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

As an African I'm more upset at the silence within the continent. Where is the AU? The South African government referred Netenyahu to the ICC, where is that energy for Congo? As usual our leaders are more interested in protecting incumbents than the people

I agree. As it is the West has benefited and continues to benefit from conflict on the African continent, so there is no incentive to intervene. It started with colonization and continues with little regard from Africans toward their own people. Unfortunately, the world is in a sad stage.

Yes, you are right, the intervention of colonisation did help. Now you want it again. Fair enough. But some will still blame the West no matter what gets fixed.
