Civilization or Barbarism?

Taking the title of Cheik Anta Diop's popular book, we must ask the question when we see this:

What's that, you say?

Oh that's an alleged member of the Seleka fighter who had overthrown the government (ahem…Ukraine) because of course they wanted what they wanted when they wanted it (ahem Ukraine). But this isn't about comparisons to the Ukraine. What this is about is my commentary a few months ago:

So half a globe away, in yet another black populated area of the world, French (read: white) troops are needed to restore "stability". Am I the only African bothered by this? Why is it, time after time, White folks need to be flown in to one of the places that we supposedly "run" in order to restore "stability" (among other things)?
Apparently this behavior occurred right after an alleged ceremony of national unity.

Yeah it looks like that national unity thing is starting off just swell. Let's set our watches to see when the next coup is to start.
