My numbers will be wrong without hunting around but they were paying few hundred million bucks for billions worth every year. Im loading up on popcorn for watching France. Years of glorious nuclear energy all achieved by fucking Africa. Karma coming

yeah always the case, but Africa adds no value to the product, it's raw extraction too. Saw some logs being transported over the weekend, at least we could add value by chipping and then shipping? but nope, send the raw resource for cheaper.
Do you think thats by design though? By "interests"?
a bit of natural trade dynamics and interests.
After all, unless they are big market movers, the price for the commodity is relative to the market demand/supply.
It's the insurance on transport that adds the cost.
interests can create things like "the Houthi's" or "ISIS" or "Al Queda" to spike insurance premiums on war routing etc. that's where the money is really made.
Hmm. Be nice to see some sovereignty and development of actual refined products and widgets. The continent has so much potential
