the whole of Africa WAS trampled all over (and raped and plundered...)....even Ethiopia, which was the last to be colonised by the Italians......

methinks saying Africa should have one government, is like saying so should south america or asia. would never work.

Of course none was left untouch but many still have the chance of revival those mentioned have a lesser chance, IMO.

I agree that N.America has a distinct feature than the rest

ethiopia was never colonized- it was occupied for 5 years but the outer regions were still off limits to the italians; it was eritrea that was colonized...

that's ridiculous;
you could also say if it was one gov't that bloodshed could have been avoided as it would have been seen as 'our' problem instead of 'their' problem
