I don't know why they send goats anyway, seems a bit cruel.

It likely won't last long. They'll either kill it for food during a famine or sacrifice it or some weirdo will come along a rape it. Fuck em. I don't know why we interfere with Africa so much anyway, it'll never change. I think it's much more humane to leave them behind and focus the resources on something more important.

Sure, but before Europe even got there, there was already massive amounts of poverty, slave rings and dictatorships.

People think Europeans invented the African slave trade, they didn't. There was already slave trades there, the Europeans just got the slaves already there. Then again you could argue that Africa would be much worse today if Europe didn't turn up, specifically Britain which ended the slave trade and liberated it from Nazi regime with America. I know lot's of the former colonies are now part of the Commonwealth which pushes these African nations to become democracies and increase human rights and Britain protects Somalian trade from pirates.
