Heading to the Dark Continent

[DrYouth]

Don't you think calling it the Dark Continent in the 21st Century is pretty fucking racist ?

How else am I going to stir you savages up?
Already getting some decent results for that matter.

Have a good trip.
Victoria falls is on my bucket list.
Hope you get some good views.

Victoria Falls seems like the Las Vegas of Africa...
Should be interesting times.

Nah, that would be Gisa.
They even have pyramids.
Just like Vegas.

Be good to watch the Wagenia fishermen on the Congo.

There is supposedly a first world city filled with Germans somewhere in Africa that nobody knows about. It's kind of an open secret. I can't for the life of me remember what it's called but there are like no black people there and people walk around the city at night.

There are German sounding town names in Namibia, so probably one of those. Can't imagine there'd be that many of them left, over a century after it was handed over to the...British?

Anyway, enjoy the trip, DrY.

A controversial proposal by a senior German official that foreign powers acquire land in Africa to curb migration has been rejected by the African Union, writes the BBC's Dickens Olewe.

The European Union, or a body like the World Bank, should build and run cities in Africa in order to boost job creation and development on the continent, Germany's Africa Commissioner, Gunter Nooke, told the BBC in an interview in which he outlined his thinking on how to stem migration to Europe.

This will mean African countries leasing their land to a foreign body to "allow free development for 50 years", Mr Nooke said.

It is a controversial idea, rejected by critics as reeking of colonialism. But others - like Carol Musyoka, an academic at Strathmore Business School, one of Kenya's top universities - are open to the concept.

So they would rather inundate Europe through migration rather than have Europeans be the architects of a livable situation in Africa? How principled!
