>>511266326 but you probably overlooked. If ANY african nation attempts to act hostile against another, the humanitarian gibs will cease immediately.
You've gotta understand that, for these """countries""", humanitarian aid is a ridiculous amount of their total GDP. Anywhere between 30% to 70% depending on which one.
If that much of your GDP dried up the second you crossed a border, you wouldn't be starting any wars.
Hence why proxy conflicts are a thing. They learned with Iran that you can just give guns to disgruntled people within your enemies' borders and they will do all the fighting for you.
But the actual shifting of borders is not in the interest of foreign countries. The US, Russia, France, China...all of them have investments in Africa. For example, France would have an energetic collapse without the Uranium from Africa. If these mines changed hands, things would be very complicated.
The current arrangement is good for foreign powers. Being at permanent civil wars means Africans can never be independant or push for fair agreements, and they will spend much of their budget hiring mercenary/PMCs from the same people exploiting their resources.
Decolonization is a lie, nothing changed. They have simply found arrangements that were better than what they had before. You don't need to have troops and fight colonial wars, if you let the africans wear the uniforms and think they're the ones in charge.
