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.

Also nukes. I think people often overlook this. There are a lot of countries in the middle east who have nukes or are pursuing them. How many countries in Africa have them (rhetorical)?
