The mess in Belgium today is something like in Rawanda of 90s minus the genocide . And it's not something that's highlighted these days by West for all their chest-beating about strifes/poverty worldwide. For about 5 months there's been no govt in Belgium. There's a huge internal strife between French speaking Beligians in South versus the Dutch speaking Flanders in North. French speaking areas live in abject poverty with unemployment as high as 20% while rest of country is doing extremely well.
It's a region to be watched.
