I couldn't have said it better myself.

Unfortunately, exploitation of your own people is a story as old as time, it's not unique to this century.

Ditto!

100% smart wealthy countries learned that the better off/wealthier your people are the more wealth you can extract & probably even more important, their regime's become MUCH more stable & lasting. From a purely greedy perspective it's a win-win

The one who exploiting its own people is also a victim of being exploited by the greedy capitalist outside the country.

Rwanda just to add an African country after a genocide.... Mozambique like most of the African countries has a huge problem ahead, hunt all those who are stealing and making things worse for d people. But there's no will and for those who rule everything is working according....

And Malaysia.

Singapore, South Korea, Taiwan succeed because they INVESTED IN EDUCATION. Student from all those countries are in TOP5 best students in the world. If Africa want to prosper, it need to invest in EDUCATION in TECHNOLOGY field...

@@YouYou-sm8tf Absolutely agree!

Rme. The united States went out of its way to help those countries. Unlike African countries, which the united States goes out of its way to keep poor.

Definitely countries do develop in even less than 50 years, China, well Tanzania tried under Magufuli, till some globalist killed him! It is easy to blame african leaders, but then forget about the role of corrupt and greedy multinationals, especially in the case of Tanzania how they dodge taxes and try to mislead the government

I was waiting for this comment... That lady is very corrupt...50 years is too much for a country with so much resources to be rich...school hospital and they are done... No no no that's madness

@@Flower-ck2bs that's a coward that wants to continue to hide the crimes and betrayal of west africants.

Exactly. Thank you for Your Wisdom.

And when that mine leaves there will be absolutely nothing except open hands reaching for a hand out

Yall don't seem to relise their adults chosing to work in the mine by their own free will, people in America pay alot just to visit these mines and spend a day in the mine themselves. It's a privilege to have a ruby mine , also stealing what others grow is not ok , they need to grow their own food instead of committing crimes, you and them are the probl3m

The man who owns the mine is a colonial European man

The mine is providing 1500 jobs, 97% for people from Mozambique. The company are the highest tax payers in the region and are supporting thousands of medical consultations, school placements, infrastructure investment and training centres. Please get your facts straight.

It's probably owned by the Queen of England. I just found out one of the biggest copper mines in the world which is in Utah near my house is supposedly owned by the Queen. What doesn't this evil woman own?

@@andreabontempo643 it's the same here with south africas gold and diamonds. The queen currently has the biggest south african diamond ever found the cullinan, she also wears indian kohinoor diamond on her crown. How can u ever respect a queen that wears a stolen diamond on her crown

The European Colonial Devil

Gemfields employ 1500 people, 97% from Mozambique, they are the largest tax paying in the region and around 80% of all revenue generated stays in Mozambique.

By their own countrymen. That's the case of Africa.

What a quote full of copium.

@@aeliusromanus9338 oh yeah. Just like the rubber industry or the slave trade. It was their fellow countrymen who were responsible for the whole thing. Ask lamumba how well opposing exploitation went for him.

@@hoboryan3455 literally watched the whole thing and the company isn't in the wrong here.. they're paying the taxes and paying good wages obviously because all the workers look to be doing fine. He's right they cannot hire 80k people

It's not their wealth. They probably didn't even know what rubies were until that mine came along. Instead of bum rushing the place, they should politically and economically organize themselves to get shares in the mine or even a land concession. Until people like them wise up and act like intelligent humans, they will always be at the bottom of any society they inhabit, even their own.

YA KNA 🙌🙌🙌

It does because everyone is supposed to get something from the taxes paid. But as usual, the government spending the taxes correctly is a problem. The people should make sure the government they vote for is a good government. That's how all the people benefit.

@@olsaffa7679 But we have already known for decades that concession of a states natural resources only benefits the companies, maybe a few politicians and generate inequality. There have never been a different result, ever. Not in Latin America, not in africa, not in Asia. It's imperialism. And it only benefits the top 1%, always It is easy to blame the governments, but it's the IMF, WB and occidental organizations that push for this privatization, and they know every single leader can be either corrupted or pressured, that's their speciality.

@@olsaffa7679 Like Right now, the US south command, Laura Richardson, is planning to take some Military proxy war or tactic to take Bolivia's (and the triangle) Lithium. Of course, DW will never address this, but they are planning to steal the lithium in LA, everybody knows it does not benefit locals, but nobody cares.

It is their corrupt government, not the corps. The gov can out restrictions and laws on the crops operation in their country to benefit their people.

