Not as outlandish as it may appear! That’s
indeed how the European World often conquered and occupied African territory
in the past – until about a hundred years to the day, as it embarked on its
1914-1918 war. Nations, peoples and states in Africa were targeted and seized
by all sorts from Europe to plunder in the
name of the monarch and the crown or the republic (France!) back home. The outcome? The genocidist
inchoate assemblages strewn around presently tagged Nigeria, Niger, Chad, the
Sudan, the Central African Republic, Zaïre/the Democratic Republic of the Congo,
etc., etc. History, it seems, continues to project itself almost inexorably...
