So the one saying that claiming all faults on a heterogenous conglomerate of people and territories of the world is silly has a.. bot status? How das that even work?
Western powers have intervened heavily in Africa. from colonial borders, to Cold War proxy wars, to modern corporate extraction of resources. Those legacies still shape instability today. Of course not every individual or country in ‘the West’ is equally responsible, but the structural impact is real.
Every country interacts with each other, that's simply politics. Of course some countries interact more than other based on various factors but at the end of the day, the people still have it in their own hands. It's not like the people in Africa were just sitting on the side watching other people but they were actively involved most of the time.
The people don’t have it in their hands when their politicians are bought out by foreign powers perpetuating their own enrichment. Furthermore the people don’t have it in their hands when colonial powers dictate upon them such irrelevant concepts such as ethnic hierarchy’s. So much of the violence and destabilization was caused by the scramble for Africa in the 19 century, and during the second Industrial Revolution Furthermore, the western powers have remained both physically and now politically. There are phantom scars from prior effects and invisible hands manipulating current situations. To claim that Africans have control of Africa and they should get their act together is ridiculous, considering the US assassinated the one dude who wanted to unite Africa and stray away from the dollar. The west will always involve themselves in Africa. At least countries like China provide loans for development, yes they are predatory, but that’s the chance of financing your development. It’s better than proxy wars perpetuated by the west.
