It's a beautiful thing the VERIFIED cooperation between SADC member states. External players in the West (particularly Europe) want to undermine this. It's not a secret among those who want to sustain their wealth at Africa's expense that the DRC is rich in resources and thus instability is actually a tool to create desperation they can capitalize on. If we think behavior like that of the Brits selling Opium in China is a thing of the past then they will do it again in Africa. My point is that there is NO boundaries for those bent on supremacy. Our election campaigns of 2012 in the U.S. has the anti-Obama people SCREAMING "our [their white] America" meaning they are willing to stoop to new lows for their ambitions. It's called Anglo-America for a reason and they become more irrational the browner America gets. This would mean PRETENDING TO BE FRIENDS OF AFRICA toward the end of undermining blacks and browns in the U.S. Somewhere in all this is a trail leading back to the status-quo Western supremacist culture or maybe China or India as they already have shown signs they intend to fill in when the West falters.
