So thousands of Africans are dying to get back into a foreign run colony.
While this is a huge tragedy, one must also conclude: the mass pressure applied in the 1950's & 60's to set the colonies free, has led to genocide, mass refugees, broad-based corruption and endless guerilla wars under dictators.

They are voting with their feet (and their lives!):
Colonialism was better. Should we rewrite our history books and scratch out the politically correct dribble?
