About this ebook

Whatever America is doing today to help nations around the world would remain ineffective until the West as a whole stops pillaging African talents and African wealth and discontinues destroying African politics, African peace, African security, African unity, and life in the whole developing world. Today, as ever, the assistance given to African nations among others is the art to keep civilizations quiet at the faces of provocative massive economic and political abuses. Good thing, exploitations normally are difficult to decipher because they are usually subtle, emotional, and at times even philanthropic in nature. They appeal to the mind very easily and soothe strained nerves. The West uses the divide-and rule or divide-and-conquer or divide-and-strain strategies to operate their system of the development of economic underdevelopment around the world. Impoverished youths and populations are occasionally armed to mine minerals for their masters at the expense of their own societies. First, Western nations own such mines under dubious agreements normally signed for ninety-nine years. They come in and collect their booties irrespective of prevailing conditions in those overtly and unduly politically stressed enclaves. The prevailing barrages of consequences are not surprising! In fact, the usual call for democracy in Africa and other developing world is not to foster peace for local populations but to maintain peace for their looting businesses.

    ACKNOWLEDGMENT

    Samora Machel, Patrice Lumumba, Kwame Nkrumah, Thomas Sankara, Steve Biko, Amilcar Cabral . . . When we look at these great African revolutionary leaders, thinkers, and visionaries of the twentieth century, we should ask ourselves, What do they all have in common? Five were murdered and one overthrown by Western governments and their agents. The challenges of the continent are not by accident; they are by design. Imagine the face of the African continent were these titans still on the battlefield!

    Source: public media—author unknown. The greatest losses of Africa!

    Nature is universally rich. But men at times lack the required abilities to convert the treasures of the earth into their own use; above all, lack of infrastructures frustrates talent discovery, talent development, and talent application!

    INTRODUCTION

    Whatever America is doing today to help nations around the world would remain ineffective until the West as a whole stops pillaging African talents and African wealth, and discontinues destroying African politics, African peace, African security, African unity, and life in the whole developing world. Today, as ever, the assistance given to African nations, among others, is the art to keep civilizations quiet at the faces of provocative massive economic and political abuses. Good thing, exploitations normally are difficult to decipher because they are usually subtle, emotional, and at times even philanthropic in nature. They appeal to the mind very easily and soothe strained nerves. The West uses the divide-and-rule or divide-and-conquer or divide-and-strain strategies to operate their system of the development of economic underdevelopment around the world. Impoverished youths and populations are occasionally armed to mine minerals for their masters at the expense of their own societies. First, Western nations own such mines under dubious agreements normally signed for ninety-nine years. They come in and collect their booties irrespective of prevailing conditions in those overtly and unduly politically stressed enclaves. The prevailing barrages of consequences are not surprising! In fact, the usual call for democracy in Africa and other developing world is not to foster peace for local populations but to maintain peace for their looting businesses.

    It is the hubristic feeling of difference rather than sheer economic destitution that is decisive in justifying the avalanches of calamities befalling humanity today! How the wonderful world would have been with the sublime proposals of Mr. John F. Kennedy! It was to be compared to a saturated cloth capable of extinguishing voracious conflagrations when spread across them; his ideas were stronger than the piercing rays of the illuminating sun wiping out darkness from the heart of men and the surface of the earth. These ideas radiated warmth just like the rays of the sun irradiating the earth! With them, racism would have scornfully passed away—perpetually eradicated from the surface of the earth. Mr. Kennedy understood the rudiments of world peace and economic stability. That way, he enviably embodied fairness and appreciated the indices of real human development without undue cataclysms.

