Can the East Save Africa? Hell No!

Africa is in India for, you have guessed it right, the African Summit - as if they can't have it in Africa. We see African heads of state and government jet to Asia - if it is not China, it is Japan, and now it is India that seems to be taking on China on matters Africa.
I couldn't help but revisit a 2008 paper by economist William Easterly titled "Can the West Save Africa?". The answer was an emphatic no. I bet that is the same answer when it comes to the East.

  1. Damn right Jared. The East certainly wont even cant save Africa. The middle step technologies and milder political and economic views and perceptions they had of Africa have come undone. Dont mention their policy of non interference even when Africa is being poached dry and contracts signed with super normal margins. Simply put the east wont save Africa, not at the present cost
