I don't see you doing anything to help our country.
Except sitting at home, naked, eating twinkies, rubbing your hands together going "Heh. Target Destroyed. Mission Accomplished." Oh wait. that's not helping.

Man I'm sure that title has you all pumped for some bland knowledge! Sadly this is not that. Around the 50s it appears that people from both America and Europe began to settle and start thriving communities in places like Africa and the Middle East. It then appears that they left these communities behind, buildings, cars, everything and just cleared out. What was the reason behind this? Case and point right here. You see buildings like this all over the place in these countries, so I ask why would they suddenly decide to clear out of here for what seems like no reason. Your thoughts Flood?

That's the thing, if anything settlements like this would bring wealth and with wealth in a region comes stability. Why abandon stability?

Recon Number 54 -
If they are still looking, then while holding the snarl, I let drool start to drip from my mouth, I stand, curl my fingers into claws and with a hunched over crouch, I then make slow and deliberate steps towards them. When I get close enough, I let them hear my agonized and gasping growls and then, if they continue to stare, when I get within arm's reach? I kiss them on the nose, and run away giggling.

Usually because of regional instability. Typically it would have been a civil war or some form of conflict.
Why would you choose to live in a country where foreigners and an ethnic group are being massacred (Rwanda)

The Chinese are taking it up now though, All those precious Metals for mining.

Studies show that men think about sex every 7 seconds. I do my best to eat hotdogs in under 6, just so things don't get weird.

Please allow me to introduce Myself
I'm a man of wealth and taste
I've been around for a long, long year
Stole many a man's soul and faith

"Thriving" communities may be an overstatement. The hotel you linked was abanoned after several years of unprofitable operation, with a civil war being the final straw. Nothing was mysteriously abandoned, the owners tried to bleed a rock and failed.