    Today, the heat oozing from global racism is like that diffusing from an iron furnace scorching green plants and animals on earth. Economic exploitation or even outright strangulation, political suppression, etc. all stem from the tides of racism and the intimidating preponderance of international material inequality, controlled by the West. Prof. Jacqueline Battalora, in her elegant presentations, said that whiteness or racial discriminations made its debut into world history in 1681 after the Bacon Revolution sparked off by sheer human exploitations largely on farms and plantations, sheer brutality, excess taxation, scarcity of land for the landless people, etc. All the cases of ill feelings normally evolved from the propinquities of racial hatred. Whatever happens, it may be hard to believe that the root of racism is entirely color bar, but much more of social value and material wealth. The West has swallowed an explosive through the institutions of modern slavery and general economic exploitation tendencies now abounding in the West. After that revolution, one would have expected that the squanderers of human beings would have taken soft measures to soothe the strained nerves. They remained stoic. The exploiters never cared to ameliorate the prevailing harsh conditions facing injured laborers and slaves. What they did was to introduce very deadly division among the peasants. That policy elevated white peasants above their African and other native counterparts. That strategy of divide and conquer worked very fine. The whites, irrespective of their dejected conditions, became superior to Africans and others. And from there to this day, the system becomes only worse with each day that elapses. More tragedies are yet to come!

    This is the cradle of the cancerous infection ailing peace in Africa and the whole world to this day, bequeathing them a plethora of adversities—natural and artificial. The African continent is presently fraught with only economic difficulties, social uncertainties, material inadequacies, and all other factors connoting general insufficiencies. Presently, you have enough of nothing in this enclave. Through contact with the West, Africans acquired eventually only poor general mechanical incapability—low volume of knowledge or intellectualism—with which they could not sufficiently acquire and internalize adequate know-how to exploit available opportunities especially the tantalizing foreign cultures to the right levels. Meanwhile, Africans have forgotten everything autochthonous—their ancestral values and ways of life. That was the arrival into the present kingdom of environmental confusion and economic-cum-material inadequacy. A typical African is fundamentally uprooted from life realism—verisimilitude—and this way, he dances to tunes he hardly appreciates. This bestows on Africans only poor knowledge of life and makes them incapable of producing enough for their own welfare and to earn respect in the comity of nations. The significant overall consequence of contact with the West is operational destitution and total dependency—complete reliance on the know-how and benevolence of others! What Africans inherited intellectually from colonialism, occupation, and friendship has been very paltry to bring Africa unto the moving wagon of the world.

    Whatever brutality Africans suffered at the hands of Europeans during the Dark Ages was provoked by the desire to amass wealth—economy! Before now, Africans were cadged technically—local economies were wholly coupled to Western economies—so much that they couldn’t afford to learn to operate confidently and independently, and today the inauspicious system has been upgraded to a humiliating overprotectionism, which Africans and other third world nations have no means of confronting let alone affronting. If heat is added to a chemical reaction, the velocity of reaction and temperature increase, and the system moves in such a direction that favors the exhaustion of the extra energy. Struggling to operate in an unintelligible foreign system, which displaces a normal mind from its emotional equilibrium and breeds only mental disorientation and a stronger attachment to whatever that is available, is the response of Africans, like the chemical reaction under heat, to the menaces of the West. The way heat makes the molecules of a gas move violently and aimlessly in all directions is not different from the way foreign cultures imposed on Africans set them into the highest level of irregular motions. Like molecules of a gas moving at that very high speed in all directions and away from one another, Africans cannot converge at any convenient point let alone discuss with one another. To achieve that, the heat supply must be removed or discontinued! But how to extinguish the heat supplying source remains the ordeal of Africa!

    The first generation of Africans that served the white people never had any opportunity of doing anything if not for serving their masters as messengers, poor interpreters (how?), spies, and possibly as cooks in rare cases. Even their direct children had nothing to offer all because of mental inadequacy, not cerebral incapability. This people you will never blame for anything. They were mainly illiterates just as the white occupiers at that stage. If the white colonists appeared smarter, it is not because they were shrewder but because they were using their privileged position of violence and their mother languages—English, French, Portuguese, or other as the case may be—first to intimidate and later try to outshine their African counterparts everywhere on earth. Succeeding in playing oppressor roles, Africans remained the only overwhelmed folks. The thing to remember here is that at that epoch, everything stood still on the side of Africans. It was this terrible power-driven dormancy, not social and mental barbarism, that devastated African economic growth. The circumstance was to be compared with the situation where you are working and somebody comes to you and says, Please help me over there lift a load on my head. You left what you were doing and went over there to help him. Of course, how long the help takes to accomplish is also how long the continuation of your work waits for you. The strange thing in that condition was that you never come back to continue the job you were doing before you were interrupted by the man that needed your assistance. It was like the man after your arrival started showing you something else entirely different from what you were doing before. And probably you accepted his ideas and discarded yours. This was roughly what actually happened to Africans after contact with foreign people on African soil even before violence was unleashed upon them. Naturally, some Africans were attracted to the foreign people, but others were scared to death. In addition, when they were ultimately subjected to coercion and aggression, they confirmed their fears only affirmatively. One tragedy was the likelihood that many Africans regarded the invaders as superior people. Maybe, but not a determinant! Truth is that Africans are very accessible and gregarious people. A typical African south of the Sahara is hardly xenophobic.

