• Nouvelle donne pour la dette en Afrique : alerte au Mozambique
  10 août 2016, par Claude Quémar

  Ces dernières années le continent africain nous était présenté comme le nouvel Eldorado mondial, riche de ses matières premières, connaissant des taux de croissance du PIB qui faisaient rêver le reste du monde touché par la crise de 2008, une démographie allant à l’encontre du vieillissement mondial…
  Cette conjoncture favorable s’appuyait sur trois éléments essentiels :
  L’augmentation depuis 2004 des recettes (en particulier en devises fortes) tirées des exportations de matières (…)

• Cameroun : VOICI POURQUOI LA HAUSSE DU PRIX DES PRODUITS PETROLIERS EST SANS OBJET
  27 juillet 2012, par Richard-Martin NTONDO

  I – Contexte et justification économique
  *** Le non-subventionnement des économies relève de la pensée économique libérale et essentiellement antisociale.
  *** Pourtant, partout dans le monde et davantage encore en occident réputé libéral, chaque fois qu’un secteur d’activité sensible est menacé, l’Etat s’empresse de le soutenir en le subventionnant, en déviance absolue des canons de la théorie économique professée. A titre d’exemple : L’automobile et l’acier aux USA, au Japon et en (…)

• Nigeria’s Poverty
  5 décembre 2017

  By February 2018 Nigeria will overtake India as the country with the most people in extreme poverty. Nigeria’s mean household income per capita is $1168, as compared to India’s $1759. However, this wouldn’t be an accurate measure of the welfare of the average Nigerian. What would be accurate to measure the economic growth as compared to its growing population will be the wealth distribution. More wealth is concentrated with the elites, despite the country’s oil wealth, than among the people. (…)

• Bank Corruption
  10 mars 2015

  The Swiss branch of HSBC bank cost Tanzania, Senegal and the Ivory Coast over 30% of their national health budgets, EurActiv France reports.
  Between 2006 and 2007, 100,000 clients and 20,000 offshore companies secretly channeled over €180 billion through HSBC accounts. This extensive fraud, actively encouraged by the bank, had a devastating effect on the budgets of developing countries, particularly in Africa.
  According to information collected by the NGO One, the losses incurred by (…)

• Power to Africa
  29 avril 2016

  The carnage, genocide, poverty, and famine on the supposedly poorest continent on the Earth was derived from her richness in natural resources. For more than 3,000 years, Africa has been stripped of her intellectual properties, natural resources and physical labor. The capitalist system has done an ingenious job, portraying Africa as a backwards land of paganism and ignorance in dire need of civilization and Christianity. The strategy hides the true reason for occupation : the theft and (…)

• CEDEAO et CEMAC : La souveraineté économique et monétaire comme solution au sous-développement
  21 janvier 2013, par Abdoulaye I. Lawal

  Peut-on aujourd’hui parler de la souveraineté économique et monétaire africaine comme réponse aux problèmes de sous-développement qui se matérialisent par une très faible offre de services sociaux de base tels que la santé, l’éducation, le maintien de l’ordre, de la sécurité des biens et des personnes ainsi que la sauvegarde de l’intégrité territoriale des États Africains ? Peut –ont aujourd’hui soulever l’anticonstitutionnalité du Franc CFA et du crime contre l’humanité qu’occasionne le (…)

• Angola’s thief gets a new job
  10 août 2016

  In Angola, controlling the oil fields is indelibly linked to controlling the country.
  Angola’s president is keeping control of state resources in the family. Faced with a struggling economy as global oil prices slump, president Jose Eduardo dos Santos appointed his daughter Isabel as head of the state-owned oil company Sonangol which manages Angola’s lucrative oil and gas reserves and contributes to about half of the country’s annual GDP while fueling a precarious and lop-sided post-war (…)

• Tax Evasion Revealed
  16 juin 2015

  Oxfam found companies based in the G7 nations made big profits from African operations and are fleecing Africa for nearly £4 billion a year in taxes, their report claims. They use a dodge called mispricing to shift profits to low-tax countries like the UK and Luxembourg to avoid higher local levies.
  The money avoided in tax is three times the amount needed to plug the healthcare funding gap in the Ebola-hit states of Sierra Leone, Liberia, Guinea and Guinea Bissau. Oxfam’s Nick Bryer, said (…)

• Nigeria’s Inequality and Poverty
  30 mai 2017

  The combined wealth of Nigeria’s five richest men – $29.9 billion – could end extreme poverty in that country according to a new report published by Oxfam.
  The report finds that : Nigeria’s richest man earns 8,000 times more in one day than a poor Nigerian will spend on basic needs in a year. More than 112 million people are living in poverty in Nigeria, yet the country’s richest man would have to spend $1 million a day for 42 years to exhaust his fortune. Despite a rapidly growing (…)
