Stereotypes and misconceptions. This map shows the most Googled questions about African countries. Sadly, it shows the worldwide web users' view that Africa is impoverished. But puzzlements: Western Sahara "expensive"? Republic of Congo "unhappy"? We've got education work to do!
Safe to say our misery started from what was supposed to be our biggest blessing: diamond. Look at us now...
from the book #TheLootingMachine.
In #Zimbabwe, dealers & fixers are called business people. #TheLootingMachine The country is a crime scene.#ZimbabweCorruption

Politics & private business have fused. Winning a presidential election costs millions of dollars. 'I am extremely worried about a political system where the voters are starving & the politicians buy votes from natural resource companies. Is that democracy?' #TheLootingMachine
For every woman who dies in Childbirth in France, a hundred die in the desert nation of Niger, a prime source of the Uranium that fuels France's Nuclear-powered Economy #TheLootingMachine
In his first book, The Looting Machine, Tom Burgis exposes the truth about the African development miracle: for the resource states, it's a mirage.

Our forefathers never fought for independence,
What they did is to sell us to the highest bidder in order take over so they can turn us into dignified slaves
Yes, voting slaves.

My current read during the Social Distancing era. #TheLootingMachine What are you reading? Share a pic of the book if you can.
This video (I came across randomly) reflects my #currentread #thelootingmachine by @tomburgis. African leaders & a few elite enrich themselves through 'Resource rent', at all costs. Mostly, civil war ensues, leaving the nations in poverty while the multinationals burgeon.
Guys, Im super excited!! @TomBurgis is coming on as a guest on my podcast!!!