    Ages elapsed before their tormentors left them again physically. At that point, men have entirely forgotten what they were doing and thinking before the primordial upsetting interruption. While the interruption was definitely not stage-managed, it contributed tellingly to the eventual financial decay. Nevertheless, that was not the tragedy. The cataclysm was actually the distraction, the confusion, and the humiliation amassed by Africans over the years in slavery. Lumped together into obstruction, it swayed Africa off its feet. Moreover, the magnitude of savagery encountered during the economic hullaballoos differed from people to people (Europeans) and from place to place. The next intransigent, devastating trouble was the dissimilitude (disparity) in the social cultures acquired by the same people (Africans) in the same environment (Africa). They were like molecules of a gas that have accumulated different quantities of heat from different heat sources and traveling in different directions at different speeds. Naturally, dissimilar molecules possessing different quantities of kinetic energies move at different velocities in their own uncontrolled directions, not different from the early Africans. Different Africans met different foreign people and so came out with different cultures of the same life in the same society at the same time. While some could not express themselves while under the spell of the newly imbibed ways of life, others could not even remember what their past was. That was actually that very excruciating era of total discombobulation—disorientation! The common denominator was social barrenness—this redoubtable overwhelming illiteracy. In some quarters, Africans were given minimum trainings in foreign languages to enable them at least to serve their masters, and in others, there was nothing like that. In some special cases, interestingly, some Africans were even elevated to enviable bureaucratic positions, making it look like they were treated like their masters—the whites. But in such environments, only few Africans were favored that way, while the remaining millions were left to themselves to wallow in ignorance as pariahs. In other words, Africans were filtered in the same society and treated differently a la divide-and-rule system. Each time, the white man devises a means of creating real anarchy in the midst of Africans and making life therein very chaotic. One popular modus operandi was practically setting Africans against one another. It was normally the trained group feeling elevated and pro-the whites versus the uneducated that loathe the whites feeling snubbed and neglected. The aggressor by dint of this lit a fire subtly and went home. It is the usual system: let Africans deal with themselves in the battlefield. In all this, only one thing characterizes all Africans: poor knowledge of nature—science and technology—is missing abysmally in African societies. And the unmitigated evil is the foreign language that makes Africans look rather stupid before foreigners in their own environments and become thereby colossally debilitated by system, psych, and culture. That condition to this day bequeaths Africa an artificial educational system.

    The reality was that Africans lacking performing abilities could not start anything on their own, being tremendously disorganized by force of arms and disorientated by foreign traditions and incoherent cultures. This system emanated from the fact that Africans became entangled and attached to their foreign oppressors in ways and manners that they could not do anything autonomously to extricate themselves from their (foreigners’) firm grips. The damage is done by the trepidation to disengage themselves from the annihilating grab that indeed keeps and sustains the prevailing underdevelopment of the region. Most unfortunately, even when Africans were able to exorcise some of them theoretically—drive out of Africa—it remains difficult if not impossible for Africans to do away with the half cultures they have imbibed in the course of slavery. This is the premise of or in consonance with the assertion that while it is possible to banish a man from a society, it is difficult to banish the society from the man. This is precisely true for the absorbed foreign cultures. Even when they were not adventitious, it is difficult if not impossible to do without them. In addition, the depth of the ways of working and organizing their societies acquired in the course of serving the whites was rather very shallow and too insufficient to move their counterfeit independent societies forward. They were pragmatically ill-equipped to consummate that. They needed to train thousands of local forces to localize civil services and societies. Africans, thereby rightly or wrongly, started seeing themselves no more as Africans but were too poorly developed to be accepted by the whites as whites. Worse still, Africans seem to prefer half pride in foreign attires and other cultures than full prestige in African paraphernalia or robes. This cultural crisis or cultural inconsistency exists because Africans have lost everything African but have attained only little or nothing at Western or European level. The consequence is that Africans today are neither real Africans nor Europeans, and there is nothing legal or social to fill the existing vacuum, gulf, or gradient. This colossal shortfall is most pronounced in education and exercise.

