Africa were about to experience the greatest indignity any nation can suffer: abandonment. They finally had what they and the US always wanted:
freedom, liberty, justice. Unfortunately, words on their own are not enough. Words do not tend the crops, raise revenue, put money in the economy or food on the table. But unperturbed by the obvious, the UN and US pushed on regardless only to find their grandiose scheme gradually fall apart.
The Africans in their ingratitude decided in the majority not to back the US grand design. Marxism looked a much better prospect than Capitalism.
Whereas the empire countries would have intervened quickly, and brought any rebellion or civil disobedience to an abrupt conclusion, the US hesitated. Frightened of public opinion back home, scared of black plastic body-bags returning to the US from small tribal conflicts, they decided to play the long game: they'd punish the Africans with sanctions, and halt any funding or investment.
If Africa wouldn't play the game, it was exclusively on its own.
However, it should be remembered that no politician likes to be seen as the cause of these problems, and so an element of contrition was offered. The Americans would wash their hands of the problem they created and let aid charities step into the breech. The great liberal invasion was under way. Africa would be smothered in love by a class riven society incapable of collective or individual thought. What the hell, their intentions were honourable and it suited the chattering classes around their opulent dinner tables.
Africa would be allowed to drowned in a middle class pursuit of conscience cleansing and
do-gooders who believe problems are resolved if you just believe hard enough and say enough prayers. Common sense allude them.
By the mid-sixties, charities like Oxfam, the International Red Cross, Christian Aid and a host of others too insignificant to mention had mobilised. With as many troops as any good Panzer division these people prepared to invade a continent they neither asked for their help, or wanted it. Not guns and bullets this time, but blankets and food, not tanks or armoured cars, but trucks and ambulances. And the irony was, they were about to commit genocide on a scale the Nazis could only d ream of.
The Nazis gassed six million Jews during the 1939 -1945 conflict, where as the liberal elite were about to resign a hund red times that many to the waste bin of human suffering. Their rampant approach wouldn't just slaughter those already alive, they'd also breed generation after generation for the cull.
To comprehend what I say, you need to understand how the analogy works, and so I'll briefly digress, create a scenario and showa hypothesis of what happens based on a logical model. Let's create an imaginary African city with say two million people. We'll call it Mardy.
In the centre of Africa is a small country, Mardy with its two million population is the capital. The ambient country side is made up mainly of inhospitable terrain, that has in the past sustained the population well. Food isn't abundant, but it is adequate. The population of Mardy compose one million women, all aged twenty, and one million men all aged twenty.
