To the surprise of absolutely no African nor anyone who knows anything at all about the Dark Continent, this happened in the Congo — a.k.a. the Balkans of Africa:
Hundreds of women were raped and then burnt alive after Rwandan-backed rebels sparked chaos by storming into the Congolese city of Goma, it has emerged.
The atrocity took place during a mass jail break from the Munzenze jail last week, as M23 fighters clashed with the Congolese army during deadly gun battles.
According to the UN, female inmates were butchered in their wing in the notoriously overcrowded prison after men forced their way in and went on a rampage.
In this latest round of inter-tribal warfare, I understand that many UN peacekeeping troops were also killed. Now as much as I detest the United Nations as an organization, it seems to me that the UN should, finally, admit defeat when it comes to les affaires d’Afrique, and get the hell out of the way so that these assholes can carry on slaughtering each other until the last one standing kills himself.
Letting Africa sink, to coin a phrase.
Needless to say, it’s absolutely no place for the U.S. to get involved, whether financially or (gawd forbid) militarily.
That whole continent has always been a huge money sink and anyone that gets involved with it is either a nitwit or a shiester.
Everytime I think of the state of Africa, I think of this movie quote – In the 2003 movie Tears of the Sun, Navy SEAL Lieutenant A.K. Waters (Bruce Willis) says, “God already left Africa”. He says this in response to a Catholic missionary in Nigeria telling him to “go with God”.
“Let Africa sink.”
Didn’t you say that several years ago?
Why, I believe I did.
The Dark Continent, where the Sun never shines and the Devil rules.
Animals in their natural habitat.