    While Europeans tried somehow in some regions to teach Africans how to read and write in foreign languages, the rate of material intelligibility remains pretty low. This predominant interspersed mental void heightens the aspiration among Africans to attach themselves more and more to their foreign oppressors then and, to this day, to have their things somehow done correctly. This is responsible for Africans not being able to emancipate themselves from shackles of their erstwhile colonial masters to date. The assimilated mental knowledge required to become self-reliant is obtrusively too exiguous—insufficient. In addition to that is the belief system. Africans were purely compelled to drop their ways of worshipping their gods to take those of the white people, believed timidly and erroneously to be more puissant and superior to African gods. Here again, Africans entered into the worst problem of their life. Exotic belief system up to this day cripples African culture and lowers their latitude or scope of viewing life on the assumption that religion blindfolds reason. The forfeiture of culture remains the most devastating tragedy ever to befall any normal being. Interestingly, Africans became converts to the foreign gods and started reading their Bible rather with enthusiastic abandon, which they understand to this day only sparingly. While religion of the West has stories and teachers, African religion stems from the society itself—morals! It entertains neither orders nor has it parishes and theologies. The one tragic eccentricity here is that Africans illogically placed African cultures onto the foreign bible. That leads to it that Africans understand none of them any satisfactorily. And that hampers human cultural quality among Africans very badly. With Igbo intelligence superimposed onto foreign philosophies, there is neither diffusion of ideas nor their mutual interactions. Conversely, it would have permitted the much-needed cultural percolations.

    Being unreservedly categorized by dismal poor knowledge of life, productivity tends to zero and enhances absolute economic dependency. In comparison with the whites, Africans are incapable of doing many things self-reliantly because they lack the requisite know-how. Worse still, African governments conspicuously looked the other way after the partial departure of the colonial masters. In many African nations including Nigeria where tribal problems were rife, the new governments had even no time to do anything for their people other than being buried in chaos moving from one ethnic tension to another. Tribal feuds were endemic and led to military interventions in many African nations including Nigeria. Without opportunities to grow in knowledge, infrastructures, and institutions, criminality replaced competence in many African societies. Tribal nationalists also used ethnic divide to buttress their political positions in their countries. All you have were tribal clashes rather than national cohesion almost continent-wide. Such terrible leaders, even in many cases, claimed that their absence from power would usher in instability in their nations, as if they were gods. That such leaders were despots could be ascertained from their poor performances in offices. Name them: Mobutu Sese Seko of DR Congo; Idi Amin of Uganda, who kept on killing seasoned officers (e.g., his central bank governor for failing to print foreign currency to sponsor his sinister profligacy; Macias Nguema of Equatorial Guinea; Emperor Bokassa of Central African Republic. Abacha of Nigeria was hardly corrupt in comparison with those not mentioned. Abacha was one of the best patriots Nigeria has ever produced. General Abacha was an open-minded fellow, and that made it possible for his colleagues to see the few things he did wrongly. What about those generals that malevolently plunged Nigerian economy into bankruptcy? Nigerians don’t talk about them because they are still extant and have master’s degrees in folk’s sophistry? It is axiomatic that Africans are not born fraudulent! The much-cited malaise in the African continent—corruption—is just a consequence of sheer bad leadership. It is this extractive economic policy, which enables the rich to get richer, that is frustrating economic development in the continent. The result is that Africans, dismembered and destroyed, keep on struggling and struggling to transfer their whole environments to those of the whites and to attach themselves to the whites as much as they can afford, for want of alternative options to no avail. That is to behold in the present Africans’ desperate exodus to the West whatever it exacts.

