People who take power become fat, the people they appoint become fat, the military leaders become fat. And the people? They just starve and stay skinny. They look at a fat person and they know he has power.

People who take power put family and tribal friends into trusted positions.

The big proplem with Africa was the European Countries just drew lines on a map. The lines created countries with a majority of one tribe and minorities of smaller tribes. A majority in one country can be a minority in another.

"We all be Black" don't cut it in Africa.
