Sadly, the cycle of poverty, governmental fraud and graft, and militant takeovers is a never ending cycle in many African countries.
I know it was just drama, but watch Blood Diamonds or any good documentary on the violence and greed and how it infiltrates all the way to the top levels of government.
Here are just a few of the recent headlines...
"Northern Nigeria was hit by a fourth day of violence Wednesday"

"Poverty, graft behind Nigeria violence...Islamist militant attacks"