    From the days of independence to this day, many African leaders stole their countries dry and relocated to the countries of their colonial masters. No worries! Some of them borrowed and borrowed money from the international community and disappeared into the anonymity of their host countries, where they stay until death, while the debt they accumulated goes on strangulating or switching life out of their fellow citizens and women. To this oddity, the West keeps mum. After all, they (African leaders) deposited billions in local banks in the countries of their hosts. This tradition becomes a disastrous trend where even ordinary Africans have learned to rob their nations and store their loots overseas. In Nigeria, for instance, when you are asked why people do things the way they do them, one response may be To be like others. Another one may be Is it your money in cases of defalcation? Excess foreign debts also cause several other social maladies including maximum unemployment, political instability, decay of education and educational facilities, infrastructures, etc. Maximum poverty makes people lose sense of responsibility, national pride, nationalism, patriotism, and discipline.

    A typical African lacks self-confidence. He believes that he cannot achieve anything individualistically. This emanates from his upbringing in societies where only ethnicism, hatred, and corruption rule. Education is virtually inexistent; the African foreign belief system is as improper as it impedes the growth of the horizon of the people; our value system—money is alpha and omega—is the worst on earth. A typical African dampened by system and religion has no value for himself; he lacks everything approximating human ambition; and what he hands over to his children disturbs him the least; etc. The dream of an average African is to go overseas—to the homes of those that enslaved them and denied them basic development opportunities even to the moment. Those days, Africans were taken to the West in chains, but today, they even dare oceans and deserts to reach the Promised Land! Many people believe that the African approach to life is extravagantly awkward. This may be because they lack social orientation and absolute nationalism. Nothing gives Africans hope in their countries or makes them proud of their nations. Hence the trend today: away from Africa to any place outside the continent, wherever it may be, so long as it is outside Africa. However, many of the things contribute to the fate Africans share today both in Africa and outside the shores of Africa.

    European nations never let Africans have opportunities to grow sufficiently without giving up their African nationalities; all top African intelligentsia today living in or outside African nations have foreign nationalities. I wonder, Who are they serving? Naturally, their masters! You cannot go to school anywhere in European nations without changing your nationality to survive economically except Germany. European bureaucrats even advise you openly to take up their nationalities to finance your studies and have more rights as citizens. This is good intention that is always benignly inclined, but this dual nationality tampers perilously with and hampers national securities. Western nations give Africans foreign aids that they collect again from the back door. These aids do not help any nation in the end; they create only breathtaking dishonesty with big men getting richer than their nations. And all this without Western intervention because the wealth is recycled and stored there in the West. Many Western nations tolerate man’s inhumanity to man on the fake altars of internal affairs of nations only to send in relief workers when the nations now go to war with one another and need weapons of mass unification. The threat now is the Chinese method of economic aids to the third world nations. China has a million folds—all it takes to be an occupying force more than Europe and other Western nations, and time may come when European nations may have to apply for Chinese visa before visiting African and other vulnerable third world nations. Mass immigration of African youths even to the heartless China must be checked to enable African nations make better use of the brains of their citizens. European languages must be taught at least better in African nations to enhance intelligibility of study materials for work and exercises in African societies; trade relations must be reorganized to help Africans also participate favorably in international business transactions; etc. These changes, among others, are needed to help the economic growth of African nations.

    The development of skills to process African raw materials in Africa is a nonissue, but this must be expediently speeded up! Today, every raw material is adventitious in African nations, but Africans are wholly incapable of processing them to their own advantages. First, Africans don’t believe in the importance of having anything good in African soil. That is also the basis of depositing national treasuries in other nations. In addition to that is that ethnic sentimentalism exacerbates already bad cases. More than 90 percent of raw materials—solid minerals and plants—are obtainable in Africa. But none of them is processed and sold to the public in African nations. I listed them in the book for your perusal.

