Why do Middle-Eastern/Asian countries get boots on the ground (Iraq, Afghanistan) and direct military involvement (Syria, Pakistan, Yemen, Libya) but African countries get "Peace Keepers" despite having just as brutal civil wars?
Whats up with that?
Racism?

niggers
because nobody cares about africa
westerners already control the flow of resources in africa, fixing it would be problematic with resource sharing and such

This.
Also the UN needs the shit to go on forever in Africa to get that sweet extra cash from donations for the children and whatnot.

Not important enough.
But it's starting to increase a bit.
Libya fallign means that Fance cna now heavily entrnch itself in Mali because Libya is nowa springboard for extremists into other parts of western Africa. Sure glad NATO just helped the takedown of Libya then abandoned responsibilities the minute it was needed.

There's money in the Middle East.

That is not the case. It all depends on the scale of the conflict and what solution allows to keep stealing resources from the locals.
The French army has boots on the ground in Mali right now, as well as other former French African colonies. But mostly Mali.

Islamists actually help with further western entrenchment in Africa affairs. to so there's a good side on that issue at least.

Niggers will try to kill their saviour.
Oil
The only African countroes with lot of oil are Nigeria and Angola but they are not at war

Oil is a factor. But also the fact that despite Middle-Eastern nations on the receiving end of collation asskickings being run by shit-tier dictators, they're still not Africa-tier dictators. They're actually marginally a threat.

It's actually Qatar and Saudi Arabia. Our "friends". It's all incredibly dirty politics.
