THE CAPITALIST NIGER
We don’t have a factory making guns or a factory manufacturing ammunitions.
The recent fighting in the Congo Republic is a case in point. Several weeks ago, the two countries
backing the rebels, Rwanda and Uganda got together with Kabila’s government and other African heads
of state to iron out a cease-fire agreement. Now, Uganda and Rwanda are the main suppliers of military
war to rebels. President Yoweri Museveni, who regards himself as a new and progressive African, backs
two rebel groups, while his counterpart in Rwanda, Paul Kagame, another military idiot, backs the other
group. Mind you, these two countries are poor according to the United Nations, but have decided to
invest in military hardware rather than providing essential services to their people. They have to import
the military hardware that they supply the rebels. There is no gun making factory in Uganda or Rwanda.