Isn’t it odd money is the root of all evil? 🤑💰💵💵💵💲💲💲🙈🙉

They know what they are doing

This is history repeating itself over and over

I dont know the property laws in Mozambique, but i imagine that the government owns the land around the mines, not the farmers.

Indeed it's so disheartening

Well..I suggest you not hold your breath🤷🏽‍♀️. Not them nor any world government will do that. Have you all not read Bible prophecies? Well whether you believe the Bible or not, see for yourself and then look around to see if what it foretold a long time ago is being fulfilled in our modern day. Then decide if it is lying or it is the honest to God truth🤷🏽‍♀️ ​ You seriously think they can simply use votes to force A Government…any Government to give them a better life? Do you think they have the will or the intention to do so. When ever has this worked on this planet earth? Where in the world has voting and politicians improve the lives of its citizens by means of vote? You all in for a very rude awakening if you think or believe the one who rules and control and runs the world Satan the Devil 💎1 John 5:19 who has his minions in the Body of Government and man is going to allow them to fix what he intends to destroy….souls and lives and Almighty God’s beautiful creation…planet earth. If voting worked, things would have gotten better along time ago but instead things have gotten worst, are getting worst and will get worst than this for people all over the world. YOU AIN’T SEE NOTHING YET…JUST YOU HOLD ON A LITTLE WHILE LONGER…EARTHQUAKES, FOOD SHORTAGES, PESTILENCE, PLAGUES AND SICKNESSES OF ALL SORTS, PERSECUTION ….💎Matthew 24:1- 51 (READ THE ENTIRE CHAPTER FOR WHAT GOD TOLD US IS COMING. IF YOU THINK THIS IS A LIE, THEN READ THIS CHAPTER AND ITS SCRIPTURES AND THEN LOOK AROUND AND WATCH YOUR LOCAL AND WORLDLY NEWS. You know what this mean? THE GREAT TRIBULATION. These conditions will be unlike any that had occurred since men came to be on the earth….💎Revelation 16:17-21 (Read the entire chapter for full context). Our world as we know it is coming to an End JUST AS THE BIBLE HAS FORETOLD. We are in critical times…End times. JUST YOU READ 💎2 Timothy 3:1-5 which confirms this fact. No HUMAN GOVERNMENT CAN FIXED THE WICKEDNESS THAT PLAGUES THIS ENTIRE EARTH BECAUSE THIS WORLD WAS HANDED TO SATAN THE DEVIL TO CONTROL… HENCE THE MESS IT IS IN. Read 💎Revelation 12:12. SATAN TRIED TO OFFER IT TO JESUS WHEN HE TRIED TO TEMPT JESUS TO BOW DOWN AND WORSHIP HIM. Jesus wanted no parts of this world,.. nothing or any of the things in it because his kingdom is not of this world. Be like Jesus know and understand you all will never by voting get a human government to fix ANYTHING because Jesus is returning to to destroy the works of the Devil 💎1 John 3:8. And a New Kingdom…God’s Kingdom 💎Daniel 2:44 will replace this wicked one by cleansing it is the wicked one (Satan) and his followers. And the righteous will inherit the new earth 💎Psalm 37:9-11, 22, 29, 34. SO IN ESSENCE PEOPLES VOTES ARE AN ABSOLUTE WASTE OF TIME AND WILL AMOUNT TO NOTHING. BUT THEIR IS HOPE IN THE NEW WORLD TO COME….GODS KINGDOM…VOTE FOR THAT KINGDOM BY SPREADING THE GOOD NEWS AS WE ARE COMMISSIONED TO DO BY GOD AND HIS SON JESUS CHRIST 💎Matthew 24:14 AND 💎Matthew 28:19, 20. And TELL THEM ABOUT THE NEW WORLD THEY CAN LOOK FORWARD TO 💎Revelation 21:3, 4 BECAUSE THIS ONE IS JUST ABOUT OVER AS WE STEADILY MARCH CLOSER AND CLOSER TO THE END. THE WORLD AND THE WORLD CONDITIONS IS PROOF POSITIVE OF THIS TRUTH…BIBLE PROPHECIES ARE BEING FULFILLED. FOR THOSE WHO READ AND STUDY THE BIBLE THIS IS QUITE EVIDENT. SO NO MA’AM, VOTING WILL NOT FIX SOMETHING THAT IS MEANT TO BE DESTROYED AND REPLACED WITH SOMETHING BETTER JUST AS. ALMIGHTY GOD INTENDED IT TO BE WHEN HE CREATED THE GARDEN OF EVE AND PLACED THOSE TWO SOULS HER CREATED IN IT (ADAM and EVE) who messed things up because of their disobedience to God’s Law. Same destruction is coming to this earth like in the days of Noah and Sodom and Gomorrah because man choose to be like and follow the ways and rule of the Devil, the god of this world and Not our Almighty God. DISOBEDIENCE BRINGS DESTRUCTION. GOD’S KINGDOM IS THE ONLY THING THAT CAN FIX WHAT AILS THIS WORLD…NO EARTHLY GOVERNMENT…NO MAN. IT THEY COULD, IT WOULD HAVE ALREADY BEEN DONE🤷🏽‍♀️.

