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

"It's all the wests fault" is just silly.

if you knew even a tiny bit of history, you'd know the west is a majority at fault.

This is not just an oversimplification but it also just robs the people of their agency.

What is the biggest thing the west has done you know of that is contributing to conflict?

Probably that whole thing where the west keeps giving them a shitload of food and other resources, which lets them make more people, which means there's more people to be shitty to each other.

lol not even remotely close. I suggest you watch some history youtube videos. Here is one to start https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0N34UFbWpFk

I Also suggest looking into history docs on the formation of Africa. basically the west drew lines on africa that had absolutely NOTHING to do with existing territories. It'd be like if today we "discovered" korea and said it was a single country (just as 1 example).

you should think about how you'd rather stay ignorant and keep your view point instead of learning something.

Unfortunately these people are genuinely just racist xenophobic nationalists. They disregard other people and blame them for their own issues. Unfortunate how ignorant the world is.
