Why should I care about that hellhole? That continent has significant natural resources, but they still live like savages. I say, let them and leave MY tax dollars alone.

From http://www.pewforum.org/2011/01/27/future-of-the-global-muslim-population-regional-sub-saharan-africa/

“The Muslim population in sub-Saharan Africa is projected to grow by nearly 60% in the next 20 years, from 242.5 million in 2010 to 385.9 million in 2030”

“By 2030, 17.6% of the world's Muslims are expected to be living in sub-Saharan Africa, up from 15% in 2010.”

Why am I not surprised?

I heard they had big problems with electrifying projects in Africa before, locals were stealing the cables and selling it on the black market.

Talk to anyone who has ever tried to do an infrastructure project in Africa. The amount of bribes required to do anything, ANYTHING, positive... is just immense. Once you start building, then materials begin to disappear... even those that have been installed. So, you hire security... who then start helping their friends to pilfer the hardware, while preventing others from getting it. When you finally finish, way over budget and way past deadline, you leave, feeling a sense of accomplishment, as you watch some people get some reliable clean water for the first time in years... only to get an email 6 weeks later informing you that the installation has been destroyed by some group who didn't want another group to have the asset.

The phrase that is used all over the continent when these thing happen... and they happen DAILY... "Africa wins again"... meaning that the land and the people will always make sure that even the best-laid plans of civilized humankind will never bear fruit.

Let Africa Sink

So we borrow billions from the Chinese, to give to African "public-private partnerships" (i.e. whoever can bribe the governments in question) to buy electrical equipment from China. About the only thing missing is funneling money to the Clinton Crime Foundation.

Why are we borrowing money and paying for anything in Africa? We are worse than dead broke. The homo Muslim socialist in the white hut is a national disaster.

Nothing to see here.

Just the Republican party proving once again that it needs to be utterly destroyed so that the citizens of this country can have a party that will actually represent their interests.
