Colonisation is OVER

European countries have colonised and used Africa's land and people for some time, from the Portuguese to the British, and yet we've stopped trying to "take over" African countries.  Contemporary times seem to be focused on reparations or dealing with the consequences of colonisation, instead of continued use and exploitation of the land.  Why?  Is the land that shitty that agriculture won't continue to thrive?  Are the people that lazy that they can't force everyone to work towards industrialising civilization? 

Also, how can we terraform dry and arid land into fertile soil in order to grow crops?  This applies to Africa, the middle east, and parts of asia.  There is so much unused land, so why can't it be infused with nutrients, fertilizer, nitrates, etc.

Huh? Let me clarify: Many Africans will tell you that colonization didn't end until maybe FIFTEEN years ago, if you want to get exact. Regardless, the effects of HUNDREDS of years of colonization aren't going to be reversed in 20 years, especially not to the exent Africa was colonized. Also: A vast amount of that continent's wealth is still in the hands of the white as the fruits of modern colonization itself.

Try reading a book sometime.
