    >russian say ME can be rich

        Botswana is one of the few places in africa where when they found diamond mines they didnt fight moronic civil wars over them and instead invested the revenue into public infrastructure and education etc. the first president who had previously been a king was responsible for this iirc

            Other point. One of the biggest reasons why decolonization was such a shock to African countries was the mass brain drain since the most of the people who knew how to use anything more advanced than a plow up and left. Botswana’s president paid some of the euros out the ass to stay for a while and teach people shit. Tragically they’re now being flooded by dipshits from neighboring failed states who want gibs.

          Hell even in the developed world a lot of governments lack the foresight on what to do with Raw resource deposits. They can be more of a curse than a blessing.

          Problem with them is because everyone wants to buy your raw resources, the value of your currency keeps rising. With rising of the currency all other of your exports become more expensive. Which means everything NOT raw resource based starts getting broke as it becomes too expensive for exports.

          And since raw resource sector pays well for low education it ALSO means you have more and more school dropouts, so there is a massive "brain drain" by virtue of future generations not interested in getting one.
          So if eventually your resource sector contracts, you no longer have the workforce required to turn back into an industrial economy.

          This phenomenon is called the "Dutch Disease" since it was first identified in the Dutch natural gas industry. In general: every resource rich country is a shithole in terms of standards of living. And it's not a coincidence. "But what about Arabia" you may ask "they are all rich". Yes... because they have a colorful interpretation on who counts as a citizen. 90% of their inhabitants are basically slaves, but since they are foreign slaves they don't count into the statistics. But once you do the country's standard of living are in abject poverty.

          So that means, if you are rich in raw resources, you need to CONSTANTLY spend that money to keep the value of your currency from inflating (i.e. Norway's Foreign Wealth Fund). You need to spend, and spend and spend some more. Even get yourself in debt over it (pretty ironic, I know). That's the ONLY way to combat the "Dutch Disease".

        When Botswana got independence it was basically empty. It had a ridiculously low level of literacy and little resources except diamonds. Based Khama turned them into the most functioning african nation by pushing education and laws to prevent corruption. They still got fricked by aids and some corruption but Botswana is pretty nice.

    That's usually why they don't really care about punishment for crimes. Imagine you see a sign that says "No jaywalking, 15 glorpforf fine". You have no idea what a glorpforf is, so it doesn't carry much weight to you. For the African, a 10-25 year sentence doesn't mean anything, they're physically incapable of perceiving time in that manner

            Some dude who claimed to have worked in Africa says that Africans don't have the ability to plan long-term because many African languages lack words for things far in the future or describing things with much precision. Things like not having a future tense or only being able to say something is up in a tree, but not only halfway or at the top. The counter to this is I've heard that southeast Asian languages also have very simplified tenses for the past and future and they can obviously plan for the future.

              Time continuity is actually a very advanced concept. We have it because we were raised in culture where, simplifying, history "begun in Rome/Egypt and came to today", but it wasn't so obvious for more primitive cultures, even like original indo-european which we came from. Basic understanding for a simple man would be that time is, in fact, cyclic, time doesn't start anywhere and doesn't go into any point, it's cycled on itself and repeats continuously, that's a natural understanding you'll get when all you see is how day changes with night, summer with winter and old with youth and backwards for all your life. You can see it everywhere, a lot of mythos in a lot of cultures comprehend reality in that way or have traces of it, pajeets even persisted with it and have it as a cornerstone of their religions now.
              So there would be nothing strange in that yesterday's tribesmen whose granddad hunted antelopes on his bare foot wouldn't fully grasp on modern concepts of time, it's understandable, you have to have a deep historical background behind you to achieve that naturally, and for Africa it often means western education, which is somewhat rare in some parts.

                It's not so much as words but concepts and how they are perceived going by what was written in the blog post. So it's not that they can't understand the passing of time, but more along the lines of not understanding what time is; and that such a thing is so deeply ingrained in the European psyche that we struggle to understand how someone can't have an intrinsic understanding of it.

                It's a hard thing for me to try and put into simple words, but I think the best way to describe the point it's trying to make is that Africans only live in the moment and are...unaware of the past and future? It's not like they don't care about the past or the future, but they are incapable of dealing with future or past problems until they are physically confronted by it, I think?

            The CFA frank arguably provides good financial stability to these African nations that otherwise would struggle with their own currency, being pegged to the euro gives a sense of security many other African nations would long for. Also provides protection against rampant inflation. I'm not saying France is a saint, they're not, but for the CFA Franc it's not as black and white as you're making it out to be as these country could not support a fiat currency.

