Someone mentioned South Africa. I'm one-quarter white SA; my grandmother lived in Jo'burg and married my Grandfather, a British soldier at the end of the Anglo Boer War. I've visited there on at least half a dozen occasions and have concluded that Blacks cannot rule a developed country like SA or Rhodesia (once the breadbasket of the African continent), another former Southern African nation I've visited, and I'm familiar with. The late Robert MUGABE will illustrate sufficiently, that fact.

Under Apartheid, many elements of the white minority community (predominantly the Boers) were hard-liners against the majority of black tribes and nations within SA, but the rule of law prevailed as did the whole of SA infrastructure. I do not support Apartheid, but it did work and at least the country was at peace and many blacks had jobs and a future.

On my second-last visit to see my great Aunt before she passed, her long-serving personal maid a Mashi woman said she and many of her family & friends wished that the Apartheid era would return so they could go about the streets and shop in safety and not fear being carjacked and murdered. Most private homes are like fortresses with high fences, guard dogs and a roaming armed security service. The police in SA are hopelessly corrupt, and their black superiors suppress the few decent white detectives in middle management. In my humble opinion, most of SA troubles stem from the corrupt decisions that flow from the Black Government in Pretoria.

Most SA Blacks come from proud (African) tribal lineages and are of the warrior class.
And all lives do matter.

Things will work out OK, we won’t send troops we’ll send food aid; pity that so much of South Africa’s once great farm land is no long producing food; strange that.

Tribal warfare is not just an African thing.

It is the history of Europe, just the tribes are bigger. It took a couple of thousand years for it to stop, if it really has in Europe, why should it take less time in Africa.

Yes it was depressed & controlled while the white man was in control, just as it was in New guinea & the Solomans. It is reemerging now with white justice diminishing. One of the things that help in the islands is geography. The geography makes it difficult for many of the tribes to get at each other, in any numbers.

The history of Aboriginal Australia is one of constant warfare, kept to small skirmishes due to their lifestyle being incapable of supporting large groups. It is probably only suppressed today by white justice imposed

Funny the differing views of history Hasbeen.

South Africa has squandered any advantages it had before the European white apartheid was abolished by the early BLM global attack against it.

Do you realise what you actually said above?

Viz #... Yes it was depressed & controlled while the white man was in control,...#

That is such a dumb uneducated statement, obviously you have no concept!
The sad state of South Africa now, is the example of the total damage caused by liberal left wing meddlers, and their fanatical bleating over BLM.

What the white rule achieved was not depression, but wealth and progress.
Back in the late 60’s, it had its own nuclear development programme supported by Israel and France. It was at the final stages of nuclear arming itself, and was in the process of building nuclear power generation, using its own uranium fuel.

So it had friends in the right places.

What friends has it now?

Now the other misconception you present as fact is human progress.
You missed the point that civilisation moved “out” of Africa into Europe.

While a European civilisation moved forward with technology with tenacity and hard work, what was left in Africa were the backward equivalence of our Australian aboriginal tribes, stuck in a time warp. At the least, our Aboriginal tribes did the same walk out of Africa as did the successful tribes of Europe, but alas, only to stagnate for thousands of years in a similar condition.

Josephus.
Great utube contribution. BLM is firmly under the jack boot of the rainbow flag.

No cynicism at all, only honesty!

When Apartheid moved out, BLM moved in and raised the victory rainbow flag.
It didn’t work out too well though did it!

Thanks to the other contributors above.

There is an excellent film entitled “Adio Africa” made in, iirc, the 1960s, shewing various parts of Africa, it’s rather gruesome in parts but they end up in RSA and there is peace and prosperity.
