You can say what you want but in countrys south of sahara tribal system is very important for people and they really take these things seriosly while it seems ridicilous by our standards, from Nigeria to South Africa tribes are very important to its citizens, you could even say that tribes are political partys of most of African countrys.
If you're talking ethnicity, there are precious few nations on earth for which this is not the case.
No it does not define but most countrys are having symptons of it, diffrence of being mashona or matabele in zimbabwe is huge, or being Xhosa and zulu even in modern South Africa, it affects your political career and for many voters your tribe is pretty important factor.
Again, how is this different from almost every other part of the world.
Well there is major cultural diffrence on sub-saharan africa and northern africa. Sahara Africa is culturally islamic/arabic while sub saharan countrys were under western countrys colonies till last century and still holding traditional culture (tribal system).
I KNOW THAT.
I'm saying even within that sub-division there are sub-divisions. That it can't be summarized as one.
I would say that Caucasus wars are political sabre-rattling method for Russia to proove the world that its still major military factor and preventing same time for other areas attempting to indepence from Russia and Russia just shows that such attempts will be responded correctly.
This isn't about what Russia is doing, it's about what the rebels are doing.
Chechnya might want to establish independent islamic state but Russia just dont want to lose any more of its soil and prevent further dissolution of Russian country.
This is ethnic conflict Shandian.
Can happen anytime for numerous reasons Can also happen for numerous and silly reasons,
No it absolutely fucking cannot.
Germany were infact quite succesful at WW1,
What the holy fuck are you talking about. It was an absolute disaster.
Eastern front was paramount success
It wasn't a success so much as it was Russia's downfall from it's own issues. germany didn't have to try.
And how the fuck can you bother using that as an example.
Do you think Nazi Germany was quite successful because they conquered France? Completely ignoring that the state was liquified to the last detail? It's officers and leaders mostly ending up executed? Occupied by enemies, including the communists they hated so much? Who scorched and raped Germany as they came? Who commited near genocide on the Germans in Poland and East Prussia?
That they still did pretty well because they beat France?
and defeat of the war was blamed on incompetence of germanys own political organ, while Allies would overwhelemed Germany without peace by simply having superior force and materials, many germans actually thought that war itself was success but defeat was from diffrent results.
God, you're speaking gibberish. They were battered and miserable on the western front. And their allies were worse off even.
Another possible scenario, replace communism with diffrent extreme ideology fueled by uncertainty resulted by economic crisis and public unrest on neighbouring countrys.
There is no ideology like that right now, and there are no revolutions unheard of before in human history attached to these nonexistant ideologies.
You have never had less of a leg to stand on then you do on this.
I think you're just responding because you "have to" even though you have nothing whatsoever to say or a point to make.
Still they consider themself as tribes, Tutsis might been ruling elite in history and considered farmer Hutu's their servants and when colinial age ended it was time for some payback.
Stop using the word "tribe", and read about the Belgian impact on this being the way it was.
I am bashing? What the hell its you who are underestimating it, you are saying that world would not give a shit if Libya would stop exporting oil.
Libya is exporting 20% of Saudi Arabias amount (who is worlds largest oil country)Can you even imagine what would happen to worlds oil prices if Saudi-Arabia would announce that it would cut its oil production by 20%?
Libya produces 2.2% of the total world total, and relies on what sales it has almost entirely economically speaking.
Tell me who stands to hurt the most from Libya ceasing sales.
You are so god damn ignorant.
Listen I make this easy for you and actually make link for you.

Congratulate yourself now, you are just a bit wiser than you were a moment ago. If you think that worlds largest military force is Burma's army then you need to sharpen up.
YOU said they had the world's biggest military force.
When did I say Burma had the world's biggest force?
Dictatorships like these have very much common infact, as long as China continues to support N-Korea and Burma and dictators dont want to give up power its not going change anytime soon.
Burma lives off China. That is their only lifeline.
Its awesome to have UN diplomat enlightening me…
Well nobody has to to actually follow the rules if they fail, atleast they learned their lessons and made next elections 'not so free'.
UN is freaking joke, all it can do is beg to Burma to behave and perhaps propose some sanctions against N-korea or Burma but China would most likely prevent such actions.
Yeah, China has really prevented to already existent severe sanctions against both countries.
