Politics in the late night Bar
Is Darfur in Somalia or Sudan? Civil war you say,
so what’s new? Let me ask you this: “Have they
got refineries or oil wells that need to be guarded?
This is an African problem, endless wars, they are
only trying to sort themselves out; leave ’em alone.
The former colonies in Africa inherited a system not
theirs, the European ways will fail till it reaches
the level of zero (complete chaos) and Africa can
begin their system of governance suitable for them.
We may not like it, but it ain’t our business. Hasn’t
The president of South Africa said the Zimbabwe
problem is an African affair, so let them sort it out.
Let me ask you this: ”Has Zimbabwe oil refineries
or oil pipes that need protecting? No! Stop playing
the nice gay, but keep a warehouse full of blankets,
(nights are cold in Africa) and beans to donate if
asked, so keep your mouth shut, if they have no oil
a regime change is not needed.
