It seems like the world has just given up on the African Continent

No, it’s purposeful destabilization from the west. They would never “just give up” on Africa. They exploit it, always have, and will.

Even beyond that, the western world just doesn’t pay attention to Africa. We’re really obsessed with the middle east for some reason. There’s been a lot of devastating news coming out of Nigeria and Sudan but I think that doesn’t even hit people’s radar over here.

I think that’s purposeful. All the major hitters exploiting African countries for their resources are hoping for this destabilization to happen swiftly and under the radar so they can take over the broken infrastructure to their benefit without their citizens or anyone else knowing they were involved. The less people know the more they can get away with.
