"Follow the money."
Sounds about right. The french support the islamists and get to keep their cocoa at the same time. Although my heart breaks for Africa there is no way I can see the US saving it from islam.
I say this as one who has lived there and continues to have friendships with Africans here in the U.S.
Did you know that until the recent troubles in Zimbabwe, that it was No. 5 on the missionary-sending nations list (mostly to surounding countries) ?
I have Liberian friends here in the US who are determined to evangelize their African neighbors, even in Muslim Mali.
Did you notice the Christian poster and the Bibles in the video ?
While others on this thread know the woes of Africa, I know the strengths, and that is the people, what they have been through, and the Faith that has developed as a result.
African Christians are experiencing what the Early Church experienced.
They will surprise us.
