Africa Left behind, the mind game of Europe

It has come to my mind to talk little bit about Africa. Africa this vas continent with more than fifty countries also called mother land by some group in our population has been going back to the stone age. Since the Berlin conference in the beginning of the 19th centry, Africa has seen the development of his workforce exterminated. Why I took the Berlin conference has a reference is because it is close to our generation and documentations are more authenticated than the triangle Trade. It is not that I deny slavery but I just don't wanna involve myself into this contreversal debate. Nevertheless We will get time to discuss about it in integrality. Back to Africa, The berlin conference brought about the division of Africa as we know it today, means countries. Before that Africa was divided in kingdoms, Empires ... The Berlin conference brought the Administrative division together with Colonisation. Meaning african kingdoms then now called countries were paying due to their colonial Europeen Master country. I just wanna point out that Asia and America ( North, central, Latin) never been involved in colonisation. Masters of Colonisation being France, Spain, Portugal , Great Britain, Italy, Germany... in short Europe on the other side of the Berlin Wall. You see Berlin comes back again. The City of Berlin is a very important in defining today's history. One will argue that the division was beneficial to Africa. I nor agree or disagree. The division brought about separation of tribe. There 's case cases where the frontier between countries will passe through cemetries means passing over someone tomb. In cases like this it will happen that the upper part of the dead body end up in one country while the lower part is in the part of land of the neighboring country. And this will be the beginning of a long war of land. After creating all this mess, now Europe has backed off Africa and now want USA to be involved in finding solutions to african problems. I am not talking about abandoning africa, I know that USA got into the europeen trap after world war II by invading african politics, for the so called fear of the communism. Communism never been a threat to USA instead to Europe. Africa never attacked Europe, Hitler did. Africa never attacked Russia, Hitler did. How come in order to prevent the spread of communism we have to invest in Africa's corrupted dictators? I never understood it. The dictators never profited USA in a bit. They placed all their money or the stolen from their countries in banks in swizerland, Monaco, Luxemburg... We know them. None of us ignore them. USA has to become conscience of what Europe has been trying to do. Europe calls upon USA for help whenever they are in trouble. But we needed the most they turned their back on us. Afghanistan was to be a joint effort to get rid off terrorist but it looks like and become more and more abvious that it is a USA affair. While we are NATO member i don think we should beg for help in this entreprise but that is exactly what we are doing. We talking most of the casualties in Afghanistan , im not talking of IRak. So I would like your comment on this
