The Wagner group have taken over due to the Frenc being asked/told to leave. The Wagner group are also in Mozambique where ISIS has just about taken over the north where the Oil and Gasfields are

The SA army went in and have been chased away by ISIS like dogs running away.

The Chinese come in with no military and just smiles and then slowly take over the country

They wine and dine a few government officials and then the rest just about become slaves to them.

ISIS has training camps in the Eastern Cape Province of SA and the government knows about this and does nothing would rather protect them.

When all the African states became independant in the 60ties all were self sufficient in feeding themselves and countries like Kenya and Zimbabwe exported food

Now most import food. If push comes to shove SA can still feed itself ,for how long I do not know

SA exported about 8 million Tons of corn last year.

Here in Thailand the same

Thailand exports food but many years ago imported and I think one of the best examples is India. My fatehr was always scathingabout the country not being able to look after itself. He died in 1979 ,and look at India today from a jetplane to food I need not even speak or write about China where millions of people died of hunger due to Mao great purges and today ???

I trained africans for many years and that is a story for another day

It is just a question of time before SA collapses.

I do not have an answer for the collapse ofAfrica which will satisfy the world and i will be seen as a racist. One question to you as an European

Who developed Europe?. Then we can get to the USA Canada

and then South America Haiti Trinidad etc

I have mentioned Liberia to you

I agree that the West will lose out but one matter I toatally disagree with you is Lavrof tour in Africa

Russia will never havea real foothold in africa

Africa is to primitive and backward for that to happen the Russians do not understand this or if they do they are playing mum

Wherever they have been they have never had a foothold Angola. Zimbabwe, Nigerai

Mali Sudan etc

Who in my opnion is going to get a very good foothold is China The Chinese loan money to countries and when they cannot repay they take over the facility and bring in their own people

I have seen this in Zambia, Djibouti , parts of Somalia etc

I have seen and heard from friends of mine in Zambia how they control the mines they are involved in

By the way I have no problem with that neither do any of my friends

They take no nonsense from the African and he works like a slave, something that is contrary to his lifestyle of begging and doing nothing.

The Chinese are the only people who are going to get Africans off their backsides and being productive

It should have happened 60 years ago.

You can call me a racist but I am not one. The skin color is just coincidental.

I worked for 52 years in SA as first cop and then an investigator for a laarge Mining house Angl American and Debeers and went to Zambia etc to work there for my company and I experienced the african way of doing things and I could never tolerate it or accept that

I just hope the Chinese take over sooner than later but the Russians are a lost case in Africa

You may disagree with me .You saw Cape Town which is a first world city tehesame as JHB and Pretoria was.

I actually like Lavrof and the way he speaks and what he says but he does not know the african

I could continue but I think you get the gist of my comment.
