Another lie. Most of Africa's problems are not the result of western interventionism, they are a result of tribalism. Europe went through the same wars between nations / racial sub-classes, etc hundreds of years ago, and Africa is still going through them today. Trying to blame that on Europeans is a ridiculous claim.
