At least 30 Nigerian soldiers have been killed in a gun battle with Boko Haram fighters who overran a military base in the country's northeast, according to military sources.

Scores of fighters in trucks stormed the base at Zari village in Borno state late on Thursday and briefly captured it after intense fighting, two sources told AFP news agency on Saturday.

"They came in large numbers in trucks and carrying heavy weapons and engaged soldiers in a battle that lasted for an hour," a military officer said.

This is why we are Africa at least some, because the continent, certain countries would be overrun with radical jihadists.

Africa is eventually going to be overrun with jihadists whether we are there or not.

And all those "white-hatin'" African blacks are going to wind up in slavery/submission -- to islam.

Africa has many Christians, one article said more Christians than anywhere other continent. So we will see.

We will not help the African continent. Nobody will. There is no amount of money that will. Watch Povery, Inc. on Netflix. The only thing that will help third world countries is themselves.

They will get funding, maybe a lot from others too and ultimately, it's difficult to see how it can help a lot.  Even this $5.1 billion in the story above doesn't seem enough unless say, it is for a country or two.

Some real challenges in this century.

Corruption is a concern but this is not going to the region where Boko Haraam is.

I see that about South Africa,  the people of SA have given Muslims a lot of trouble. They don't like it.  There are parts of Africa where Muslims are a very small part of the population.

The good old days, when AIDS was a main concern:

SPIEGEL Interview with African Economics Expert
"For God's Sake, Please Stop the Aid!"
The Kenyan economics expert James Shikwati, 35, says that aid to Africa does more harm than good. The avid proponent of globalization spoke with SPIEGEL about the disastrous effects of Western development policy in Africa, corrupt rulers, and the tendency to overstate the AIDS problem.

And I say that not in jest. Sometimes, I just wonder about history....
