Reminds me of Idi Amin kicking out all of the Indians that ran the business of Uganda, and then having to beg them to come back:

and the return
http://www.nytimes.com/2003/08/17/world/once-outcasts-asians-again-drive-uganda-s-economy.html

"Asians owned 90 per cent of Uganda's businesses and when they left the economy collapsed. But the current president, Yoweri Museveni, is the West's second most popular African leader after Nelson Mandela. He has opened the economy to foreign investment and is encouraging the exiles to return."

I worked with a few white south africans after apartheid and they gave me a different perspective than that which is put forth in the media.

If you want a perspective, look into the Zimbabwe dollar. At one point they made the US dollar their official currency because their dollar was literally lworth less than toilet paper. It was cheaper to wipe your but with their money than to buy a roll.

At one point $1 million in Zim money was about $188 US.

They printed a $100 Trillion note

Below from wiki

In the Guardian, on 18 July 2008, a report on Zimbabwe's inflation, said that an egg costs Z$50 billion (GBP 0.17, USD 0.32), and it showed adverts for prizes of Z$100 trillion in a Zimbabwean derby and Z$1.2 quadrillion ($1,200,000,000,000,000.00: approx. £2,100; $4,200) in a lottery. It also showed a monthly war pension currently is Z$109 billion (37 pence, 74¢), shops can only cash cheques if the customer writes double the amount, because the cost will go up by the time the cheque has cleared, and people can only withdraw a maximum of Z$100 billion from cashpoints.[66]

to hel! with the sorry things, let'em starve. one of, if not the richest resource continent on the planet and the damn things are still one step from the stone age.starvation, disease, corruption have taken over 75/80 % of the whole place.colonial rule was the best thing that happened to africa. the things would ( and most likely are) still be eating each other if other countries had not came in and took control .

 

[SOLGardener]

Still are eating each other. I recently read an expedition blog from a Dutch or Danish couple that came to Angola. They came to a missiona and the missionary told them of areas they needed to stay clear of because of cannibalism.

No you won't there is a war on cash and instead of paper you will receive electrons... Traceable, stoppable and individually unattainable (to control) and just as worthless as ink and paper.

%them.

They were all for kicking whitey out until they figured out that whitey was the reason for their prosperity.

Let the sorry bastards starve.
