    Definitely right but they lack political stability, a key asset in long term plans

      Right, and why are they lacking political stability?

        Because we destabilise them so they do not develop to powerful societies, that won’t do cheap labour for us anymore.

          Pretty much what France is doing with the old colonies

          I think it’s mostly natural resources, there is still a huge amount of natural resources in Africa exploited by western companies.

            In the mind of the coloniser, cheap labour is a natural resource, and both must be exploited fully

        I blame those evil hippoes. We think they just eat and chase people. They’ve been up to much worse for a very long time.
