Africa Aims to Cash In on Critical Minerals | Africa Amplified

[@kwektans]

Step 1. Follow Indonesia’s strategy of banning the export of raw materials and encourage the processing of the raw materials locally for export.

The things that Africa tries to do don't usually work and this is because they try to do them via overpowered governments. The blueprint of failed African states is always to centralize as much of the rewards and control over the systems they create as possible as well as securing external revenue streams for that center so that even if they fail to do their job it won't affect them. As a result most of the low level players don't really benefit from doing their job and the high level players aren't affected enough if the project fails so everyone starts crying about a lack of political will when the whole thing inevitably fails to launch. I hope we have learned.

The Ethiopian Birr has been devalued by 37% (direct reduction in purchasing power of ordinary Ethiopians). This is in exchange for USD 20B (in loans, to pay off loans!!!!!!) Further entrapping the Ethiopian Nation. This is reported like it is something to be celebrated!?

Exactly but this channel is owned by the IMF and they tell them what to say.

[@mansasithole]

I was thinking the exact same thing... The media has a way of making you believe something is a good idea by framing it in a positive light. But anyone with critical thinking skills sees through the multi layered language. The first question one should ask is what are loans for? We are celebrating being given loans to pay off loans to the same people giving us more loans and then the west goes off and says China was trying to debt trap Africa when we are already so heavily indebted to the and till today we are still trying to pay off loans taken by colonial governments. Loans colonial governments got often in order to buy weapons to continue oppressing us. You can't tell me this game ain't rigged

Reforms and depoliticize, E- Procurement, screening for physical and financial investment projects for everyone would help with transparency and accountability would spur growth and development in the continent which is endowed with natural resources. Cases studies to look at would be in Chile, South Korea, Costa Rica, Colombia and Georgia with advancement in technology

Botswana should be cutting and polishing majority of diamonds it produces instead of shipping them rough to other countries. That alone would employ 100 000s of people. That is a lot of income for a population of 2.7 million people. 80% of all mined diamonds are used in industry tools so Botswana should tell foreign industrial companies to set up factories in Botswana.

[@tshepo7122]

They’re trying but for whatever reason it’s not working out

[@Moabi4]

@@tshepo7122 are they trying? I doubt it. India is not a major diamond mining country and they cut and polish over 90% of global diamonds. That is jobs that should be in Botswana. If India which doesn't mine much diamonds can take 90% share of diamond polishing and cutting, what is stopping Botswana from at least polishing and cutting 90% of diamonds mined in Botswana.

Nonsense. How can people who doesn't know themselves or think for themselves ever develop? These people have so much love and respect for Caucasians that they don't even value themselves. The moment Africans begins to respect themselves and start building industries, that's when I will respect them.
