A simple google search will tell u the diference between hutus and tutsis is not belgian made. Ruanda and Burundi have a pre-colonial history (ofcourse) and this is an eurocentric narrative that only serves to excuse the genecide. And yes, belgium made it worst, a lot worst, the whole scramble for africa and the political ideas in europe were distructive did a number hard to fathom! At least be historical correct and tell african history properly!

All of those are solved by economic growth and blockade of external interference.

@adedamolamartins3810 imagine u had a boat and spent most of ur time looking out for the waves knowing once a wave had crashed ur former boat. Now imagine that from the shore line wind was set but because u were looking towards the sea, u never noticed that gush of wind and it was actually a hurricane and in the end u never noticed the other dangers, so set and sure that it was from the sea that distruction came. In the end the hurricane took your boat and u never saw it, u were still trapped in the time when that wave crushed ur boat.

@jhrusa8125 humans have been building infrastructure to overcome geography since the neolithic.

@1wun1 that's the thing: those were the two countries who undermined the first stage of independence (with some others in the party) of african countries and thus post-poning that infrastructure build and in some cases distroyed said infrastructure. Cold war was as bad as colonialism and africa got the hot part of the cold war.

@jhrusa8125 yes u can, and yes they were sustaining big economies (withing era context) and some were already trade civilizations. There is a pre-colonial history: for example what is today mozambique were sustaining themselves pretty good and trading with china and india. It was these guys who gave directions to the portuguese (yes they stoped for directions they were kind of lost) when they were trying to reach India. If u look the train track built by colonualist portuguese in mozambique they were built on top of the trade root from interior africa towards the ports - see the infrastructure already ocuring? Africa's story is poorly told.

@jhrusa8125 thats one of the miths: for example ethiopia not only has a script but a very old one. 🤦‍♀️It's so sad that u insist on miths and miss information insted of going like "such interesting possibility, I'm gonna investigate and check it out".
