condoleezza at africa talks, page-8

Put it this way , oh dark and hairy one.

It was pointed out to me today that the 2008 Puntland budget is 18 million dollars.

Thats less than the gross Somali taxi product of Melbourne.

A country that financially vunerable, and that potentially rich, will only become developed/exploited by the biggest players.

Range has the best of both worlds as it has financial alliances with both super powers.

As for your rudd/brown comments, you are superficially informed and biassed.
