INFINITY AND A DAY

Man, I love these deep dives. More evidence that Africa, as a collection of independent nations, is perhaps the biggest lie since santa. I'm starting to believe we're not really made up of nations in the strict sense, but rather giant corporations with an invisible boards of directors, where the president is more like a CEO. Even the most 'grassroots'-looking opposition is just a chess piece in a carefully orchestrated sequence of events. But I'd argue that it's not just Western interests moving pieces on this chess board. Increasingly, some African presidents are also trying to gain control over other African countries, not necessarily in their capacity as presidents, but as individual/ family interests. And with all this evidence, there'll still be some fool saying, 'Africans are too stupid, lazy or ill-equipped to build nations.' Are you seeing what we're up against?
