who is the savior

There are many movies about Africa, such as "Blood Diamond", "Rwanda Hotel", "Black Hawk Down" and so on.
But this one has a strong American plot.
Among them, the US special forces are not only described as sympathizers, but also as saviors and victims.
The article says at the end,
"The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing."
The Americans in the film thus became good men.

In recent history, the Ottoman Empire controlled northern Africa, and he established Islam as the state religion.
However, Western colonies landed in central Africa, controlled central and southern Africa, and believed in Christianity.
This is the source of the conflict in the film, which is different from ethnic cleansing, which is religious cleansing.
Don't think of Islam as evil than Christianity. This kind of religious cleansing is also staged in Christianity.
In the Middle Ages, Christianity led nearly ten crusades to purge the pagans on the eastern shore of the Mediterranean.
It's just that Christianity is no longer a devil, but a good man.

The chaos in Africa stems from the ignorance of the locals and the struggle between Eastern and Western cultures.
Africa has never developed its own modern civilization. At most, they only reach tribal culture and are controlled by aliens.
Then it's not a racial fight, it's a religious fight. And behind all the shadows of people from the East and the West can be seen.
What would Africa be like without the introduction of Islam and Christianity?
What would Africa be like without Western colonial invasion?
Maybe give him a thousand years and he will be a China.

However, no if.
When Westerners gather in Africa and see the slaughter and the chaos, they are so pitiful and sympathetic to the Africans.
But forget that they are the source of it all.
They acted as saviors, hoping to save this corner of God's forgotten corner.
But they are more like atonement.

And the poor African brothers are ignorant and ignorant. They don't know what a strong culture means to them.
For thousands of years, they are still farming, or tribes.
They looked up to the advanced helicopter and then not their tribe's doctor, blaming others for not saving them.
But never wondered why they couldn't create something of their own to save themselves.
Then there's the infinite loop, where they don't become hunters, they become fugitives.
Eternal fighting, eternal hatred.

Who can save Africa, not Americans, not good people, if they want, it can be themselves.
