Look. The colonial powers went in, created a certain amount of infrastructure, and made at least some attempt to uplift native populations to a civilized level. In essence, they were foster parents to a bunch of native children, and Mom and Dad did their best to teach the kids to be adults.
Fifty years later, after colonialism is deemed a dead policy and the Western powers have all pulled out, it looks like the natives have lapsed back into childhood.
Exactly what was so bad about colonialism, again?
And another thought…the newspaper that started all this with the stupid Muhammad reference was a Muslim newspaper, so naturally the combatants are…Muslims and Christians? How did the Christians get dragged in?
Children indeed. Feral children who need a knee or two to be put over and spanked.
