The statistics will always look bad because the poor tend to breed like rabbits whilst the rich have more pressing things to deal with so you get more poor kids.
Yes but they would probably have been better left to their own devices. Empire just as likely to prolong and/or exacerbate existing conflicts. Certainly did nothing to resolve them.
Black Lives Matter.
Boxed set? (no pun intended)
And as if by magic, the BBC news, right now....
It is racist really because to be correct it should read all lives mater .
I did pass on that suggestion that as woodworkers we should have made memorabilia in the form of a coffin on a stone plaque complete with flag for £50, we could have got a nice little cottage industry going.
Don't count your chickens to soon, in all probability this will all be repeated again within the next ten years for Charly, he has had 70 years of doing his own thing and now is expected to have the life of a monarch so a lot of stress and travel with some over indulgence.
sadly all to often repeated. All across Africa and elsewhere. Once the Colonial power withdraws the locals resume where they left off when we arrived, all to often the result is brutal tribal warfare an or genocide.
Whoooosh
Exactly. Or "black lives also matter"
Not possible. Generations have passed and their lives overturned. They "resumed" from the position they were left in by the colonialists who had made no provision for the change and often had treated the locals like slaves.
Or "Black Lives Matter" and so do everyone else's..
A point someone made the other day - why were there three regiments of the King's African Rifles? Because they'd have been killing each other if not others.
Jacob if you regard the excesses of the likes of Mugabe, Bokassa, Amin, Pol Pot etc to be the responsibility of the departed colonial power then you really need to explain how you come to that rather bizarre conclusion. To take just one example, Zimbabwe. Under colonial rule one of the most prosperous countries in Africa. Able to grow sufficient food to feed her own people, and with significant excess exported all over the world, including to her less prosperous neighbours. Under Mugabe it became one of Africas poorest countries, mass starvation, much of the infrastructure destroyed. Generally a shambles. Generally down to massive corruption and incompetence by Mugabe and his cronies, once of course they had largely eliminated any meaningful opposition to their regime.