                A gold based economy is growth restricted based on your gold reserves and ability to acquire more. A nation switching to the gold standard would see immediate deflation (money is worth more) and the spike in demand for gold would further increase the value of money. While this seems like a good idea, it has massive negative impacts on consumption, debts, and cost of business.

                Anonymous

                Gold standard is considered bad because the amount of gold in the world is limited and thus you cannot print money forever to allow inflation to 'work'.

In a world where fiat currencies exist and are not bound by any sort of commodity like gold it's also a problem since they are not limited in this sense.

                You can argue for other commodities to back a currency that aren't as limited in quantity as gold but they will still have at least a theoretical hard cap.

                In hurr-durr terms, money should never be allowed to become a commodity in and of itself. If/when that happens, the bad kind of fricky-fricky ensues.

                I mean the current approach of 'print as much money as people will agree is sort-of ok but not too much more than that' isn't exactly ideal either.

                >deflation (currency increasing in value) is bad because people hold on to it instead of investing and spending
                That's the pro-inflation take on it. If you do the actual graphs, a deflation-centric economy often incentivizes longterm investments in capital goods aka advanced technology.

                I'll be honest I've never looked into that sort of thing in depth. Why would investing in that be more worthwhile than just holding on to your cash unless perhaps the increase in value in the longterm investments outweighs the deflationary 'interest' equivalent of holding on to your cash.

                A gold based economy is growth restricted based on your gold reserves and ability to acquire more. A nation switching to the gold standard would see immediate deflation (money is worth more) and the spike in demand for gold would further increase the value of money. While this seems like a good idea, it has massive negative impacts on consumption, debts, and cost of business.

                Other point. One of the biggest reasons why decolonization was such a shock to African countries was the mass brain drain since the most of the people who knew how to use anything more advanced than a plow up and left. Botswana’s president paid some of the euros out the ass to stay for a while and teach people shit. Tragically they’re now being flooded by dipshits from neighboring failed states who want gibs.

                :

                1. even when all currency could be exchanged for coinage worth something in metallurgical / commodity value, "bad money drove out good". shittier coins with the same face value as better ones drove the better coins out of circulation, for instance.

                this is called gresham's law.

                2. modern monetary policies have extended this principle by embracing subjective theory of value. this pov basically involves giving up the idea that the currency itself is a store of value. if people are hoarding fiat to an unusually high degree, rather than using it to transact and invest in shit, the modern system considers this a failure of currency to be intrinsically as worthless as it's intended to be.

                3. keeping your currency on a commodity-backed standard chains it to a physically quite limited quantity of something out there in the world. that something – reserves of gold or whatever – obviously can't grow 1:1 with any major economy. this makes a gold-backed currency a deflationary currency, and an economy denominated in that currency a growth-constrained economy relative to other economies.

              The CFA frank arguably provides good financial stability to these African nations that otherwise would struggle with their own currency, being pegged to the euro gives a sense of security many other African nations would long for. Also provides protection against rampant inflation. I'm not saying France is a saint, they're not, but for the CFA Franc it's not as black and white as you're making it out to be as these country could not support a fiat currency.

              The CFA is controlled by the african nations, not France. Half of their foreign currency reserves was sent to an account in France, and France paid them dividents on it every year. In exchange, France provides cover of all their trades in case they don’t have enougth of a specific foreign currency (like usd or yuan) because France has just much more reserves.
              This obligation was removed a few years ago, and they are now free to move all their currency reserves to the swiss accounts of their ministers... yet France keep on providing the security on their trades.

        But it isn't reasonable, it's superficial actions that do nothing. Africans seem to think they should be spared geopolitical realities, when really a serious country or an experienced country learned long ago in this world you become better diplomats and either stay neutral(requires good statecraft) or align yourself to one side. Problem with these African nations is they make short-sighted decisions with them trying rather pathetically to play both sides, all this leaves them worse off.

        Also this anon

        The elites of African countries aren’t the clinically moronic 60-IQs of the population; they’re high-IQs from wealthy and powerful family lineages. What that means is that they’re all about corruption. Using the country as a resource export business to be rich and maintain the access to wealth and security. The people have to be managed and minimally placated but being low-IQ they can’t organize politically in a meaningful way so the elites always get their way.

