Back to EpisodesLawrence Freeman: Financial Elites Still Control Africa, Sovereignty & Infrastructure Needed
Description
Highly-respected researcher, writer, and speaker on Africa Lawrence Freeman discusses how a financial-political elite or oligarchy see the continent for its material resources and financial gain and attempt to exploit African nations through international finance, using divide and conquer and war and chaos to keep nations weak. It’s hard to say that Africa has any sovereign nations and that at best, some only have partial sovereignty. He considers manufacturing and infrastructure the key components in ensuring a nation’s prosperity, precisely what has been denied Africa. The lack of electricity, high-speed rail, and hospitals in Africa is killing people. He covers the Belt & Road in Africa and how China is building infrastructure, but it is not enough. He describes how elites destroyed Libya and how the same group is attempting to do the same to Ethiopia. He discusses how Ethiopians have a different mindset and they are being attacked for having the leading development policies in Africa today (e.g. GERD, rail). He comments on the West’s use of rebels, opposition groups, and extremists to overthrow sovereign nations, led by what he calls “Liberal Democracy Dictatorship”. Finally, he discusses the attempt to break down barriers in Africa and create a common market approach through initiatives such as a common currency.
