De-colonization in Africa was such a good idea, ay. Ending the evils of Rhodesia and apartheid South Africa worked a real treat. We sure showed ‘em how it’s done. And all that famine relief in Ethiopia and Somalia: we Live Aided ‘em good...

I think we in the West ought to leave Africa alone for a while: post-WW-II our judgment in what is best for that continent seems questionable at best: dodgy at least.

One thing that doesn’t help is their strong voice in the UN: that should cease immediately.

De-colonialisation was their idea, not ours. It worked ok in Singapore and Hong Kong and Malaysia.

If Africa is screwed up, ok the west has to shoulder some of the blame, but the main problem lies with Africans themselves.
