Should Europeans Colonize Africa?

I think you New Worlders have a bigger problem with African descended people.

Yes because the Maghreb is physically separated from africa right

and no in my country there are very few blacks. the vast majority of non-white immigrants are south and east asians. same with australia.

You really can't colonize North Africa. The people there would continue to resist as a collective force, and it would be similar to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict only more magnified, and they will not cease until they will remove the colonists from their homelands. It was well known that the Berber tribes in North Africa did not welcome the European colonists with open arms. European settlments were often attacked by the Berber tribesmen, and this was a clear message to the Europeans to leave their lands. However the only area of North Africa was to be colonized was the Canary Island, where miscegenation occurred between local Gaunache females and Iberian males, and many Canarians display the North African features.

Thus colonizing North Africa is rather a fantasy and if one it becomes a reality it would end up being a nightmare.

As tempting as it sounds, I don't like the idea of colonising inhabitant lands. The thing with Africa is that it's quite annoying just looking at all the wasted potential of that continent. If we look at similar places such as Australia we can see how Europeans could have made it. If only....

It's a shame that Madagascar isn't uninhabited, that'd be a nice place to settle. The Ethiopian and Kenyan Highlands along with South Africa and Rhodesia look suitable too, it's just a shame about the people.

It'd probably be better for Russia to just open up Southern Siberia to European settlers as the climate (presumably) warms. It has falling birth rates but is actually underpopulated unlike most of Europe.

Us, Europeans should take over the world. Let's send Eastern-Europeans to colonize Africa and Asia, thus increasing the European presence there and improving native Europe.

Why only Eastern Europeans?

They cause problems in Europe. For instance, my country is full of Eastern-European immigrants and they're the cause of most problems here. Crime, HIV etc. you name it.
