Africa has, for the most part, houses some young political structures. I had first used "democracies" instead of "political structures", but realized that for the most part, i would have been portraying a false reality. War, is never a good thing, Fact! BUT...., what South African, Zimbabwean, or any corrupt African government has done, is to declare economical, social, or even political war on their own people. Those might not grab headlines for lives lost, but, lives are being lost daily. Hunger, poverty, displacement from homes, ..etc, Just because there is no exchange of bullets, does not mean the war is not raging. A a matter of fact, i think that type of "new" war is more brutal - you die slowly and painfully - on an empty stomach. The war is here already, and you are losing because you don't know you should be fighting it already.
