One my Indian relatives used to own a shop in Tanzania before his family was kicked out and having their property confiscated. Authorities wouldn't lift a finger and the shop ended up being burned to the ground a few months later.

I think the Chinese are seriously into Africa. After all they have ~100 million men they can't marry. If they ship 10% it's already a significant number.

All cell phones have a metal in them which is almost exclusively mined in Africa.

Amazing bit of trivia! Is it bull****?

China isn't trying to create colonies and instead it is trying to get jobless people and dirt farmers out of China.

Uhuh. You mean like Australia?

Niobium and my understanding is that securing this metal was the root cause for the Rwanda genocide.

This is good thing.

We are in a chaotic time where the world will mix up to a point where we will no longer recognise what country someone is from.

At the moment we have all these ingredients, some taste bad, some taste good, some are just for colour, and we're only now just starting to really put the ingredients together, it will boil, but will calm down during the simmering, when the simmering settles, you will be left with a delicious peaceful world.

I saw this fact advertised on a little guilt-trip presentation at London Zoo, of all places. They were saying how evil it is to change phones regularly because of the environmental impact of mining that metal.

As I have a fairly ancient mobile phone I didn't have to feel guilty at all about that one.

People emigrating from China? Who would have thought?

Most diamonds in the world come from Africa.

And your example isn't too great. What about the middle east and all their oil? You think they did good for them selves?

Looks like the Chinese are implementing their Third Plan of invasion.

Plan One is The Great Offensive.

Plan Two is The Slash 'n' Burn Retreat.

Plan Three is The Infiltration Of Small Groups Of One To Two Million People Across The Border.

Not to forget oil, not only in North Africa (think Libya, Algeria) but also elsewhere (Sudan, Nigeria for example)

Sudan's production is rather small. The continental shelf around the Gulf of Ghana is were the real new discoveries are located.
