Why Imperialism Loves Africa

Imperialism loves Africa. It fights itself, unlike the Arabs who prefer fighting invaders. It speaks a million tongues, unlike the unhelpfully monolingual Arabs, presenting rich opportunities to resourceful foreigners. All of Africa's incorruptible heroes are dead - Cabral, Fanon, Sankara, Hani, - those of the Arabs - Hamas, Hizbullah, the Iraqi Muquama, still live - and don't we know it! Africa has a short memory, the Arabs a long one, we know because we wrote Africa's history, the Arabs, rebellious as ever, wrote their own.
