        Good morning, you think so? Each region of Africa has its unique complexities. Why do you think the Latin American experience is similar?

        Because I have seen the parallels, worked and lived there. We learn by sorting out the similarities and differences based on reality

        If you have an article on your observations & your analysis could you please share it, so that one can better understand your perspective?

        Tonnes of material so we need to be specific. It's the reason Brazil has a branch of its agricultural research agency in Ghana

        No it’s not, and it is not functioning as intended. Unfortunately

        How much presence do we have in their region? The little we know is mediated through Europe.

        Wouldn't it be nice to develop systems out of African Traditional mechanisms rather than adopt foreign systems?

        Don’t know much but it seams Latin America is still on the rocky road to democracy. With corruption and dictatorship still ripe.

        Imperial governments must emerge. I believe the challenge is always in the laws drafted to suit certain groups. When will Kenya mature?
