Ya know, on the one hand, I can agree with that, its rough over there.
On the other hand, who made it that miserable?
This wound is pretty self inflicted. Regardless of what guilt and spite they think they can pass off on European colonial powers, the fact is, these hellholes were the creations of failed cultures too mired in tribalism to avoid collapse once free to make their own way in the world.
I'm sure there are apologists and bleeding hearts who will blame the West for this, but I don't recall voting for Robert Mugabe...
