Hey Guys
Another thing to remember is that China SKorea and soon India are and will continue to spend tens of billions of dollar in Cameroon to gain access to their minerals, which will in turn create wealth and jobs in Cameroon through increased govt revenues and direct and indirect labour demand to operate the mines and associated businesses.
Whoever is in power knows that to stay in power a country's citizens need to see and experience an improvement in the quality of life, the only way Cameroon and other African nations can accomplish this is to continue to provide open and friendly investment environments to multinationals lie Sundance and their JV Partners.
look at what happened to Mubarak, and even to a lesser extent mr Rudd, he created an atmosphere of potentially destabilizing the Australian economic recovery because the only industry keeping the Australian economy alive was and is mining. The Australian public feared that the Super Profits Tax was going to derail our economy and he was ousted.
politicians know how to stay in power, they see these big mining investments as their ticket to power, be sure that the miners and infrastructure firms will be taken care of!
