We are not talking about Europe here.
This is Africa.

I'm pleased to hear that. Neither did I.

Why?

Been there, done that.
Now, are you going to offer actual support for your statements?
Or at least start pointing to events with some potential narrative?

That really isn't necessary.
But by this may I assume that you have visited Africa, and can remark on your visit?

Here's one reason why condoms are not a lot of use in Africa. This is from a BBC News report in February 2004:

Africa sees rise in 'sex terror'
By Ania Lichtarowicz
BBC health correspondent, Johannesburg

HIV/Aids is being used as a weapon to control partners

More and more people across Africa are becoming victims of sexual terrorism, according to work presented at a high-profile sexual health conference.

The use of sex to control people is most often seen during conflicts.

But delegates at the first African Congress on Sexual Health and Rights heard that a new pattern is emerging.

Increasing numbers of people infected with HIV are deliberately passing the virus on to their partners on purpose, in order to make them more dependent.

[HIV/Aids is a very violent, vicious, angry means of controlling the individual - the issue is 'how can I keep this individual for me, and I'm willing to do it at any means' - Eugene Hughley, Sexual terrorism specialist]

In countries ravaged by conflict - for example Rwanda - sex has been used very effectively to terrorise and control.

Rape has always been used as a violent yet effective weapon of war.

It is physically and mentally scarring, not only for the victim but also for their families.

The power of sex

Yet war is not the only place where sexual terrorism can be found.

In societies where people have little control over their lives - like those living in poverty or where there are high levels of unemployment - sex becomes one of the few areas where individuals still have power.

"In our African custom, a man is always a head of the family, and what the man says it stays, no matter what," Bruce Errol, a resident of a South African township, told the BBC.

What is being seen more and more often is people deliberately infecting their partners with HIV - therefore making them less attractive to others and more dependent on them.

"I think HIV/Aids is used as a weapon to influence partners... in terms of their behaviour," says Eugene Hughley, a specialist on sexual terrorism.

"It is a very violent, vicious, angry means of controlling the individual... The issue is 'how can I keep this individual for me, and I'm willing to do it at any means'."

But women can also use sex as a weapon.

If they have been infected by someone they can take revenge on another man and infect them, and that is also being seen.

"Some men force their women to have unprotected sex," says Bruce Errol. "Those women sometimes, when they find out they're positive, they tend to take revenge on other men."

Psychologists at the conference accept that only considerable effort over many years will curb sexual terrorism, but they strongly believe that presently the best approach is to help those affected by it.

Nothing can save Africa. The west has poured billions into Africa ever since the Ethiopian famine of 1984, and I'm sure before that, and it hasn't made the slightest difference. We have to face the fact that Africa is not like the west and never will be.

The only people in Africa that we can help are the British African ex-colonists, like the former Rhodesians who are today facing many hardships. I believe they need their own homeland/state. I believe Britain should be at the forefront of supporting their needs.

There is another forum called the Dominion of Rhodesia which explains all about it. Here's the link:
