  • Finally, I can comment on African based news, &, what seriously needs to happen. Combine countries, all African Nations should have a coastline, & an interior. Use the United States as a template, what are now countries, will be a named state to a bigger country, the more countries that consolidate, the more resources combine. Some of our States are bigger than many countries, & they are still only one of 50 territories, each governed separately, & each State is different, some are not to dissimilar, & some are very different. Arizona is a desert, but, because of the "All For One, One For All", the Colorado River makes Arizona liveable, this ultimately decides the fate of Africa. Do you know what The United States government fears, a United People, a United People win World Wars, & force change. If all those useless poor countries want a better way, it won't happen alone, Niger is big, yet has no big body of water, if Niger were a state with coastal states in a country, I know I am understood. This kidnapping foolishness MUST stop, it seems the only way they will stop is Death Penalty, unfortunately as a whole, we are petty, small-minded, self centered, jealous, lack empathy, & violent, there are a lot of Africans that need to be executed, all these military gangs can no longer exist, with combined military, you absolutely MUST wipe out these factions completely, the American Civil War got rid of a lot of bad seeds. Politics & Religion are not worth killing for, ever. Gay people have existed as long as mankind, doesn't matter what laws are written, besides that, they tend to be the most fair-minded & obedient citizens, & for crying out loud, it's been happening for as long as mankind has existed, & who cares not everyone needs to have babies, Africa cannot feed itself as it is
