“This $150 million commitment with the state department comes with $400 million of revenue commitments from the African governments themselves. So the whole idea here is trade, not aid. We’re putting the African governments in charge,” Zipline CEO Keller Rinaudo Cliffton says.

African Corrupt Leaders and The Hands Behind Them Over the past couple of weeks, 2 former high level government officials from Nigeria and Ghana living in the UK and US respectively, who are both subjects of high profile corruption probes in their home countries, received legal guarantees of state protection against extradition to face trial at home. Once again, we are confronted with an issue that many in the Global North love to pretend does not exist. Africa's "fantastically corrupt" governments are always cited as the reason behind the continent's state of underdevelopment. What is deliberately omitted by the Western loudmouths who recycle this talking point and infinitum is the foundational role that their own governments play in the acquisition, transfer and warehousing of stolen African state resources, as well as the shielding and protection offered to corrupt African government officials by the same Western governments that have a lot to say about "fighting corruption in Africa." Biggest Mack explores this topic for The Spearhead.

The Governments pitiful excuse for not abolishing the carbon tax is that the state cannot afford to do so. That's despite the fact that the state has spent away its €1.1 billion year carbon tax take on €1.2 billion for IPAS and €800 million on foreign aid. The maths is simple: abolish carbon tax + cut IPAS and foreign aid = save Irish taxpayers.

Because the South African government is not a vigilante group, it runs the state and states engage diplomatically not through insults on social media. President Cyril Ramaphosa knows exactly what he is doing, and in my view he is doing the right thing. Many South African companies have outgrown the South African market. Take MTN, for example. If you removed MTN from its African operations outside of South Africa, it would become a much smaller company because South Africa contributes only about 18% of MTN’s total earnings. The remaining 82% comes from its operations across the rest of Africa. As the MTN CEO explains below, those relationships have to be nurtured. You cannot allow xenophobia and Afrophobia to destroy them. These companies pay taxes in South Africa, and the profits they generate across the continent ultimately benefit the South African economy. Their expansion creates value for shareholders, supports jobs at home, contributes to tax revenue, and strengthens South Africa’s economic position. It would therefore be foolish for President Ramaphosa not to engage with his African counterparts. Failing to do so would damage not only diplomatic relations, but also trade and investment ties that are vital to South African companies operating across the continent. If African governments were to adopt a united position against South African businesses because of deteriorating relations, the South African economy would suffer significantly. That is why diplomacy is not a luxury; it is an economic necessity. Unfortunately, many of those fuelling these problems either do not understand how modern economies work or simply do not read enough to appreciate the importance of regional trade, investment, and economic interdependence.

South Sudan has high hopes for Japan because the US will be cutting aid to the African country and Europe is reducing its commitments. South Sudan says the only way their relationship with Japan can excel to the next level is if Japan increases her financial commitments. This includes some technology transfers.
