Belgium knows a peaceful ruler to fill the place.

I thought this was going to be about what’s happening in South Africa where they are just immediately arresting and deporting what are now emaciated illegal miners with not even a second’s consideration to their well-being.

But no. It’s just a westoid complaining about the west losing control of natural resources in African countries.

Not that I agree with these military juntas as they are no doubt brutal, but not sad for the corporations at all. They have been exploiting those country’s resources with giving little in return for a long time.

You should think a little about your automatic reation on the word "junta" with "they are no doubt brutal" and where it comes from. Those particular juntas enjoy the widespread support and acceptation in society and are much less brutal to it than your average western (not to mention comprador) "democracy".
