The problem isn't free trade in Africa, because there isn't any. National gov'ts buy up all production and sell it in export markets, to bring in foreign exchange, which permits them to play at being developed countries by building more offices for patronage jobs, but using foreign companies to build everything. Thanks decimon.

That reminds of the NYC jewish “ghetto” where they sewed clothes “peice work” style. Often in their cramped tenement apartments. It was not the way to get ahead much unless you were the boss.

Gee, interesting how when all is said and done these places aren’t very free at all.
