Just curious as to why people bring the lack of oil into the picture when people comment on the continuing violence in Africa.
I understand the argument that more is not being done to stop it because of a precieved lack of personal gain, the control of oil etc, but can anyone suggest a logical explaination for the continued genocide that has been going on for so long? Who is gaining what?
I read a long time ago that when the US abandoned one of it's modern embassies somewhere in war torn Africa, the insurgents that occupied the facility dismantaled it to the point where they even disconnected and sold the well pumps that supplied the drinking and bathing water to the building they took over and eventualey ruined. How do these people build an economy and feed themselves when they choose to sell their water supply?
You hear about the lack of food but not about the lack of killing.
Maybe if they valued water more then weapons they could grow more food. Let's hope they get it right.

I don't know why they are fighting, but I do know that is America's fault because I heard some dipshit on the BBC say so.

They are fighting over power and control, with hatred and bigotry coming in second. A lack of education and literacy leads to the situation you describe.

They are fighting over a bs religion. The world needs to come together and destroy the true evil in this world, religion. If we had no religion in the world, people could get along.

Ethnic cleansing I'm sure too many people inhabit this planet. We give money to help but it goes into the pockets of the leaders not to the people.

They are fighting for the same reason we are, to vanquish the evil doers of a foreign God.
