Re: Zimbabwe
Pakistan and India have no corporations in Zimbabwe, secondly they did not have the money nor the resources to fund dictators. Also lets not forget Mugabe was a very popular leader for the past 20 years. He was the main man to get Zimbabwe its independence from an semi-apartheid regime. He was popular until this whole mess. Though like most meglomaniacs he does not wish to relinquish power.
The Chinese involvement in Africa started in 2001. From 1950 to 2000, it was all Western companies. Secondly India, Pakistan and China do not have the money to fund these wars and dictators.
Are you seriously saying that colonialism had positive aspects for Africa? Really? Say that to an African and lets see how they react.
As for Zimbabwe. As the old man knows, there were no ATMs in Zimbabwe in the 80s and 90s. Secondly the cheque system would not work for denominations larger than a certain amount. Just like in the US you can not transfer more than 10,000 dollars without some bank inquiry or the US government checking to see what is going on.
Old man, The Chinese do just as bad as the West did in Africa. But one thing I do give them credit for, they do not mess with local politics. They do not fund local wars. They do not fund armies to fight in other countries for economic resources.
As always Old man its good to see you alive and kicking. Goochy's board seems to be dead and everybody has split up now. Plus you know me I show up for a short period and stir up some trouble and disappear when I get bored. But since I am back in Africa, I may go south and see you. Cat-woman has demanded I come and visit so I might see you!
Actually if you read about BCCI your eyes will be wide open.
yes, india and pakistan did have factories, companies etc. perhaps you are looking at global corporation with famous names
And it definitely was a pakistany national that was carrying cash to Mugabe's office in a briefcase. so as for your zimbabwe discourse about money bank machines i don't know what you mean. **BUt, i do know for an absolute fact a pakistany carried money to mugabe!!!!!!!!! **So , I enoucrage you to read BCCI
Many africans prospered under colonialism . sure it had its negativity aplenty but to whitewash it as all problems of the west is to limit one's knowledge of all countries including India and pakistan and china's involvement.
