War in Africa?

War is a big investment, it can't repay itself in Africa.

The worldwars?

This. We already prop up states that are having mass famine because the population growth is unsustainable. Africa is a hell hole and peace would be only temporary on top of nothing to gain.

Those were peripheral battles.

I mean a war centered in the dark heart.

The Somalia and French interventions beg to differ.

But, like most potential interventions, why bother?

All those wars where they conquered the continent.

If you're talking about modern examples, then they intervene in civil wars all the time; Sierra Leone (e.g. Polliser), Libya (e.g. Odyssey Dawn), Mali (e.g. Serval), Somalia (e.g. Mogadishu and OEF-HA), and Congo (e.g. Jadotville) just to name a few.

The french are CONSTANTLY mucking about in Africa even in the present day.

Name the wars in which they conquered the continent. I would love to hear about them.

Those more recent interventions are more like Ops, not full scale wars.

They send detachments down there, essentially for the experience, so their armed forces don't become entirely inexperienced in modern warfare.

The famine isn't because of population growth at all if you actually bother to research it at all.

Only the north african campaign was peripheral
The other campaigns were just as much in the "dark heart" as the boer wars
