Far be it from me to point out that Africzan people have never had the option of choosing their governments, their borders, the allocation of their resources, or their affiliations (tribe, nation, etc) and allies. Let alone their priorities.

Oh, there have been some sham elections, and some accidents of birth. But the story has been conquest and exploitation from abroad, colonial, corporate, and most damnably, religious, since at least the time of the Romans, and especially the 19th and 20th centuries to the present.

So, who shall tell the Muslims, Catholics, Baptists and Episcopalians, the oil, gold and diamond companies, the agribusiness, the Chinese, Indian and Anglo-descendants to get out?

Well, perhaps the native-born could stay, if they renounce their ancestral ties...

And as for having this would-be corporate fascist sort it all out, I think that's the last thing Africa needs.
