african will be united

Typical "reprting" from the western media. LYING by OMMISSION. Ommitting the fact that the mineral wealth of the Central African Republic are being fleeced by FRENCH CORPORATIONS, which is the cause of the insurrection. Ommitting the fact that the central african "republic", is not a republic at all, but essentially a FRENCH COLONY because french compamnies own and controll ALL the commodities UNDER THE GROUND and export them for profit all around the planet while the africans get nothing

@carrier5555 that is a really really ignorant statement

Give every African a weapon so they can defend their selves, their property and their families, then leave the rest to self justice.

@dancesonpoles I would have to refer you to an expert who has actually been in the Belly Of The Beast. John Perkins wrote how geopolitics and global finance work together in his book, "Confessions of an Economic Hit Man."

The European powers occupied and colonized Africa back in the 18th and 19th centuries. WW1 and WW2 broke the treasuries of the European powers so, they had to abandon their colonial holdings. BUT, they set up puppet governments to rule in absentia for the old colonial powers

@InfiniteMushroom I don't get it. Break it down for this slow mind to understand please. Thank you.

[dancesonpoles]

@XtremeBreakDance You people are so in compassionate and apathetic is sickens me...The citizens are not animals. The rebels, yes. The citizens are trying so hard to just live a safe life. They can't build more advanced homes if no one is helping them and showing them how to.

[dancesonpoles]

@InfiniteMushroom Is it weird to be surprised that more advanced countries haven't attempted to just take over Africa and the land and resources in the way they did America with the Native Indians? Or am I missing something here. I'm not saying that's what I'd want to see, but I'm wondering why it hasn't happened like in the past with other less developed countries?

@XtremeBreakDance...and did I mention stationwagons? I know very well what a house looks like, I've always lived in one. Only difference is that the house I was raised in was built by honest means, such as the blood, sweat and tears of those who built it., no real-estate development on the expense of others was involved...speaking of google, why don't you type "poverty in the united states"?

Fuckwit...
