From the trading in African bodies to diamonds, gold and Uranium or precious metals like Coltan we use for our cell phones, Africa has always been the laboratory and receptacle for European exploitation and wealth generation. Yet when you hear wars, famine and Ebola and the way they are framed in the media, you just see Africa as this constant liability of Western magnanimity. Really, Africa is being pillaged for our creature comforts. The argument that we need to blame African leaders for that holds so far as we can start checking why Patrice Lumumba or the Older Kabila (for selling Uranium to N Korea) or Thomas Sankara were neutralized. Congo wont be left alone, for the same reason thousands died in Sierra Leone and Liberia w/o even seeing or knowing what a diamond is. S@%t is way complicated!
