> Africa on the other hand is a few dozen sovereign countries, without a common culture or language between them.They are constantly at war with each other and within each other. I am on the ground in West Africa right now. I have been to 15 countries from Morocco to Gabon in 12 months, and will visit another ~22 in the next 12-18 months. Your statement makes it clear you have absolutely no idea what you are talking about. Maybe what you said was correct in 1980, but things are changing faster than you can imagine. There are 54 countries (not a few dozen), over 1.2 billion people in "Africa". Your statement about war is so far from the truth it's laughable and absurd. If you get your information from CNN and Fox, you need to stop. It is not giving you an accurate picture of how the world functions
