'The mess that is Africa was created by European countries.'

Questionable - do you imagine sub-Saharan Africa was some sort of paradisal goodwill utopia pre-colonisation? The fact that it has reverted to something not a million miles from the destructive tribality that existed then is hardly the fault of the colonisers. They got us [British, French, Belgians, Italians] out on the plea that they had learned how to run a modern state so we should leave them to it, so we were damned if we did quit and damned if we didn't. & now, as you say, Africa is a 'mess' again.

Created by us?

I don't think so. In light of what I have just said - & I defy anyone to challenge its accuracy: & forget rationales derived from PC or cries of 'racism' cos you can't think of a better argument - let's see you justify that assertion.
