The black man is truely not capable of taking care of himself. We are often quick in blaming colonialism for our under-development but the truth is that we are unable to manage our countries effectively. Everywhere is chaotic, unorganized and full of corruption. The sad thing is that quite often we don't punish those who commited the crime against the state. They often go scot-free. I wait patiently to see what will happen to the guys involved in this current happening.
