Two sundays ago, there was a rally for Darfur/Africa in my suburb. For the love of live music, excited townsfolk and the cheap thrill of being part of a rally, I participated for an entire block before realizing the pointlessness of the whole exercise. It just happened that the person walking next to me, carrying a sign for peace in Congo had no idea what the capital of the same is. About 28 countries in Africa have engaged in some form of civil war in the last two decades, but not much is ever reported in our mainstream media. A lot of us have even heard about Darfur, but almost none of us have ever heard of the real reason for the conflict or the fallout of that extended war. The European colonization of the continent over the years, and the subsequent exploitation is of course to blame. But I am no expert on this, there is however this excellent objective article about the history and the events that have led to the demise of a once rich land. While I have a pretty strong opinion about the african conflicts, for the sake of being politically neutral, I will refrain from elucidating them. But my opinion nonetheless can be summarized in one line, “take matters into your own hands, revolt against oppression”.
