There are 1500 to 2000 languages in Africa. Having a few men in the brigade who know a little Swahili is not going to help much. http://www.nationsonline.org/oneworld/african_languages.htm

Moreover, there are more tribes than languages in Africa.

Then the article goes on to say, “But what’s going on in the continent, says Africa expert Richard Downie, cannot be addressed by just providing military training and equipment. There are underlying causes of unrest and extremism: poverty, lack of health care and education, and predatory governments.”

Too bad that their chosen “Africa expert” appears to be clueless about the underlying cause of tribalism. Tribalism says, “Our President for Life may be a lying, thieving dictator, but he is MY Tribe’s lying, thieving dictator!” (kinda like union bosses here in the USA).

That lying, thieving dictator runs the “predatory government” which manages the “poverty, lack of health care and education”.

Similar to the tribe to which our RINO, Democrat, media & academia elite belong, who try to ignore the Tea Party and all those fly-over country, redneck, little people.
