Would Africa be more "peaceful" if its nations existed along ethnic borders, rather than the borders forced upon them by colonization?
>>1775149
Hell no making the blacks slowly forget their tribal roots is what is keeping Africa in peace, the Rwanda Genocide is what happens when blacks remember their roots.
>>1775149
Africa is pretty peaceful though. Can you name a single major war that has taken place in Africa?
>>1775154
Your definition of "peaceful" is in serious need of revision.

WW1? WW2?
>>1775149
No those ethnic groups were fighting all the goddamn time. It might be more low-intensity, I suppose.
>>1775149
Well we aren't there forcing them to keep those borders so they should stop blaming whitey for all their own shit.

Oh you mean those wars forced onto africa by bloodthirsty European savages?
try again m8

Is that map legit?
Isn't most of north africa either arab or berber?

>Can you name a single major war that has taken place in Africa?
>>1775149
That map is fucking bonkers. If we apply its logic to the other continents there'd probably be over a hundred thousand countries on Earth.
>>1775149
No one knows what they are ducking talking about. Op when you are talking about anything historical that is the western world in the last 100 years you are best to actually go elsewhere or Google that shit up.
Do these look like people who'll settle down once their "tribal borders" are returned?
>>1775152
Wtf you have no understanding of the Rwandan genocide and it's causes.
>>1775225
> it's causes.
It's cause. Which is eternal white and colonization.
>>1775149
Of course not, are you stupid? God.
>>1775223
South Sudan is literally the two leaders profiting off the war. People don't fight for no fucking reason spontaneously and you'd have to be retarded to think so.
>>1775225
Its cause was Tutsi and Hutu hate eachother and thus try to wipe eachother out.
>>1775149
The cartographer confused tribes with ethnicities, which makes Africa look way more diverse than it is

'Berber' covers about 20 groups.
>>1775257
but still im pretty sure egypt is pretty homogenous with copts and arabs
>>1775242
It was a result of the German and Belgian colonial policies, extremely cancerous anthropology and culmination of it those factors post independence and the UN doing nothing despite the massive warnings internally and externally (showcasing the security council flaws) and France being extremely douchey.
As an African, that map is making my eyes bleed
Yeah we Twi speakers like shit talking each other but we consider ourselves one nation, like all the different regions of old Germany
I demand more Ivory Coast clay, and almost the entirety of south Ghana
I love how ethnonationalism is considered the solution to Africa's problems but in Europe its the greatest sin.
t. not even /pol/
>>1775274
> greatest sin
What are you speaking about? Everyone praised Scotland separatists.
>>1775274
Ethnonationalism is a meme
>>1775274
that's because 'white' isn't an ethnicity
>>1775284
Literally who is everyone? Nobody praised them.
>>1775252
>The cartographer confused tribes with ethnicities
No he didn't, you did.
>>1775274
Africa is a racist continent it has no diversity as at its just fucking niggers and sandniggers yet we are the racist ones because we dont want them in our countries.

The resurgent Scottish nationalism isn't ethnic nationalism you dumbo. If they were ethnic nationalist they would have been most likely banned or something

And yet people railed against UKIP with accusations of ethno-nationalism, despite the fact that they had/have more ethnic minority candidates than any other party.

realistically there'd be the same number of countries, except with significantly more genocide.

Why blacks? Surely the Balkans shows that whites are just as much subject to ethnic tensions as other racial groups.
>>1775149
Same could be said for the Balkans after the Berlin Congress, but what's stopping these people from adapting to a newly found environment?
>>1776810
No, but they'll settle the fuck down when we break their country into two and make them suck our cultural and economic dick for decades
>>1775223
It's because the white man sells them weapons!!
Surely if we remove their gu....oh wait
>>1775251
>he thinks the Tutsi and Hutu are tribes
>>1775223
Aren't the Arab Sudanese actively committing genocide as well?
I'm not saying genocide is good or anything like that.
I would really love for their to be a real world Wakanda but as this point I doubt it.
>>1776936
The balkans were subject to forced colonizations and deportations and constant invasions moreso than every other european area.

