It’s true though—Libya’s a reasonably functional nation, albeit one that’s been ruled by a lunatic for a long time, and they will probably be a reasonably functional nation again under whoever wins this scramble.

Somalia is genuinely in shambles, no longer really a nation at all at this point.

There’s a difference between nation state and civilization. Bringing civilization to Africa has colonial overtones that I’m not comfortable with.
