      Because we destabilise them so they do not develop to powerful societies, that won’t do cheap labour for us anymore.

        I think it’s mostly natural resources, there is still a huge amount of natural resources in Africa exploited by western companies.

      I blame those evil hippoes. We think they just eat and chase people. They’ve been up to much worse for a very long time.
