Hell yeah, you bet it! You thought Kales-vs-Kyuks in Rift Valley was solved by Kofi Annan??

Now we got 1 billion-plus hungry Chinese who will soon be joining the economically empowered middle-class. They need food, they need land to grow the food, they wont count on the skewed international market so they're coming to use Africa for food security.

Don't believe the article when it makes it look like a private sector initiative!!! In China, the communist legacy is strong ... and private companies always get an unofficial nod from senior 'comrades' before launching on a project like this.

One day, people will fight wars over food. Right now we have skirmishes ... Egypt, Zimbabwe, South Africa... Just wait.

Just like the River Nile, when someone controls a life-giving resource, they ain't never gonna let go!!!

True, today in the British media there were comments bordering fear that the Chines are buying land everywhere-including far flung places such as Poland.
The west thought cold war and communism is dead-now through Africa, China is inching ever closer to their door step! Africa is a mere captive spectator/pawn.


Here is a cheeky example. Ten years ago technocrats and policy boffins thought about Chines and Korean long range missiles, today that looks like an idiotic fantasy. If the west fear the Chines operations, then it is too late to stop the surge. Soon disguised chines nuclear power stations will be planted at the tip of west africa and north africa.

This way there will be need to worry about distance.
