It was unironically stupid of them to put down their weapons after a 50 year armed struggle. Trusting Abiy!

There�s still fighting going on between unionists and separatists in northern Somalia, 300k people have been displaced. Bad for the redditors who are the only people to recognize somaliland

Thread on American oil companies (mostly Conoco) and the Somali civil war.

Also the reason both the Somali region and Eritrea was handed over to Ethiopia was because of Sinclair oil.

Probably 6 or 7 million people dead because of some colored water.

Fozzy The Bear: Dec 11, 1999; Nothing much, watching the game, drinking a bud

Just got back from spending three weeks in Zambia. Amazing experience. Send me a message if you are interested in taking a trip (there is an organization that helps local schools and drives you around etc), I visited a wild game park, the Victoria Falls, took a booze cruise sunset boat ride on the Zambezi river, so many wonderful experiences.

The West certainly hosed Africa up in the past (and present no doubt), but China is loving up Zambia so bad right now. China is bribing government officials to get infrastructure jobs, then just doing the absolute minimum/shittiest job ever. For example their roads, they are just pouring asphalt on top of the dirt, no base rock, no compressing, nothing. I was driving on some of their most major roads, and the surface of the road is a U shape from the trucks pushing down on their tire tracks and then the middle of the lane rises up. Its so bad that the middle of your lane at points is so high it scraps against the underside of your car. Not to mention the HUGE potholes everywhere. At one point the potholes were so bad, it was better to turn off and drive off road to the side of the road, skip the potholes, then drive back to the road.

Everyone I spoke with had a negative opinion of China.

Anyway, here is a video of a fat goon visiting a few Zambian schools and buying lunch for everyone (I was like, "can I just buy the food and take pictures?" and they said no, you have to serve it, or the kids don't believe that you bought it for them :lol:

)

Have you ever been there you ignorant idiot? It wasn't a mission trip, it was a vacation booked through a non-profit run by a Zambian who builds schools/hospitals.

I spent hundreds of dollars in their economy, gave money directly to the people running the school, and had a positive experience doing so.

Shut the gently caress up about poo poo you know nothing about.

Cute video, genuinely.

Do you have any videos of these poorly prepared roads that China built? If they were literally poured on top of dirt I *think* that should be easy to see: it would be extremely fragile and prone to breaks the moment the underlying ground softens & a truck drives over it, right?

They have to hire local contractors to rebuild those buildings and they fall apart in a few years anyway. Glad that some people made a buck off of you and you got to salve your sense of guilt.
