And Africa is a big continent isn't it? So if you come from Cairo, will you say "I am from Africa"....and that's funny...you say business, other people think it otherwise. I'm sure the Europeans merely thought they were doing business as they looked for raw materials around the globe. You are Chinese-washed.

Wow...I thought you Kenyans were patriotic. Guess not. I was merely trying to imply that if there ever was a center of Africa, it would be Kenya. Well I guess we all know the capital is in South Africa, or North Africa.

Riiight. I find it funny you don't know much about the world. I find it funny you root for China, as if they are a bunch of angels, telling the "western society" to f*ck off. I find it hilarious you do not realize China is doing to Africa, what the West did to Africa during the last two centuries.
