whys that?

Honestly I'd have to write an essay to address all the things that were wrong with your post (IMO), but suffice it to say that I don't think being racist to assylum seekers and foreign nationals is an appropriate response to the issue being discussed.

Explain please??? If you disagree a more robust response would be much appreciated. Also if you're going to quote me it's kinda unfair to quote one sentence without the next sentence which qualifies what I meant.

Sub Saharan Africa is pretty fooked. We can debate the whys all day, but that bit's hardly debatable. Yes of course the west played and still plays a huge part in it, but we need to start calling a spade a spade and face up to the fact that it needs more than charity, ploughing money at the problem and wringing of hands. Other African leaders need to start getting involved. Take Mugabe. Utter scumbag, who with his cronies have turned what was once the breadbasket of Africa into a craphole so bad, there are regular food shortages. Yet his neighbours rarely if ever say or do a damn thing. The Chinese are moving in at the moment across the continent, economic imperialism pretty much. I can't see that going any better for the locals any time soon.

3. You're original response was that Africa is ****ed and we shouldn't let African's into the country, so it was you who brought race into it.

It would be so awesome if they did that and it worked but I can't see it really. I'd say the militia would just go around and take the guns to cause more mayhem. Interesting idea though.

It smacks of a shirking of personal responsibility. What you are saying basically amounts to this.. and not to belittle the issue whatsoever but I couldn't think of a better example..

Take a pub, and a group of guys. The publican together with a drinks company puts on a special offer which encourages a drinking binge. Three of the guys get pissed off their heads, publican keeps serving them, and eventually they start to beat another customer up for some reason.

You say, blame the drinks company for the violence first. If we stopped the drinks company supplying the drink to the drink, it would run out and the fighting would eventually stop as they sober up... and while we wait some of the customers are probably dead or seriously injured.

In reality they all had a part to play in causing it, but the best thing to do to save the customers from harm is send in the cops and stop the brawl immediately. Deal with the perpetrators. Then punish the publican, then the drinks company.

Just like in the DRC they all have a part to play, the companies making the money, the people running the state but most importantly the scum terrorising, murdering and raping the people. The history of the Congo is no excuse or provides no immunity for warlords to run free. They need to get their own house in order, it's clear that they are unable to do that.

A lot of countries have been exploited. It's not a get-out-of-jail-free card.

Ever heard of the word corruption?

If they can't restore some sort of balance to these remote towns then there should be an outside intervention. No one wants anything to do with dr congo, its a mess.

Of course I've heard of corruption. It's a crime which should be punishable by law. What else do you do with it? Accept it? Blame it on something done by others some time in the past? Rule of law is the foundation of any nation state: they have the laws, now they need to enforce them. I don't (yet) have an opinion on who should do it.

Even if past crimes are to blame, assigning blame alone doesn't change anything. Nothing will happen until they get over the past, as South Africa has done with more success than was hoped for. The rule of law is a simple concept: I know what I'm saying is simple, but that doesn't mean it's simplistic

But I never said it was a country,I said congo was.
The amount of Africans that are educated is minuscule and a disgrace.I'm sure you'd agree.

To be fair the West is trying to improve the Human rights situation in most African countries but their progress is being slowed down by the Chinese. The African countries could survive without Western aid and investment simply due to the high level of investment and aid they receive from China. China is willing to plow money into African countries with no requirement of African leaders to improve human rights abuses. The Chinese only care about exploiting the natural resources, they do not care about the people who are suffering. The West can not withdraw because if they were to every single African country would severely regress and all semblance of democracy would fall away to lead to countless dictatorships and civil wars. The only hope for democratic African nations is for the West to continue its involvement within Africa.
