The article is RACIST since the STARVING AFRICANS are not mentioned until the BACK HALF -- as if STEALING FOOD from HUNGRY PEOPLE were a GOOD THING!!!
I guess the shitstink elites that run corporations and newspapers don't have to worry where their next meal is coming from.
"Foreign nations reap bounty in hungry Africa; Cheap labor, fertile land lure Gulf countries" by Edmund Sanders, Los Angeles Times | October 1, 2008
WAD RAWAH, Sudan - Africa's abundant natural resources long have invited foreign exploitation.
Over generations, foreign empires and companies stripped the continent of its gold and diamonds, then its oil. Rubber and ivory were plundered from Congo. Even Africa's people were exploited by being captured and sold into slavery abroad.
Yeah, and WHO was responsible for that?
Now foreigners are enjoined in a new scramble in Africa. The latest craze? Food. Amid a global crisis that for a time this year doubled prices for wheat, corn, rice, and other staples, some of the world's richest nations are coming to Africa to farm, hoping to turn the global epicenter of malnutrition into a breadbasket for themselves.
And what about all those STARVING AFRICANS that I see on TV all the time?
Lured by fertile land, cheap labor, and untapped potential, oil-rich Persian Gulf countries such as Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, and Kuwait, where deserts hinder food production, are snapping up farmland in underdeveloped African nations to grow crops for consumption back home.
Why am I getting an ANTI-MUSLIM feeling from this ZIONIST-CONTROLLED GARBAGE, folks? The jewsmedia NEVER STOPS pushing that agenda!!!!!
By next spring, Hadco, a Saudi agricultural company, hopes to be exporting wheat, vegetables and animal feed to Saudi Arabia. The Emirates government recently signed a similar deal in Sudan for up to 70,000 acres south of Khartoum, the capital. Investors from Qatar are fattening sheep and chickens not far away. Meanwhile, Egypt and Ethiopia are touting their agricultural potential, hoping to draw foreign interest.
How would you feel if YOU were STARVING and your government SHIPPED the FOOD OUT, American??!!! You would be HUNGRY, wouldn't you?
The deals are bound to raise eyebrows, because countries targeted by the investors often are struggling to feed their own populations.
Oh, NOW the AmeriKan MSM is going to raise questions -- halfway though this piece of racist filth!
Although Sudan has thriving exports of cotton and gum arabic, it imports more than 1 million tons of wheat annually and has suffered recent deficits in another staple, sorghum. Regions in the south and west, including Darfur, are heavily reliant on international food aid, provided mostly by the United States.
That's GLOBALISM for you!!!!
"It's not as easy as siphoning oil out of a country," said Joachim von Braun, director of the Washington-based International Food Policy Research Institute. --more--"
That's where the article was CUT for the WEB VERSION!!
WTF is with the CENSORSHIP?
"Ethiopia, for example, is marketing its farmland to Saudi Arabia, yet the Horn of Africa nation has a history of famine and is currently combating serious drought. Under such circumstance, foreign growers planning to export food could face potential protests, even riots, from hungry locals, experts said. And even as it tries to lure the foreign investment, the government recently slapped a ban on all food exports in response to domestic shortages.
No kidding? Ya think?
"It would be unimaginable for a foreign investor in Ethiopia now to simply ship out large amounts of grain," Von Braun said.
Why?
But he stressed that the foreign partnerships should benefit everyone by increasing worldwide food production. "We should not look at this trend with alarm. The more capital that finds its way into agriculture, the [bigger] the total pie."
That is what the GLOBALISTS ALWAYS SAY -- even if it turns out to be UNTRUE!!!! Aren't you TIRED of those FALSE PROMISES, world?
Sudanese officials say the new deals will help, not exploit, their country by creating jobs, promoting commercialization, and pumping much-needed investment into its agricultural industry. --more--"
The GLOBALIST LINE from the Sudanese government!!!!
