The Mask of War: How the West Profits from Africa’s Chaos

The tragic joke is that America and its Western buddies acting like the world’s police are the same ones cashing in on Africa’s wars. It’s all one big racket, a mafia economy wearing a smile and talking about “freedom”.America, Britain, Western Europe, and their Gulf partners are running a side business out of Nigeria’s suffering. They want the oil, gold, and whatever else is there. 

Local elites help out and get their cut, while the real loot flies away overseas. Chad, Niger, Cameroon they’re just stops on the smuggling highway, sending it off to be “cleaned” in Asia, then resold with a shiny new label.All the talk about religion tribe nation? 

Smoke and mirrors. The real fight is for cash and control. 

The story is always masked and spun to justify invasion, intervention, or ignoring the bloodshed, depending on who profits.Congo: Bloody Batteries everyone loves the “green revolution.” But the cobalt for those batteries? Comes from Congo, dug by kids with empty stomachs and empty homes. Militias many claiming Christianity slaughter each other for minerals, while tech giants and car makers look away. This is colonialism 2.0: new slogans, same graveyards.Ethiopia: Famine and SpinIn Ethiopia, every side in the war called itself Christian. But nobody in the news calls it religious carnage. Instead, it’s dressed up as a “humanitarian crisis.” The real story power, money, land doesn’t sell headlines or international sympathy the way religion does.South Sudan, Central African Republic, CameroonThese wars? Christian against Christian, tribe against tribe, neighbor against neighbor. In South Sudan, Catholic faces Protestant over oil. In CAR, Anti-Balaka militias massacre for diamonds, then turn on each other. Cameroon’s Christian government fights Christian rebels for power. But Western outrage depends on who’s dying, and who’s buying.

Disaster Capitalism in ActionThe common thread? Disaster capitalism. The same banking cartels, corporations, and big governments collect the winnings, and the same old labels get slapped on the body count tribal war, political crisis—anything but what it really is: a robbery on a global scale.The Real Label Every time, the media tells you what to feel. When the West needs a war, they call it “extremism.” When they’re cashing in, they call it a “regional crisis.” Don’t be fooled. This is the old colonial playbook with new actors and shinier branding.
