Economic growth for this wronged continent is long overdue, however two things concern me here. Firstly, who is responsible for this economic growth – Are Africans involved in this or is it part of the Chinese strategy to gain control of all of the resources in Africa? Secondly is whether these countries can keep corruption out of their political systems to provide a stable platform for consistent growth.. Then again, has any country ever achieved a political system without corruption??? Hmm… whole new can of worms…
Nice good-news post Ronan, maybe the world is not so damned.
