Africa should try Tribal Cantons
The depressing news about Africa continues, now from Strategy Page:
The basic problems are corruption, tribalism and raw materials (from oil to diamonds and minerals) that enable warlords to sustain themselves, and their gun toting followers, for years. Somalia and Congo are the worst examples of this sort of thing. Then there's Sudan, where the government actually supports much of the mayhem. Many countries are seemingly peaceful, but are actually ready to slip into anarchy.
Thru the article, there is a feeling that nothing can be done about the tribes.
But I think Switzerland should be more of a model, with tribal cantons as a goal.
