I was in Zimbabwe for a few months in 2000. Beautiful country, but you could see it coming. Since then it has been like a slow-motion train wreck. The White Zimbabweans, some of who’s families had been there for 150 years were in denial.
We escaped to South Africa, where we did extensive travel, and saw the same mentality. Even then South Africans were saying “We’re just 10 years behind them.” South Africa is now where Zimbabwe was in 2000. At least they don’t have Nukes anymore (I hope).
There is a ring of truth to the “white guilt” theory. The African culture is tribal. The Headman gets everything and doles it out to his favorites, starving his enemies. Democracy is an anathema to tribal cultures: witness the Middle East. This culture dominates Africa: Rwanda, Uganda, Cote de Ivore, Sudan, etc. Civilization can’t change it except through force. Force the West is unwilling to exert.
Write it off.
