My husband just Nodded his head, he said you are Absolutely Correct in your above statement in His Opinion. 
Now I have to amitt my old agency in China had to Real Interest in Africa until the lat 1990's but more asserting of Control in the 2000's.

You know, the only involvement that I knew about from China in Africa back then was the fact that Africa got flooded with Type 56 AK's, and China also set up a couple of ammo plants there to keep the AK's well fed. Those Type 56's were so common at one time that you could get one for the equivalent of 6 dollars, or you could get one in trade for a bag of corn.

Nowadays, it seems most of the unrest has moved northward in Africa, and is concentrated in Islamic areas, whereas back in those days it was to the southward, and concentrated in colonial and former colonial areas like Congo, Angola, Rhodesia, etc. Even the troubles in Morocco and Algeria were more the result of French colonialism than they were the result of Islam... but all that has changed now.

In Rhodesia, I don't believe that the real problem was either racism or colonialism. I think it was more a matter of the Socialist cure being worse than the colonial disease. It might not even be down to the Socialism as much as Robert Mugabe's mismanagement of implementing it. I have a Zimbabwe 50 cent piece that I used to carry with me everywhere. It was minted in 1980, the first year that Zimbabwe had it's own money and was no longer Rhodesian currency. Inflation got so bad under Mugabe that at one time the value of the metal in that coin was 50 billion times more valuable than the face value of it! That's 50 BILLION times more valuable - how bad does inflation have to get for a cent to only be worth 1/50 billionth of a cent?

And we think we have problems here! Just wait 'till the Socialism takes over America!
