Reading OoE's recent comments in the "Useless UN" thread got me thinking of this again.
Africa - WTF?
Can anything be done? Should anything be done? Money doesn't work. As OoE points out, constant flipping in by non-African powers to clean up messes, while effective in the short term, aren't really a long-term solution.
I used to think that the best thing would be for Egypt to move South and South Africa to move North until they met in the middle, and then form a large confederation or union of African states.
Now I don't even think Egypt or S.A. are much above the basket case stage themselves.
So what do people think?
