Foreigners Own All The Mining Companies In The Country Says Sierra Leone First Lady

That makes no sense at all! That has to come to a halt! This belongs to the Africa and the African people of Sierra Leone.... Not a one of those other countries would let Africa come and own a great resource in their country..... Truly Heartbreaking! Very upsetting... Theft is bad! No leader should be allowing this.

[@frankyyaggabot6222]

Of course foreigners own all the mining companies there. The only way in History African Peoples have ever removed resources from the soil en masse is through slavery. You can either remove resources using the technologies and machineries invented in the West or you can do it by hand and blood!

[@ManOfAlkebulan]

We are always talking. Almost all other African leaders said the same things, but nothing happens. Talk is cheap. Right now I am trying to create a Black Business Fund in my small country. I suggest every Black person to stop enriching people who hate us (that's basically every other non-black community) and pull in resources together like we use to as a village in the old days. Africa needs to create its own mining companies, manufacturing plants factories,facilities etc and take tis stolen land back. International courts and countries have absolutely no say nor jurisdiction nor humanity to dictate to us. They are thieves who are giving a tiny amount of aid from the hundreds if not thousands of trillions of dollars they stole from the African continent. Less talk and more action. Are there any African proverbs that have a similar meaning?

Hi

[@TT-rk4uy]

All African countries should at least implement the mining law at least that of Eritrea (or better) which modelled after Australian mining laws. To put it simply looks like this: 10% - free royalist for Eritrea 30% - Eritrea has the ability to purchase and own the stake. Plus the companies pay company tax, I think close to 30% of profit. In total, the government make at least 50% or more in the end.., Plus they have to do lots of other things for the people that work there, health insurance, health coverage, education etc., Look it up Bisha mining in Eritrea … but the west they cooked up “human rights abuse” to force the company out of Eritrea (because it’s making bad precedence for other countries) to had to sell this profitable venture to the Chinese and leave. The Chinese companies have to honour the deal, and continue to operate. This is not all good, even these deal has its problems. One if the biggest problem is, all the mining raw material is scooped up to get processed outside. This creates basically hole in the ground, it destroy the roads and it will have long term environmental and ecosystem impact for the land. Eritrea since adapted the policy and it has implemented a new law which states, production at least 80% of it must be done locally and not shipping any raw materials out. It will create jobs and the people that work and operate he mine at least 80% must be locals and need to get paid fair wages … Eritrea can afford to do this because : 1. It has peace 2. It has a very strong army, one of the largest and strongest army in Africa How you ask… the are is the whole population (any youth needs to go to national service for at least 2 years with military training (6 months) and the rest serving in all other sectors of the economy and national development. Look it up the African development president visit of Eritrea and what he observed of the type of engineering is being build in Eritrea by core Eritrean engineers. As a result in Eritrea today 1. Healthcare is free 2. Education is free And the most important of all, Eritrea does not receive any aide (no USAid ) or other foreign NGOs allowed which are not sanctioned by the government (like the UN agencies, which operate under the strict Eritrean government priorities). So what do you hear about Eritrean the news, it’s the North Korea of Africa, its slavers, its free labour, human rights abuse, sanction this, sanction that, trying to break the government by making it impossible for people to make decent living. So they youth flee the country because of this propaganda and “harsh government” they are fed for better future in the west. All Eritrean asylum seekers are accepted by default by the UNHCR which forced (and plan to depopulate) the country and the power of its army so to make it a failed state. The government tried and I think it finally is able to stand to all this and survive. Now things are getting better because other countries such as China and Russia and standing with the country and they are investing. Italy has also making very important economic deal and it will start to participate. The west and the world finally understood that, Eritrea a small country with a large access to the Red Sea (1200 km) have secured and provide safety to the most important shipping route to the world, and are mending their ties.

This is the worst government we as Sierra Leonean have had. Under their watch, our currency is at its worst rate against the dollar since independence.
