Homophobia unfortunately has a strong hold through most of Africa at the moment. Hopefully we will overcome it as a continent. Anyways, I wish Senegal success in curbing corruption and looting.

"The German government has said the deal does not specify the number of workers who will be allowed in. "
I think BBC edited the article after you posted this but I couldn’t find the 250000 number from the title.
In any case this is great news for both countries.
This price is impossibly cheap even compared to other Chinese built trains in other African countries. Something must be off
Makes sense! I think France, and all countries that had slave colonies, should pay back the equivalent of the profits they made from slavery with interest. It won’t take away the atrocities that were committed but it is part of justice.
More rail infrastructure in Africa is great news!
For everyone commenting about debt traps, from an African perspective both Western debt and Chinese debt (or any type of debt) favor the creditors but Chinese loans are relatively advantages because
(1) they tend to focus on infrastructure that the respective countries can use to their advantage as opposed to the WB or IMF loans which promote neoliberalism that has never worked in Africa (or really any other place) and push Africa in a position to only be able to provide raw materials and never be able to switch to value added products.
(2) They push other richer countries interested in African to invest more if they want to compete with China. The US for example has made plans to invest in African infrastructure to compete with China:
(3) If the debtor countries default on the loan or want to renegotiate, China (at least so far) doesn’t use its intelligence agencies and military agencies to destabilize your country or force regime change
Thanks so much for sharing and taking the time to break it down for the layperson!
This is the first time I’m hearing of e waste mining, do you recommend doing it at a small scale? and if so, do you need any special material for the set up?
Thanks for your answer. You’re right, I was hoping to get more answers on the bigger picture change that would happen to society. Particularly since coops and credit unions are more democratic in nature, I wonder how different society would be with more direct control of how they money is managed.
Thanks for your answer!
Thanks for the answer!
You mentioned paying for everything via card or mobile. Does that mean credit unions offer no options to withdraw cash?
Also can banks permanently limit withdrawals or transfers?
Thanks for the answer and for suggesting the documentary!(excited to have my head hurt even more after watching it😂)
Thanks for the answer. I’m confident you’re correct but I’m having a hard time wrapping my head around drawing a line with an irrational length. If we did draw a right angled triangle with two sides equal to 1cm and we measured the hypotenuse physically with a ruler, how would we measure a never ending number? How would we able to keep measuring as the numbers after the decimal point keep going forever but the physical line itself is finite?
I misread the title and thought it said 9.4% of its energy from renewables not just solar. Way to go Chile!