@@RichardVSmall In many African cultures, if you do not have a child, your marriage is not viewed as a marriage by the family. And remember they do not have the same mind set as you. We get a bigger picture of the world and the economy than they do. I also understand that the gov can not afford to help everyone. Even here in South Africa, the tax payers is a tiny % of the population. It is a catch 22. You want your cities to run like a first world city (or as close as you can get it) so we can compete with the world and be a player. And at the same time fight crime, poverty and corruption and an infustructure that needs to be maintained and grow. This is a small part of a country. I bet there are similar things happening in your own country. A small town gets polluted for capital gain.

Thought he sounded South African

@ qhawemoyo8940 you are right he is Zimbabwean. But this multinationals companies do that. They hire people from neighbouring countries so that they can underpay them. So if the manager is not from the same country he will underpay without thinking twice. The locals did say they are not employed by the mining companies but people from other countries are employed. Sad reality of Africa. If it was in South Africa they would have justified the whole thing and say South Africans are expensive and lazy. But this big companies don’t want to pay anything other than to take everything and leave locals poor. Our people and leadership is happy to help exploit their own . Once the master is done exploiting the land people will have no food and no place to. Wars will be many for no resources and no one could grow food. We will have earthquakes and tremors with no place to run to. Africans will be recolonised and this time they will never be free. I ask poor Africans to remember the name of their black masters and their children and families. When the time is right they must make sure all their families pay with their dear lives just like other families lost their babies

Muito friend tia not us. Yes de have some responsability but everytime de have a Good leader, 2 things happens , the west creat war of changing regime or they assassinate them, thats why we kiking out France, UN, NATO...whoever or whatever comes.

I wish the colonialist powers that raped and pillaged the continent for decades would pay these people their reparations and stop propping up corrupt governments in the region to guarantee no change in the status quo.

Correction:wonderful and corrupt🙂

@@benghiz9905 fair, sad but true. I have spoken at length about this with family and friends in TN, BF, RW and ZA and it’s a very, very delicate subject matter to engage in, especially at this point in time and as a white person in the west. My country never colonised another nation, yet we profited over decades from laundered money. Money stolen from peoples by their leaders, resources extracted under corrupt licensing, paid for by corporations that were attracted by our low taxes - designed to do exactly that, licensing granted by autocrats that enriched themselves and bunkered their stolen fortunes in our banks while our secretive financial sector could operate in the shadows. Well, that is certainly over. There is a political push for more justice. The responsible business initiative had a majority vote in the population, but lost the state majority. It’s a very distinct sign of a consciousness of the post-boomers, that active participation and the enabling of despots by western nations in a system of corporate feudalism, that runs these schemes, is about to face increasing opposition and will have to phase out. I’m sure, some other nations will tolerate it in our stead, China is a big variable in this and considering their influence, one to be reckoned with. Still. When all is said and done, a feeling of unease remains. There are behavioural and cultural patterns that are undeniably part of the misery we witness on the African continent. They must be addressed honestly and preferably by people like Dambisa Moyo, Desi-Rae Campbell or Vusi Tembekwayo. People who know Africa, as their home and identity, who studied its history and economics and who want the best for all people, tribes, nations and our global community. They are not afraid to point out the challenges rooted in culture and mentality and it is important that they’re not, if Africa and its nations are to get ahead in this moment of indisputable signs of trouble ahead. Let’s hope for a miracle.

No doubt that the politicians are corrupt. I grew up in South Africa. Been to all the neighboring countries. It is mismanagement that causes this. And to be honest. The Western world is still exploiting Africa and all her resources.

Nah

@Jack Burton Actually that's how the American public became wealthy during the Gold rush, they panned and mined gold using simple tools and sold it to the govt. Africa has a curse, you can have a company extracting billions of dollars a year from an area but the locals don't eat 2 meals a day or have running or even clean water. In many cases the companies destroy the local water supplies. To compound the problem the revenue generated from these govt private company partnerships rarely makes it's way back to the nations treasury, it usually ends in the pockets of a few powerful politicians.
