Absolute Garbage showing deep geo-political naivety.

Tell me something. Why has the west not ''partnered'' with Botswana, all these years?

They tick all the right boxes - virtually corruption-free, blessed with huge diamond deposits, a stable, functional political system, a highly educated population, decent infrastructure, and throughout the 80s, 90s and early 2000s, Africa's fastest growing economy.

So? What happened? Why did the west not ''partner'' with them to turn them into another Singapore or South Korea, by pouring investment funds in, and opening up western markets to Botswana manufactures without tariffs?

Of course it never happened. Botswana throughout the last 30+ years, has sent countless trade and investment delegations abroad offering all sorts of concessions for ''partnership'', to no avail. They remain short of capital, and cannot move to the next level of becoming genuine industrial producers.

UNTIL YOU PEOPLE UNDERSTAND THAT THE WEST LONG AGO decided that AFRICA was to be their source of raw materials and nothing else, you will keep losing your way. Until you understand that the west are not your ''friends and brothers'', and ''partners'', but are your RIVALS, and that you need to come together and work in unity as AFRICANS, in order to counter their machinations and schemes, you will keep losing your way.

Go and study the HISTORY of western/African relations. It's been one based on economic exploitation. THEY do not intend to see that stop, as it has benefited them hugely. Why do you think they are involved in the assassination of African leaders? Like Thomas Sankara, Patrice Lumumba, Murtala Muhammed etc? Such progressive leaders are a threat to their 'established order' of African dependency. YOU need to understand the game. Because right now YOU, as Africans, are being played.

You need to rid yourself of the notion that the blame for the west's behaviour lies on you. That if you were somehow 'better' - less corrupt, with better infrastructure etc etc, that the west will ''take you serious''. This shows a total lack of understanding of the impulses driving western hegemony. THEIR SUCCESS is almost directly tied to your having those ''problems''. So they will fight tooth and nail to ENTRENCH and EXACERBATE those problems in your societies. This is why they have historically supported African autocrats, dictators, and kleptocrats like Mobutu, Obiang, IBB and co.

So if you cannot understand that their reasoning is wholly economic and strategy based, you will keep seeing yourself as their ''partner'' while they kick your backside at every turn. Wake up!!!

DUDE, Indians are POORER THAN AFRICANS!!!!

http://www.primepost.in/more-poor-in-india-than-africa/

They have a growing industrial sector, but poverty, illiteracy, and underdevelopment still affect hundreds of millions of Indians.

The only reason the west ''respects'' India is simply because it is a huge country with a 1.3 billion population, and a single central govt, which represents a massive market. They can't afford to antagonize a govt that rules over 1.3 billion people.

If India was like Africa - split into 50 'independent' nations, all the west would do is what they do in Africa. Pick and choose where to invest, and ignore, sabotage the others etc. So they have a very different strategic relationship with India.

If Africa became a Single country like India, THAT would make a huge change. The west would be FORCED to ''respect'' Africa, because that would mean 1.2 billion people plus all the continent's resources, under a single govt. They could never afford to antagonize that govt, and would similarly concede to its demands for technology transfer, like they did with India. So yes, size bequeaths power.

Biafra would be like Sierra Leone or Liberia, who also have natural resources, but are used as a playground for western corporate interests. Too small to matter.

What's the population and size of Israel?

You see, it's one thing to oppose Biafra, nothing wrong with it, but it's another to make concrete arguments against.

Who told you the west does not partner with botswana? Have you seen any western government say a single bad word about botswana or enforce austerity economics on it?
Have you seen the west trying to decide for botswana? An emphatic NO. And i hope you know botswana is not anti-western like many of these shitty countries try to become because they have a few dollars in their national account and want to be popular.
Botswana is tourism oriented. They are not a tech-inclined nation and you don't expect the west to partner with them on that level.
You are just spouting inferiority complex theories. Get your shitt right and people will take you serious.
