[QUOTE="Av Gorritt, post: 6193278, member: 2303"] I often wonder if any of the former African colonies are any better off since they gained their "freedom " I'm sure there must be , but I can't think of any . I'm quite sure many fair minded people will say , Yes but all the profits from the colonies went to Germany , Belgium, France, England etc. and a lot of it didn't filter down to the actual workers . And this will be so , in many cases , but as I see it , the profits , if indeed there are any now, will be going to despotic rulers , many of whom spend their aid money on new palaces , Mercs, and Jet planes to send their multiple wives and families to Europe to shop , for luxury goods . Or do I read the wrong news items ? What is perhaps more significant is the apparently complete breakdown of Law , and the common populace are either left to starve , or to become the victims of tribal warfare . Witness presumably , the great exodus of African people trying by any means available to get to Europe . [/QUOTE]
