158 would like to invite you for writing Co-news if you have.
I think we should Catana give a chance. Africa goes different ways. If all parties stay connected for progress, including US/France poverty rate in Guinea could go down 30% in the next 10 months. The region is not poor, much mining. Only the old leaders have been egocentric and dictators. Same development was or is in South America. Today Brasil is a roaring economy a democracy. Some 15 years ago, Military leaders only, in South america.
