US Warns Nigeria, African Countries Over Debt Burden. by Nobody: 3:20pm On Jun 24, 2019 |
United States of America, USA top Africa diplomat, Tibor Nagy, on Monday warned African countries to be mindful of their debt burden. Nagy, who spoke in Pretoria, South Africa, warned that African countries owing amount they cannot pay back, not to expect being bailed out by western-sponsored debt relief. Nagy, U.S. Assistant Secretary of State for African Affairs, said “The International Monetary Fund and World Bank began the Heavily Indebted Poor Countries (HIPC) Initiative in 1996 to help the world’s poorest countries clear billions of dollars worth of unsustainable debt. “But Africa is facing another potential debt crisis today, with around 40 percent of low-income countries in the region now in debt distress or at high risk of it, according to an IMF report released a year ago. “We went through this, just in the last 20 years, this big debt forgiveness for a lot of African countries. “I certainly would not be sympathetic, and I do not think my administration would be sympathetic to that kind of situation,’’ he told reporters. Under Donald Trump’s administration, the U.S. has criticized China for pushing poor countries into debt, mainly through lending for large-scale infrastructure projects. Nagy has warned that those nations risk losing control of strategic assets if they cannot repay the Chinese loans, NAN reports. Sri Lanka formally handed over commercial activities in its main southern port in the town of Hambantota to a Chinese company in 2017 as part of a plan to convert $6 billion of loans that Sri Lanka owes China into equity. U.S. officials have warned that a strategic port in the tiny Horn of Africa nation of Djibouti could be next, a prospect the government there has denied. From 2000 to 2016, China loaned around $125 billion to the continent, according to data from the China-Africa Research Initiative at Washington’s Johns Hopkins University School of Advanced International Studies. https://dailypost.ng/2019/06/24/us-warns-nigeria-african-countries-debt-burden/ 11 Likes 2 Shares |

From the write-up they are actually warning us from taking Chinese loans, lols which looks like a cry from a drowning nation because nations no longer go to the US for loans but now opt for the Chinese. Hypocrites, they won't tell you they are the biggest debtor in the world. 108 Likes 10 Shares |

Well, if these countries can't pay back their loans, then the lenders would go ahead and take over their economies, ushering in the newest form of colonialism. Maybe Africa is better being colonized, since her leaders are irredeemably corrupt and backward. 84 Likes 7 Shares |

The worst is that African's major creditor is China. Some persons will say US/IMF/Paris club etc are angry Africans don't borrow from them, but atleast the western creditors had history of erasing some of the debts. But China? China will lend you, use her manpower to execute the projects(like CCECC is doing to us), and once you default, they take over 36 Likes 3 Shares |
