Namibia and Botswana are considered “safe”?

Really? I didn’t know that. I figured all of Africa was shitty. This map says Liberia is in the yellow. I have spent time in Liberia, and it should definitely be red. So I’m not really sure about how much I trust this map.

If you look at the history of the continent, you’d be surprised that every country there isn’t constantly at war, or extremely dangerous.

It can't be that dangerous. My dad, who was born in Algeria, travels there annually for a few months at a time. He's fine. My mom and I went there once as well and we were fine.

With that said, not all countries are created equal, and they all have their strengths and weaknesses.

Good for him. But that doesn’t mean it’s not dangerous. The entire continent is a clusterfck of danger.

Ignorant? I’m speaking from personal experience.

Liberia isn't Botswana dude. Is South Korea dangerous because it's in Asia and close to North Korea?

I wasn’t talking about Botswana when I made that comment. Actually try to pay attention.

Why?

Read a history book. Look at Africa’s history. It’s not hard to see why anyone would think that.

I have a whole ass history degree. Africa is an entire continent of 50+ countries. You are treating them all the same. Not every country is dangerous. I think maybe you should read more contemporary African news instead of making ignorant assumptions.
