http://edition.cnn.com/2013/05/30/business/africa-new-cities-konza-eko/index.html Unsurprisingly, the previous thread was deleted because it "didn't make criteria". Show some pictures of some black people sagging and add no commentary what so ever however and its A-OK. Anyway while the west collapses under the weight of its fat politicians and corporations most countries in the world are investing in projects much like these. Sad. Thoughts?
Roughly one third of the economy of the USA and Canada is volunteerism! If a nation such as Zimbabwe that has rather messed up their national currency cooperated with non-profit organizations it would be amazing the effect that they could have both on the economy of Africa as well as the USA! http://www.christianforums.com/t7701455/ North American churches should each have their own currency!
Every time I look at Africa I see shiny cities that are little more than Potemkin villages supported by debt and exportation of raw materials. The value added goods are imported. When the raw materials go away, the corrupt military stages a coup, or the foreign workers leave everything rusts away. Maybe it will be different this time but I'm glad I don't live there. http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424053111904060604576570541250028496.html
