Is the USA really Africa's friend?

I think on the African continent, we tend to forget history & almost go asking for the same treatment from our enemies that they've consistently shown for centuries in many cases. 

In the world of geopolitics, the USA has almost always assumed to be a "friend*" of Africa when the reality is shockingly the opposite. The HIV/AIDS virus that was said to be found among "gay people in the USA" then "monkeys in Africa" is said to have been artificially manufactured in the USA then spread in Africa. The Apartheid government, in hopes to reduce the black population, deliberately spread AIDS among South Africa's black people... KZN & Eswatini in particular.

I'm of the belief that the USA is disappointed that South Africa never became like them, a land where the natives were forced into small reserves. A land where the native people were removed from the governance of their own land. 

The same USA that openly admitted to destroying Libya & the killing of Lumumba & supporting kleptocrat Mobutu Sese Seko is expected to respect African sovereignty when they barely show it to other lands when acting as the "world's police". 

I feel sorry for us youths who grew up being shown Usonian pop culture to idolize only to learn that they are not a land to be trusted. But seeing as "money makes the world go round", the USA will continue buying loyalty from African leaders. 

*I'm inclined to use the word "friend" because "ally" often implies a military alliance. 


UPDATE: But the again... 
We must remember the tale of the ungrateful predator that wanted to attack the man who set it free. I would not know all the above myself without the USA invention of Google. USA also invented antiretrovirals that inhibit AIDS in the human body.

Comprehensive classification of Ngoni / Nguni groups.

List of Ngoni / Nguni nations : • Bhaca • Hlubi • Mpondo • Ndebele (northern Ndebele in Mthwakazi & southern Ndebele in Gauteng, South Africa) • Ngoni / Jere / Jele (mainly in Malawi, northern Mozambique, southern Tanzania, Zambia) • Nhlangwini    • Shangaan  • Swazi  • Tembu • Xhosa • Zizi • Zulu Altogether, twelve (12) "Nguni" groups are known to exist. From my knowledge in any case.  Bhaca, Hlubi, Nhlangwini, Swazi & Zizi are the Mbo Entity . The Mbo Entity often declassifies itself from the Nguni group. Nhlangwini & Swazi are under a Dlamini dynasty while the Hlubi & Zizi are also Dlamini tribes. Ngoni & Shangaan are of Ndwandwe origin (a tribe assimilated by the Zulu Empire). Bhaca, Hlubi, Ndebele, Nhlangwini, Shangaan, Zizi & some Mpondo are often classified as Zulu. While it's unknown whether Mpondo & Xhosa qualify as Nguni, they are often grouped as Nguni. Using family groups to classify :  • Mbo • Mpo...

The problem with a single African currency.

Preword: It's funny because one of the main reasons I found the courage to blog on African matters was due to a West African(?) gentleman who proposed the concept of a said "swal" & "zul" as a continental African currency in a blog. His boldness & conviction in his idea just captivated me & today I have to debunk this idea of his. But, hopefully, Africa sees why. African technologies & financial solutions Oh, Africa. We are so romantic; "United States of Africa", "Single African currency", "African unity", "Ubuntu"... all these fluffy, lovey-dovey concepts that will be ripped to shreds in the globalised world.  I debunked why a United States of Africa would likely collapse as soon as it sees the light of day. Today, I will debunk the concept of a "Single African currency" & explain why it would leave our enemies salivating.  I can't blame people who like stuff like United States of Africa...
