37. Huge continent, with vast "unmined" resources.

That is WHY the IMF jumped on the the chance to piggy-back on the legitimate Arab Spring uprisings
to "remove" Gaddafi.
He was a major road block between the Global Banks and the Global Resource Extraction Corporations
and the riches of North Africa.

” For all his dictatorial megalomania, Gaddafi is a committed pan-African - a fierce defender of African unity. Libya was not in debt to international bankers. It did not borrow cash from the International Monetary Fund for any "structural adjustment". It used oil money for social services - including the Great Man Made River project, and investment/aid to sub-Saharan countries. Its independent central bank was not manipulated by the Western financial system. All in all a very bad example for the developing world.”
