In 1945, at the formation of the United Nations, there were only two countries, south of the Sahara, representing the African Continent: Liberia and Ethiopia. The rest of Africa was under colonial domination. But then the winds of change arrived in the 1960s and the peoples of the continent were full of hope. Unfortunately President Jimmy Carter became President of the United States of America in 1976 at the height of the cold war. It has been rumoured for years on the African continent that President Jimmy Carter's administration destabilized the Governments of Liberia, Ethiopia and Somalia to protect the interests of the United States of Ameria. The peoples of those named countries, and the rest of the continent from the ripple effects, are still suffering from his actions.
If you have anything to contribute to the above sentiments, pass it on. Keep the Faith!
