      More than a century, and they continue to exploit developing countries still now… hope the EU will refund and repair the damages of colonialism and, if they don’t do it willingly (from time to time a proposal at the European Parliament goes in that direction but is abandoned afterwards) that they will be demanded to!

        Even if Europe never offers any refund or repair, Africa would still be much better off if only the neocolonial West, Russia, and China would just stop interfering in African nations and exploiting them.

        Why would that be the EU’s responsibility? Most of its members never were colonizers.

          Ok so just Spain, Portugal, France, Italy, Germany, Sweden, Norway, Belgium, the Nederlands and Denmark. Agreed! Hope to see that happen, though.

            Don’t hold your breath lol. Btw did you just forget about the biggest colonizer of them all because they’re not in the EU anymore?

              Yes I was thinking of the EU members only because the UK won’t be affected by any directive of the European institutions.
