It’s interesting...

on the one hand, I found an article lamenting the high youth unemployment due to better-Educated Kenyans getting all the jobs and Tanzania’s population having a very high percentage of yourh.

Then there’s another article lamenting child labor in the mines... so the NGOs are pushing for a crackdown on mines, especially “unlicensed” ones, as if taking the jobs away will then give kids more time to study. The problem I see with that is that the crackdown will put the heaviest pressure on locally owned mines while multinational mines will have no problem getting licenses and bribing inspectors, so eventually all the land will be in foreign hands, and jobless kids still won’t be able to study.

Of course as it happens, the Clintons have been nosing around Tanzania and this is also where one of Hillary’s helpers has been investing... the one with a company called Black Ivy.

Would not be surprised, what with all the natural gas being discovered. Norwegians are there too.

Just skimming thru links bere... looks like the Clinton Foundation’s been involved in this project in Tanzania that’s supposed to be a cooperative arrangement between government, the Masai herdsmen, and various other interests including Thompson Safaris. As a result over 25% if the land is now in government hands. Sounds like some think it is turning into one of those old Cherokee land swindles.

Sounds a little like what’s being done in the US western states too:

Given the current birthrates of the continent vs. the PRC, that seems highly unlikely.