This is fucking great. I was in East Africa 2 years ago , only met some lawyers and such affiliated with museveni, but it's hard to understand political motives when everything is villainized if it falls short of providing utopian communism.
Do you have any copypasta on Ethiopia's military presence?
>>1780323
Are you saying there exists a screencap of Ethiopia's military presence and you want it posted, or are you suggesting someone should dump a lot of info about Ethiopia's military presence to be made into an image?
Because I'd also be interested in the former, and I know absolutely nothing to attempt at the latter.
>>1780472

>>1775149
Yes, splitting south africa between east and west a century ago would have helped a lot.
Give the the southern coast west of the fishriver, the western cape, the northern cape and the southern hlaf of namibia to the white and mixed race people, since the original inhabitants, the san, are nearly all dead or assimilated.
It happens to also be the shittiest in terms of natural resources, with half being desert or drylands, so the blacks are less likely to contest it.
Then you're left with essentially only the race dynamics of your average south american country, with white people and mestizos (in this case the mestizos are white/Khoisan/malay )
bonus points because you're also left with one major language (afrikaans) and two minor languages, german (in southern namibia) and english (in the larger coastal towns of the western cape, like Cape Town, George and Knysna)
What do you think /his/? Its not feasible now, populations are spread out beyond their historical borders, but an interesting idea?
>>1780802
Just update the map.
Don't split the nations based on an ethnic map from 1959, split them based on an ethnic map from 2016.
>>1778677
Woah a fight! That would never happen in our peaceful white Utopia of Europe
>>1775149
Fuck no. Some of these 'Ethnic' groups are people who speak the exact same language, follow the exact same religion, and were the same people a few generations ago.
And others were different nations who have been separate for centuries, with different religious beliefs and a different language.
It would be better if the borders were drawn along cultural factors, such as language and religion. You may say that that is the definition of an Ethnic group, but then that means that OPs map applies the definition inconsistently.
>>1775154
No. But North Africa has been a front/theater for several wars but that's cause it's right on the Mediterranean.
>>1775296
>white
Are you retarded and believe anyone but anglos calls himself white here?
>majority of conflicts in the world and history are ethnic/tribal in nature
>marxist fantasists insist tribalism is a social construct of economic consequence instead of an innate trait in humans
>>1782855
you go both ways with it. the economic situation of the world creates much of the financial inequality between groups. In a lot of cases, religion is a response to this. For the poor religion is a vehicle of hope and a "tribe" of folks that offer mutual support. For the rich and politically powerful, religion is used as a vehicle to accrue more capital; see the Catholic Church, Islamic State. The only way I see tribalism as an innate trait is in racism, however this too can usually be drawn back to the fact that a lot of times, racism is a result of ignorance and lack of education, a mostly lower class phenomenon.
>>1782855
>majority of conflicts in the world and history are ethnic/tribal in nature
good one
>>1775264
Nope, there are bedouin arabs, arabs living along the Nile and a bazillion other arab groups. Copts are arabs too, by the way
>>1783152
>Copts are arabs too, by the way
depends who you ask 2bh. Also there are Nubians in Egypt
>>1775251
they only hated each other because their colonial overlords conditioned them to hate each other.

It's amazing how few people are aware of this conflict. Literally the deadliest since World War II but no one cares because it didn't involve America, commies, or Islamists.
>>1784203
Very fluid though.
If there WAS any differences it's pretty much long gone at that point since there's many "Hutus" who look like "Tutsis" and vice versa.
They had to make natives carry ID to identify a person's affiliation because appearances weren't enough.
>>1775310
Uh yes, he obviously did. Look at Somalia (which is >90% Somali). Or look at Egypt, which is >90% Arab. Obviously these areas are divided by tribes.
