Africa Re-colonised….

Along the years of my traveling in Africa I was always observant to demographic variations among air travelers and passengers, from empty seats, to Franco-phone African talking about “L’Afrique”, to the Europeans who think they shall get the elephants to mount them, to Americans who just came out of World Bank pockets as the solution, to the missionaries talking about the despair, yet collect more donations from the needy, to the Chinese who do not speak anyone except the Chinese!!!!. The problem this time, they were almost 35% of the passengers on the flight.

I always judge people with their belief system, and none I awe more than those who adopt the following proverbs saying:

• If you are patient enough you shall see the corps of your enemy floating down the river.
• Don’t give me a fish, but teach me how to fish a fish.

I believe that the above two proverbs are the inherent rules in the Chinese belief system and the main strategies that they use to conquer the world. China has adopted same strategy against USA and now it is watching the American Corp struggling to survive down the financial turbulent and turbid river.

The Chinese danger is that they are looking at “the bottom of the pyramid”, and they are uprooting the grass-roots’ opportunities in Africa. Those who have some small trading jobs here and there…..I am not saying the Chinese are wrong in their strategy to invade and colonies Africa peacefully. It the solution to their problems, where a low productivity, corruption coupled with low population density. It seems African to be the solution to all Chinese current social and demographic problems; but it seems that the African countries their and governments have lost contact with and vision of their grass-roots and they cannot hear anymore their hunger roaring

The reader may agree that those governments need the blessing of the new up coming master, but the problem that this master is not coming with new technology or development techniques, the Chinese are coming with ethnic replacement… they are creating closed communities competing with small traders, and they are financially supported by the their government, through subsidiaries schemes and incentives,

How can the poor and the helpless grass-root Africans compete with that?….at least when they used to import from china and sell in their mother land and continent, they had a job then, but now with the demographic replacement of the Africans by Chinese is dangerous, especially when they are up-rooting the citizens from their jobs, then they will create a monopoly of production, supply and afterwards ….politics

Wake up Africa and “don’t inhale”…

Politicians as economic good….

Tomorrow the world celebrates the International Day for the Eradication of Poverty (October 17^th) by turning a lot of middle class people into poor. This sacrifice to the blood sucking poverty is a pledge to let major financiers and board directors survive the markets crash and maintain their mansions in the Riviera and alike.

The same head of states and leaders who rushed and instantly committed a lot of money and made budgets available to support and save their friends and golf-mates in the financial institutions, dodged committing same amounts for social needs, medical and education security for urban poor communities, in the name of market dynamics and finance mechanisms. Suddenly all the cash is made available to bail their financiers from their crisis.

From the preceding and by logical deduction, it is obvious that financing political campaigns is the best investment in the market and politicians are the best economic good that money can buy.

I would call on all governments to make available a list of the major share-holders and the annual accruals and benefits of all persons sitting on the boards of directors of those stumbling financial institution, for the tax payers to know which fat cows they salvaged.

Tax payers should be proud that they saved such miserably rich people; who embezzled millions of dollars on golf tournaments, cocktail parties and bribing their venal politicians all over the world. They should take pride at every roadside and celebrate the poverty day by embracing poverty themselves and their siblings for years to come.
