Is there a single African nation that isn't war torn or completely economically ruined? There has to be a limit on how far you can blame colonialism, when are we going to see some hot new phone or viral app come out of Africa?

I'm mixed. The one south African that I met in the states as a kid back when I was pretty ignorant of their situation and recent history was really, really, really, really, really alienating.

"Rhodesians world-wide and the New Rhodesian Forum are appalled at the recent tragedy in Charleston, South Carolina, US. It has been widely noted that the shooter was wearing a Rhodesian flag lapel. Rhodesia and Rhodesians never supported an apartheid system and in no way wish to be associated with this person. African Rhodesians made significant contributions to the Rhodesian way of life, including making up over 70 percent of our Armed Forces during our struggle with terrorism, communism, and civil war."

wow i didnt realize that rhodesia was actually.. good??

Uganda and Rwanda are pretty decent countries, although both still meddle in the Congo and their "presidents" have been in power a bit too long

I've been living in the Congo for two years and it's pretty awful

I don't have many photos on these computer but here are a couple from western Uganda, near the Congo border. My friends and I went gorilla and chimpanzee trekking out there and it's stunningly beautiful





Sadly I don't have many photos from here in the Congo unless you're interested in, uh, farms
