The words "bling bling and bunga bunga" spring to mind................basically warlords / corrupt bastards taking the piss etc.Really? How so?
Have you seen the price of a Mercedes stretch limo these days? How can you expect them to give their people aid money when they have costs like that.I'm suspecting that the governments / bosses of these countries are corrupt bastards that siphon off cash to pay for bling bling and bunga bunga tbh. Sickening stuff, really pisses me off.

Fair enough, I still think if they were ruled directly by the europeans they would be benefitting from a massive amount of aid, development and investment right now as some of them have resources first world economies could trade for if only they were less prone to outbreaks of lawlessnessRather then write an essay one example would be the French who have intervene six times in there former colonies since the millennium and have troops stationed permanently in some.

"Unless you give us money this 12 year old girl will be married, as is the custom in their country."

Just principally I don't agree, but in reality yeah it was a mixed bag. It depended on where and when.Disagree. Obviously wasn’t all roses and crumpets but was on the whole a net positive.