    The question may be, Why are Africans not interested in producing for their own needs? I don’t know precisely, but part of the answer may be found in bad leadership, another in extravagant tribalism, yet one other one is religion. The worst of all may be the absence of the required know-how. In Nigeria, for instance, children don’t go to school to obtain knowledge but to get certificate to balance ethnic quota system used in sharing national resources. This is the practice today not because Nigerians don’t understand the need for talent discovery and talent development, but that performing ability is not necessary to operate in the country. It is enough if geopolitical representations are met. The quality of services rendered is clearly subordinate or even extraneous. Part of this behavior may be anchored on the fact that we don’t need knowledge in Nigeria. The whites are there, or we have the money to import them to work for us. Nigerians are best served as consumers of the products of the hands of others. Cases in point are those of oil, cocoa, palm oil and palm produce, hides and skin, groundnuts pyramids, etc. Nigerian crude oil has always been exported to Rotterdam since 1958. To this day, foreigners still drill this oil for Nigeria, foreigners process this oil for Nigeria, foreigners sell this oil to Nigeria, and probably Nigeria still owes the foreigners for their services. What happens in Nigeria is obtained everywhere in African and even comparable third world nations. Africans are so ethnically divided that they prefer empowering Western nations to their own fellow citizens. Ask them: they are mutual enemies—terrible tribalism and ethnic chauvinism! But this is not limited to Nigeria. That is the best leeway for foreign intervention in internal affairs and robbery.

    Western nations stick to these exploitative business relations because they sustain African economic dependence and Western political leadership. Natural resources coming alone from DR Congo are enough to boost African economic emancipation. That it does not happen is attributable to the dearth of African low mental and professional ingenuities, and the few we have are living and working overseas. That the West hates others including Africa finds expression in their uncompromising stance on human exploitations around the world. And even when we have the Vatican and Canterbury in Europe, Europeans demonstrate little or nothing associated with moral principles emanating to their best method of the development of economic underdevelopment. Where is the justice? Where is the brotherly love they brought to us no wonder perforce? Why are they still controlled by sheer egotism and extravagant heartlessness?

    Western nations instigate wars in fragile societies to supply weapons. We saw Western nations doing that in Iraq, in Libya, in Syria, in DR Congo, etc. The West has magnificently done that in several nations in the past. War implements used around the world are produced only in the West and Russia. Hence, all the warring nations procure weapons from the West through their agents. Germany is nationally a pacifist. But German Leopard military tanks still find themselves in troubled regions a la Yemen. Confront them, and they tell you that they sold it to one friendly nation or another with the instruction not to sell further. Akuko (story)! Western nations are callous about the safety of others as far as it concerns their national economies. These are the practical acts of racism—the feeling of I don’t care what comes next. I remember a conference once held in Feldafing, off Munich, by African Community, Germany, those good old days. In that conference, a professor from Siemens presented a paper, and one of his major points was the importation of foreign expert workers into Germany. He said that Germany invites such people, employs them, and pays them well. They earn good money for themselves and gather professional knowledge. He went on to say it was a win-win for Africa and Germany. And I asked him, After pulling away those experts from African nations, how does life continue in those countries stripped of their pundits? He answered, I don’t want to know what are the consequences on the ground . . . ! This is typical European approach to African economic difficulties. The West disorientates the economies of African and other third world nations usually without compunctions as exemplified by the professor from Siemen! And the trend continues to this day. Consider what America does now. Mr. Trump wanted to help develop nations retain their best heads and pegged the highest number of foreigners to come into America in a year to 15,000 people. But the present government raised it to 162,000, and candidates should apply legally in their home countries. Usually, these are the best qualified in those societies. That is the classical Western racism via economic violence. Africa doesn’t deserve competent brains and workers.

    The West that way destabilizes African nations and their economies using their (European) stronger economy, hoping always to benefit from them. The present high waves of refugees flocking to the West are just one result of the devastating political and economic policies of the West on the rest of the poor world. While President J. F. Kennedy was talking benevolently about sending American experts to train nationals of the third world nations in their home nations to enable them to build and manage their countries, American governments after him in 1990 introduced strangulating visa policies to effect better world economic domination. With the introduction of visa lottery to draw all experts from all over the world to America, the world began to witness sharp declines of peace in those nations, because productivity that was struggling to grow now started crumbling. America this way becomes the melting pot of world experts. But while America and other Western nations including Germany, Canada, France, Britain, etc. grow from strength to strength, the corresponding third world nations move in the opposite direction. The rate at which they grow is directly proportional to the rate at which the poor nations decay and witnesses the waves of immigrants into the aforementioned nations. Those are the tendencies of real and established cases of international neglect called racism.

