That's doesn't look good.
I have to research African cause If i spend money to come visit I dont want to see no angry hateful shit. What part are the happy loving Africans in? That is the part I want to visit. There is enough chaos here.
Anyone that knows what time it is, knows not to entertain any of the government bullshit. Life is more peaceful if you take them out of the equation as much as possible.
