Saharan Africa loses around $95 billion a year due to gender inequality, jeopardizing the continent’s efforts for economic growth, according to a U.N. report launched Sunday.

Deeply-rooted structural obstacles such as unequal distribution of resources and political power, combined with social institutions that sustain inequality are holding back African women, and the continent, said the Africa Human Development Report 2016 by U.N. Development Program.

If gender gaps are closed in labor markets, education and health, it will accelerate the eradication of poverty and hunger, said UNDP Administrator Helen Clark. The report was launched during the two-day Tokyo International Conference of African Development in Kenya. …

Seven decades of this abomination and this is the best they can come up with. Defund and destroy.

(singing) Gender inequality costs sub-Saharan Africa $95 billion: UN...and I don’t care.

[Nextrush]

Quantifying political incorrectness is attractive to the New World Order corporatists of big government, big banks and big business.

[deadrock]

I am beginning to believe that our morality, and definitely our political ideologies, don’t port to different races/cultures.

[Thank You Rush]

Helen Clark: Check in with one of the Clinton Foundation affiliates. They have that all covered - not to worry!

[Da Coyote]

Wow.

Most impressive.

And, as we all know, that number must be correct.

After all, it comes from liberals.

You know, those folks who took all the dumb dumb studies courses in college.

Because that was all they could pass.

Gender inequality equals, but is not limited to, Shariah law.

Under Islam, genders are basically unequal, and this situation cannot be rectified so long as the Koran is the only authority to which the scholars of Islam may draw their rationalizations.

The Koran has no reference to either the Golden Rule or the Ten Commandments. the basis of law in much of the Western world, and by extension, into most of the non-Muslim part of the world that has extensive contact with the Judeo-Christian ethical conduct.

And “globull warming costs” Sub Saharan Africa $$XXX Billion

And “white privilege costs” SSA $$$XXX

Otherwise, SSA would be the wealthiest place on Earth

Oddly enough, they found that the dictatorships, non-existent democracy, tribal warfare, and 9th century societies have seemingly no effect at all.

Perennial govt parasite, Cheryl Mills, runs BlackIvy, a business operating in Sub-Sahara Africa. Mills' company, BlackIvy, is developing a privately-financed dry port that will be located 56 km outside of the Port of Dar es Salaam, and will use shuttle trains to take transit and upcountry cargo to and from the Port (BlackIvy spokeswoman Erin Pelton confirmed to Breitbart News).

“BlackIvy is focused on in-land logistics, not operating seaports,” Pelton added, denying that BlackIvy is running into opposition from the Tanzania Ports Authority.

So how did Cheryl Mills and BlackIvy, a brand new firm with no discernible track record of building ports, manage to become an overnight player in the East African energy market?

It turns out they had help from a company called Symbion Power, which was created to profit off rebuilding efforts in Iraq and Afghanistan after the US invasions.

Symbion Power happens to be a very good friend of Hillary Clinton cronies.

CONT.

Hillary Clinton visited Tanzania in June 2011. Where did she go to speak? The Symbion Power Plant in Dar Es Salaam, where she spoke in front of Symbion and General Electric (GE) logos. Soon after the speech, Clinton intervened in a business deal between Symbion and GE to help Symbion’s interests in Tanzania.

An attendee quietly captured Clinton on video after her speech chatting up business executives, including one from General Electric. “Hi, Chris. Nice to see you. Thanks for GE’s contributions (to the Foundation). I really appreciate it. You’ll have to tell Jeff Immelt — or, I’ll call him to tell him how much I appreciate it,” Clinton said to the General Electric official, referring to the GE CEO. http://littlesis.org/org/158171/BlackIvy_Group

It turns out Clinton’s former aides had some help from a company called Symbion Power, which was created to profit off rebuilding efforts in Iraq and Afghanistan after the U.S. invasions. Symbion Power happens to be a very good friend of Hillary Clinton’s.

BACKSTORY Hillary's pal, Sid Blumenthal was the conniving Clintons' bagman---a $325,000 employee of the Clinton Foundation, he had numerous paid side interests----promoting any number of foreign deals and schemes in which he had a financial interest.....many of which were predicated on the toppling of Libya's Khadaffi.

Blumenthal was ambidextrous---chronically emailing Hillary Libya foreign policy messages w/ one hand....his other hand firmly in the State Dept cookie jar.

In one confidential e-mail to Clinton, Blumenthal was clearly colluding w/ onetime Amb Joe Wilson (Valerie Plame's hubby) to help himself to the tax dollars in the State Dept cookie jar.

GAME ON Amb Wilson pumped himself up as a 'director' of Symbion Power---an outfit seeking millions of dollars in contracts from an obscure government agency chaired by Hillary....the Millennium Challenge Corp. (MCC)

In September 2010, Hillary's MCC awarded Symbion $47 million tax dollars for (cough) 'power projects in Tanzania.'

EVER WONDER how much of the $47 million tax dollars got to Tanzania....after the players divvied it up among Blumenthal, Wilson, the Clintons, Obama?

NOTE Millenium is also the source of the 100 million tax dollars Michele gave to Morocco "to teach Muslim girls" ===========================================

FREEPER ACTION PROJECT--DO THIS NOW: demand the Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC) books be opened. We demand to know the financial details and the scope and dimension of individuals connected to these outrageous State Dept giveaways.........govt parasites profiting at taxayers' expense.

Thanks for that. I will do it.

This OK with you?

Done.

Thank you for submitting your comments via my website. Your comments are very important to me and they will be answered as quickly as possible. As you know, there are many issues currently before Congress that concern us all. I receive thousands of messages each week seeking assistance, asking for information, expressing opinions, and suggesting solutions to our nation's current issues. Each of these emails, faxes, and letters are important to me in representing Idahoans and are carefully read and noted. Due to the high volume of correspondence coming to my office, I ask for your patience as I thoughtfully prepare an answer to your message. In this day of instant communication, we sometimes expect lightning-quick responses to our inquiries. Unfortunately, due to the high volume, I am not able to reply as quickly as we would both like. I appreciate your patience with this process and I look forward to providing you with as much information as I can about your area of concern.

[Liz]

Your message was spot-on....clear as a bell....did not mince words.

Too bad the Congressional jerk is so stupid.....could not answer in kind.

[disndat]

I’ll give him a little. It is Sunday after all. This is one of my senators.

[Liz]

Have at him, baby. And do not let up until you get the answers needed
about the State Dept's nefarious Millennium Challenge Corp (MCC slush fund).

[King Moonracer]

Is $95 billion before or after they mutilate thier genitals and turn them into bomb breeders?

[marron]

How about Saharan Africa? Are they OK with gender inequality in Saharan Africa? Or is that different somehow? If so, what could be the difference?

[stylin19a]

must be the 95 billion they are expecting but not getting from the U.S., because this article reads it differently.

Eliminate gender inequality = emasculate and disenfranchise men.
