No no no no no no no no no no... ! Bono are you listening??? the way to change Africa is to point to it's owners and the real criminals through out Europe - It';s how all of you got rich ...now it's time to pay Africa back. WERE STILL GIVING REPARATIONS TO THE FAKE JEWS...currently today they are killing off over 60 million people ALL the problems of Africa today were man made and contributed by Western society, the problems were brought to Africa, the stealing of their natural resources, the taken of slaves, AIDS injected now over 40 million today dying, all the toxic dumping in Africa, stealing resources, diamond mines, and the genocides of all these senseless killings, - but what you see are only some black ruthless leader whom they make out to be just this one monster evil man, but they fail to show you who's really behind the scenes, who's given them their orders, the puppet masters i.e World bank, USA, the oil trade in Africa (is the biggest in the world how come we never hear about it?) The Federal Reserve, Zionist, etc on and on. Article http://wysinger.homestead.com/berlinconference.html Meeting at the Berlin residence of Chancellor Otto von Bismarck in 1884, the foreign ministers of fourteen European powers and the United States established ground rules for the future exploitation of the "dark continent." Africans were not invited or made privy to their decisions. 1884-1885 - Berlin West African Conference carves Africa into spheres of control In the second half of the nineteenth century, after more than four centuries of contact, the European powers finally laid claim to virtually all of Africa. Parts of the continent had been "explored," but now representatives of European governments and rulers arrived to create or expand African spheres of influence for their patrons. Competition was intense. Spheres of influence began to crowd each other. It was time for negotiation, and in late 1884 a conference was convened in Berlin to sort things out. This conference laid the groundwork for the now familiar politico-geographical map of Africa. In November 1884, the imperial chancellor and architect of the German Empire, Otto von Bismarck, convened a conference of 14 states (including the United States) to settle the political partitioning of Africa. Bismarck wanted not only to expand German spheres of influence in Africa but also to play off Germany's colonial rivals against one another to the Germans' advantage. Of these fourteen nations, France, Germany, Great Britain, and Portugal were the major players in the conference, controlling most of colonial Africa at the time. The Berlin Conference was Africa's undoing in more ways than one. The colonial powers superimposed their domains on the African Continent. By the time Africa regained its independence after the late 1950s, the realm had acquired a legacy of political fragmentation that could neither be eliminated nor made to operate satisfactorily. The African politico-geographical map is thus a permanent liability that resulted from the three months of ignorant, greedy acquisitiveness during a period when Europe's search for minerals and markets had become insatiable. The French dominated most of West Africa, and the British East and Southern Africa. The Belgians acquired the vast territory that became The Congo. The Germans held four colonies, one in each of the realm's regions. The Portuguese held a small colony in West Africa and two large ones in Southern Africa. After colonial rule was firmly established in Africa, the only change in possessions came after World War I. Germany's four colonies were placed under the League of Nations, which established a mandate system for other colonizers to administer the territories. The Congo Free State, conceived as a "neutral" zone to be run by an international association in the interest of bringing science, civilization, and Christianity to the indigenes, received the Berlin Conference's blessings. Belgium's King Leopold II (far left) soon took control, reaping fabulous personal profits through the sale of land and development rights. Scandalously little was reinvested in schools like the one shown here. BBC News site: A man who exploited Congo's resources and contributed to up to 10 million deaths.
