It ain't that easy to get things going in Africa in turmoil prone states.
I you look back through history some states never had a moments peace.
Uganda, Rwanda, the Congo, those places had bloodshed steady since 1870.
But I wish them luck. If it were that sweet, Newmont would be buying their shares like there was no tomorrow.
That was the song that all the quick money boys were singing about southeast
Asia being the dream place to do business. Funny you don't hear it now.
Places to stay away from. Vietnam, India, China, Myanmar, Papua New Guinea,
Indonesia, Chile, Columbia, the Congo, Nigeria, Russia, Wisconsin, California
and British Columbia. Unless you have more money than brains.
I was once asked to go to Elizabethville to work as a computer consultant That was near where the Katanga Police massacred 300 French mining technicians about ten years previously. I asked for 80,000 tax free. They offered 40K.
Well the bad times hit there again. Probably a good thing I didn't get it.
