Bookends

Africa in Chaos | American Renaissance:
A review of Paul Theroux's attempt to travel through Africa, the hellhole of the planet.

"This is what the world will look like when it ends."


It echoes a famous piece in The Atlantic from 1994, which described and predicted this.
Robert D Kaplan in his heyday, with The Coming Anarchy.

A line I never forgot. "...one of the coup's leaders, Solomon Anthony Joseph Musa,...shot the people who had paid for his schooling, "in order to erase the humiliation and mitigate the power his middle-class sponsors held over him."

This will be the reward of all the fools who waste their "humanitarian" energies there.

BTW, Detroit, anyone?
