Therious & Militant
Nigeria by itself could bring stability and "relative" peace in both the Sudan and the Congo if they had the desire to do so. I say relative because there probably always be ethnic conflict, it's ingrained in the history of the land.
But too many Black people just don't want to have anything to do with eachother.
It amazes me how totally indifferent some of our people can be to their brother next door.
You talk to some Africans.....they don't even know what's going on in the nation right next to them; and really don't care.
You can talk to an Ethiopian who has no idea of what's going on in Kenya and seem totally unconcerned, he's only concerned about the issue HE'S pushing.
The same with a Senegalese or a Somali....or even a Jamaican or Panamanian.
It's just how we are.
"I don't care what's happening in Chicago, I only know about Phoenix and my little hood or what-not."
"I'm East Coast kid....don't know nothing about that West Coast."
We are only concerned about our own little world, always have been and that's why we're so divided.
So white folks can easily stick a spoon in every pot and keep things stirred up without our knowledge.
They get things going and step back KNOWING few people on either side will actually stop to verify the origins of the conflict.
