The Evil Within ~~~~~~ South Africa; A Ruined Republic

I personally watched the ruin of Southern Africa. Why is the world so indifferent to the plight of Africans? Why? In America the black race has been elevated to almost super-human status but no so in Africa itself. Africa is a mess. It’s been a mess for hundreds of years and it will continue to be a mess and you can see that for yourself by reviewing the facts in Rhodesia now Zimbabwe and South Africa. Start when Nelson Mandela was a prisoner on Robben Island off Cape Town. He was a bomber. 

Making for particularly distressing reading is Colonel Eeben Barlow’s attempt to use his men to intervene in Rwanda before the genocide. The shrewd and informed colonel knew very well what was coming and formulated a plan of action to thwart the genocide that would have cost, in money terms, roughly what America spends in a day in Afghanistan. The late Kofi Annan, later Secretary-General of the U.N. and Nobel Peace Prize winner, was scornfully dismissive of Barlow’s entreaties, while President Clinton let it be known that U.S. forces would not be riding to the rescue. The rest is history; approximately a million people were butchered, and the world watched with interest while a handful of former South African soldiers, who could have stopped it all, were banished to the sidelines.

Reading this book  Executive Outcomes: Against All Odds, reminds one of the evil and despicable hypocrisy that inculcates the world we live in. The reality is that almost nobody (despite much virtue signaling and endless, meaningless bromides about human rights) really gives a continental damn about Africa, but if they did they would learn from these recollections how it regularly offers rich pickings for criminals, and here I don’t mean to follow the bog-standard definition of criminality—I mean NGOs, the U.N., and its associate bodies, churches, corporates, charities, and organs of state from some of the most developed and civilized countries in the world. Barlow’s book throws a bright light on their antics on the Dark Continent, and it’s sickening.
