MY QUESTION GOES TO THE UN. IF THERE'S NO HOPE FOR THE PEOPLE IN THEIR VILLAGES, WHERE DO YOU THINK THEY WILL GO TO SUSTAIN THE LIVES OF THEIR FAMILIES AND THEM?? THEREFORE, THE PEOPLE OF THE VILLAGES THAT ARE MIGRATING TO CITIES ALL ACROSS AFRICA HAVE THE RIGHT TO DO SO; AND FURTHERMORE,THEY ARE AFRICANS JUST AS THE REST OF ALL OTHER AFRICANS. UP TO THIS DAY, THIS IS/ARE THE SAME DIVISION(S) THAT CONTINUE TO PUT AFRICA BACKWARD. AND, WHY IS AFRICA KEEP LISTENING TO DESTRUCTIVE IDEAS?? WHY?? AFRICA'S PUPPET LEADERS SHOULD PLEASE STOP SELLING OUT THEIR COUNTRY'S SOVEREIGNTY AND THE WELL BEING OF THE CONTINENT BECAUSE WHEN CAIOS STRIKES, THOSE HYPROCRITES WILL NOT BE AFFECTED AT ALL AND THE DOOM OF DARKNESS WILL LIE ON YOUR EVIRONMENT, NOT THEM.
