9/21 Quote Of The Day: China-Africa Relations

"I see the Chinese coming as a godsend opportunity to now consolidate one continent as one country. It goes back to the vision of the founding fathers of Africa at the time of independence. We have the opportunity to create from Cairo to Cape Town a free trade area worth $1 trillion.....The Chinese have come. They have built African Union headquarters in Addis Ababa, they have built infrastructure that is now cutting across African countries and they are already steering a momentum for a possible one African state." — James Shikwati, libertarian head of the Inter-Region Economic Network (Kenya) and longtime critic of Western aid to Africa
