Today we talked about the Newtown shooting. Then we started talking about African Blog. We start with Somalia which was my assigned blog. Then we talked about the
DRC (Democratic Republic of Congo). Cult of personality- when the people of a country sees pictures of someone high in goverment everywhere they start to think of them god-like and don't misbehave when they are in power.
1st Congo was- Ethnic tensions, Rwardon Genocide-Hutrus, feeling to DRC.
2nd Congo war- Dealiest war in african history, 5.4 million people dead, millions disapeared. S
outh affrica was about the Dutch wanting all the black out. They went from having a racist goverment to a black president.
Libia- Was ruled by Italy then Great Brittan Then in 1951 was indavidual and found oil 8 years later which caused their problems. Gaddafi seized power from king. Sharia law-unlimited power(strict law). Purges. Helped country, supported terrorist. He caused the country good and bad things. He supported terrorists and killed many inocent people.
