boundaries, based on the nation state.
Independence is the right to make ones own mistakes.