        The elites won’t turn away Western aid, but, ultimately, they’d rather line their pockets. ISIS doesn’t really effect them.

        summed it up well, a lot of African leaders like it this way because it lines their own pockets. This status quo is good for them, and they'll only slightly change it when it suits them, letting in Wagner suits them.

    Serious answer - the insurgency in Mali started out as a secessionist affair which then got taken over by ISIS. When that happened, the French came and cleaned house as far as they could, using conventional means and stuck around doing COIN shit. Then Mali had two consecutive coups and the latest junta got pissed, when the French started complaining about human rights abuses and refused to take part in atrocities against the secessionists

    France is losing in Africa because the French have stopped understanding how the world, and Africa, works.

    Until the 1980s, all the civil servants and diplomats that worked in what was called the "cooperation" in positive terms (or "Francafrique" in less positive ones) had a traditional education about the world, where they learned about the various cultures, ethnic groups, etc.

    So they understood that Africa is a country that works on a tribal basis, where ethnicity trumps everything else. Understanding that, they identified the strong ethnic groups and backed them. This created relatively stable regimes, with whom they could trade, etc.

    Since the 1980s, the French education system has started brainwashing kids that "all human beings are strictly equal and equivalent", and that ethnic groups don't exist, populations don't exist, etc. This was the terminal conclusion of French republican idealism: there are no ethnic groups, just humans, and anyone can become French by stepping foot on France.

    The problem with that thinking is they stopped understanding Africa. At the same time, African tribes started turning away from the now collapsed Soviet union, and towards Arab countries, to fund the militias used to wage the wars they have been waging for thousands of years (to control various fertile lands for their crops if they are sedentary subsistence farmers, or for their cattle if they are pastoralist nomads).

    So they nominally adopted Islam. But it's literally just a way for them to get weapons and funding. They still believe all their primitive and superstitious African beliefs, but just like they adopted communism when the soviet union was powerful, they now adopt Islam.

    Now, France has stopped understanding tribes, ethnic groups, etc. and at the same time it is fighting "Islamic terrorism". Now, *ALL* those tribes are Islamic. So what happens then? France starts killing the leaders of all those groups, fairly effectively.

      Good posts. This is also one of the major weaknesses of the “international system”, so much emphasis is placed on the optics of only recognizing “real” governments, and only negotiating with those governments (or privileging them heavily over other actors in the same territory), that diplomats completely lose sight of the reality on the ground.

It hits every note from bombing civilians, to rape of civilians, to blatant exploitation of resources, to assassinating any and all people who think of their own country as a country rather than as a French protectorate.

    I guess to start, watch this,

    and read this,

    Also let's not forget that this entire mess was STARTED BY FRANCE when they pushed to destroy the Libyan nation because Gaddafi was going to implement a Gold Dinar as pan-African currency, which would devalue the Franc, and DARE to give Africa economic independence.

      France is an obnoxious country still furious they aren't important anymore. That's why the EU keeps english as the language for politics despite only Ireland still speaking it in the EU, because otherwise the french would push their language.
      They also got pissed at the US sub deal despite selling under teh table shit to the russians under sanction

            Despite their long standing rivalry, France and the UK are bizarrely similar. It's a shame they don't cooperate more foten, whenever that happens it oftten delivers good shit.

    The training pics were always funny because most Malians look like malnourished manlets then some 7' tall gigaBlack person appears occasionally. Why did we give these people the gift of the rifle rather than letting them club each other like the good days?

    Because the French actually holds them to standards like "No war crime-ing the locals". Wagner has no such preclusions, and will in fact happily commit some for them.

      Sometimes thats the only way to pacify a place. I wonder how well the US wouldve fared in Iraq and Afghanistan if theyd never been shackled by these ideals. One of the reasons Malaya was so successful was the massive media blackout and the fact it was an "emergency" not a war meant none of the commies were counted as POWs so didnt fall under the Geneva convention.

    I hope France, Europe, the US and whoever from the Free World, just let them deal with their bullshit. They chose, they wanted Russian wiener, now they have to assume the consequences. Good riddance.
    Can't wait until Chink's wiener buttfrick them down the line.
    >b-but Russia and China can't be allowed to get a stronghold on Africa and its resources
    Yes, yes we should let them go. We should let them wast time, money and resources on that shithole of a continent that will FOREVER stay a shithole of a content. Mankind will be in the Alpha Centauri system that they still won't have figured out agriculture.

        Unless we start just agreeing with their Anti-Western propaganda and funnel all of them into Russia and China instead. That sounds like it could be a lot of fun.
