Yes, but the heart of the violent Islamist organizations is in Mali.

I think Africa is thought to have a shite ton of natural resources (rare earth elements and shite) that we need. We are damn sure not just being nice!

I could be wrong but I believe China has loaned quite a few countries in Africa money. African countries will never be able to pay it back in full so China takes a piece of them. Pretty much extortion.

Which one makes the bad music?
Negeria is where all your relatives keep their money in banks and they will email you to collect your $5,000,000 inheritence as long as you send them a mere couple grand for their transaction fees and honesty.

Their tactics are quite comical and rudimentary.
I wonder if they ever sit back and think about the next 25 years and the food/water shortages coming which will affect them pretty severely without our assistance.

Yep I wouldn’t doubt if Russia is involved here.

One Winter I fed the local birds a bunch of their seeds. The next Spring thistle was everywhere. Turns out that I was duped by Big Thistle advertising.

So? They conquered three continents before the Americas were found.
Do people not understand that civilization began elsewhere? Not here?

Because then how would we incite a coup? Think.

I feel like Niger and Nigeria should be combined into one country. Call it Nigerville or Nigeropolis or something.
