This article explains the devastating demolitions that are caused by large -scale military operations such as the War on Gaza in 2008-09. Ten years ago, a 23 year old man (Corrie) was killed by an Israeli army bulldozer when he and his group of activists were acting as human shields to try to stop the Israeli army from demolishing Palestinian homes and clearing out the land around the Palestinian town of Rafah.

This article reminds us all of the growth-stunt that colonialism in Africa brought to the continent. It is not surprising to see that most African countries still depend heavily on their old colonial masters for survival. People who may casually follow African politics might think that colonialism started with the Berlin Conference and ended in 1990 or so, but one could argue that it hasn't ended due to the urgent dependency African countries still have on their old colonizers. Africa might be the most beautiful continent in the world but has the worst story of any in the world.
