Africa, it seems, is cursed by the destructive tribal and/or ethnic factors which are at play in the governments of some of the Continent's governments. This is the case amongst the territorially and/or demographically largest as well as the smallest countries. We see tribal and ethnic factors at play in large countries such as South Africa, Nigeria,  and the Central African Republic, and we see them in smaller countries such as Libya, Mali, and the newly created South Sudan.

Before we had Japan earthquake and Fukushima disaster, there was the catastrophic 2004Tsunami in the Indian Ocean, which caused massive damage in lost lives and property to the surrounding affected countries.
