Western "intelligence" agencies have funded and armed "resistance" movements and political opponents to destabilize African nations. Mercenary groups and private intelligence agencies have also been used to prop up division and competing warlords to keep these nations divided and chaotic. The Middle East, Central and South America and the Southeast Asian countries have all felt the impacts of these tactics. This is all for business interests to remove natural resources from these areas. The reason for all the chaos in Africa and many of these other countries is not organic. If allowed to develop without the seeds of disharmony and chaos, the third world countries would not be third world countries. This isn't about ethnicities and internal strife, it is about keeping them suppressed as a source of wealth and income for global elites. ALL human beings have the same potential. The same tactics we are seeing today that have been used to destroy our Western first world nations has been used for possibly 400 years to suppress the third world nations. The only countries that would be experiencing third world status organically are those with no natural resources.
