while the rest of Africa is fighting over Ethnic power, the North doesnt have that..

The Africans need to get over their Ethnic problems and act as united front to develope their countries, and i agree with shady, the African continent will act much better if it was devided into bigger nations of aroun 8 to 10 states, the smaller ethnic groups will simply fail to fight the rest of the minorities... if a country is created of several minorities, it is harder for them to persecute each others, since the law should include all minorities...

Yes, they were exploited by "the white man" at various points... but now they are being exploited by their fellow black men instead.

Europeans should not get the blame any more. They dump huge amounts of cash into the place for little return.