    Wars precipitated by the West customarily generate refugees at alarming rates; witness Iraq, Libya, Syria, Yemen, Afghanistan, etc. The source of the bad blood is attributable to the Western mean economic and political policies. Millions fled Iraq, millions ran away from Libya, millions deserted Syria, millions abandoned Yemen, millions deserted Afghanistan, etc. Even when wars are not physically taking place in most African nations today, millions are running away from poverty and economic destitution. Surprising, however, is that Western nations are rejecting asylum applications based on bad economic conditions in those nations. Germans charge that bad economic conditions is not a prerequisite for granting asylum applications. Shamelessness! you intone. If bad economic condition is not a reason for political asylum, what then will be one? War? In many cases, war is typically caused by economic poverty and, indeed, yes, in our generation. Western economic policies toward African nations, among others, cause political unrests and financial destitution. This is experienced because Western nations wanting to continue their exploitation of economic opportunities condone undemocratic governments across African states and around the world. It is these despots that tear the guts out of their citizens, causing them to flee their nations. The result is that all these displaced millions march toward Europe; witness the present refugee stresses now.

    The war in Europe now is the assimilation of refugees displaced from Arab nations. American governments under George W. Bush and its British counterpart under Tony Blair first destroyed Iraq, accusing its leadership under Saddam Hussein deceitfully of possessing biological and chemical weapons, and to have used the same against Iranians and Iraqi Kurds. After the annihilation of Iraq, war ensued, and many Western nations sent their troops to fight in Iraq to secure their common interest—the Iraqi oil. In the language of Donald Trump, to secure the oil! Prior to this, Saddam Hussein foolishly played into their waiting hands by attacking and annexing Kuwait—the American oil city. As expected, American government single-handedly forced him out of Kuwait. That was actually the precursor of the greater war that also killed him. Most importantly, the West went to Iraq to test their weapons. You still remember it was reported that French jet fighters missed targets in Iraq. That was one reason for waging the wars of aggression—testing precision weapons. Saddam Hussein offered the platform! Well, that would be the fault of anybody that plays fool into the waiting hands of aggressive Western nations. After destroying Iraq, Libya followed, and Gaddafi was also liquidated. From there, the ship of European war machine went to Syria. And now, Yemen is still burning. In all these circumstances, Western weapons are in professional actions—modeling and remodeling weapons of war. Then came ISIS with the declaration of an Islamic state in the same Iraq. Millions perished in trying to flush the ISIS members out of Iraq. In all these imbroglios, millions perished, and wealth meant for human development was squandered at theatres of war. The real cost is that the trend keeps on driving poverty to even higher degrees in the third world to this day. And the other results of the madness are millions of displaced persons now seeking refuge in Western nations. Most of them came to Europe rather than the farther away America, enjoying the benefit of wicked distance. And now, Europeans are quarreling with one another over the acceptance of refugees. The evil that men do!

    Poland and Hungary, for instance, refused vehemently to take up any Muslims into their countries. Poland remarked that it is a Christian nation and so not prepared to accept Muslims. They were afraid of attacks on and the rape of their daughters and wives by foreigners from Islamic fundamentalists. But EU agreement requires Poland and Hungary as EU nations to take up refugees wherever they come from. But to no avail. Poland further deposed that Germany, for instance, benefits from cheap labor supplied by the refugees. And, truly, Germany itself has been advertising relentlessly for this, even saying that Syrian doctors and experts are big wins for its economy. That also confirms the Polish objections arguing that the countries benefiting from cheap labor should also foot the bill of taking care of the affected refugees. This very issue is extremely controversial now among members of EU nations. Even UK left EU on the basis of the mounting influx of refugees into EU nations. Britain decided to control
