I see a lot of places where colonial powers came in and drew imaginary lines saying "You are ~COUNTRY~*"
*Under the rule of ~EUROPEAN COUNTRY~
Not all, but many.
And we wonder why there's not enough sense of nationalism to hold them together as a nation.
I'm holding out hopes for South Sudan and that the split makes it better. Also, as the thread on Sudan's split noted, the religious lines are not often as simple as people assume and many of the fights are more about tribal lines than religion.
I just wish that I had a magic solution and the power to implement it.
