The denizens of the dark continent have been abused and used by Europeans for at least two/three centuries.
There have been very many interventions both by individual countries(all complete failures) and by the international communities(none of which worked)
Frankly much as I want to help all the people of Africa to all achieve full democracy and freedom from famine, disease and war we cannot impose it from the outside. We have to work with them diplomatically and with offers of aid where necessary.
