        I’m happy about this. I’d prefer African countries creating an infrastructure fund and engaging in more creative economic and business initiatives than the previous course.

        Wrong. Africa is the answer to its problems. We've resources. Look at what Gaddafi did to Libya before the West brutally dethroned and massacred him using NATO.

        By the time China is done with Africa we wouldn’t know what hit us. Africa is now the United States of China.
