Not this shit again. Why do they always fuck up? Yes, France has a lot to be blamed for as usual, being shitty colonialists but it has been long enough. Other post colonial countries have recovered and grown their economies. Even Vietnam's has grown 600% since the War.
The reasons for this are both internal and external, unfortunately. Yes, there are foreign interests that have taken advantage over the years but there's also the corruption that has persisted for decades. Until the government can start from scratch and keep the crap elements out, this will continue to happen and people will continue to suffer.
