Africa emerging!

Tuesday, November 24th, 2009

Africa is slowly finding its way into the new multipolar world politics. A lot of things are not going so well in Africa, but a better picture is slowly emerging. Money is coming in from many sources.

The Chinese president and his people have been there several times lately, Obama has roots there and has placed Africa on his agenda, the French are trying to keep up the old influences. Improvements are on on the way in the administration of many trouble spots.

Africa has many resources of value to others – metals and minerals, oil. With an ever hungrier world farmland is growing in importance and may be the greatest resource of all.

Will Africa benefit from its strong position? Surely its people deserve a good deal!
