Is anyone here knowledgeable of recent (the last 100 years) African history?
I grew up on a diet of adventure stories, both fictional and otherwise, centred around the white population of an otherwise ‘black’ Africa; prospectors, explorers, missionaries, and more recently the exploits of white mercenaries such as Mad Mike Hoare.
Whilst I realise Africa is dangerous in some aspects, especially in the more tropical regions, and much of the old world that I grew up with is now long dead, do any remnants of the white colonialism still thrive? I’d really like to know if disaffected mercenaries still roam the jungle and hard-done by mines still operate miles out in the bush. It really is a life I’d like to lead as a young Brit, but am I just dreaming?
Thanks a lot.
Hi young Davey. In Ghana, W. Africa, colonialist remnants do still survive if not thrive – my partner, 63, is one. Not sure about the mercenaries, but mines (for gold) are still operating miles out in the Bundu (not sure about spelling, but it means bush). Ghana might suit you if you don’t mind impoverishment, squalor (again, sp.?), and the odd bit of rancour – and oodles of well-meaning Yanks seeking to get in touch with the land of their forebears (which largely consists of learning to tribal-dance). The air-fare to Accra, the capital, is mean (£500ish return) and the jabs just as expensive, but hey, why not give it a whirl. If you’ve got a hide like a Rhinoceros, maybe Ghana is for you. Good luck with whatever you do.
