A brand new day 2

In a brand new day I wrote "And we protect our borders for their products with skyhigh taxes. To open our borders might be a solution to African problems.I don't know if there are any Afro-American readers, but I tell you we suck Africa and you too if you like it or not. America and Europe being less protectionistic will help a lot."

But when I look at this again I remember that there is a nuance. Things are not always what they seem to be.
What Africa can export to Europe cannot compete with the export power of Europe to Africa.
The trade balance between Africa and Europe is positive for the last mentioned. So the best way to make Africa economically more stabile is to close the borders; the countries in Africa should close their borders or imports from Europe (and the rest of the world).

Africa must secure and structurize their own internal economies before they can trade with Europe on a basis of equality.
This method of structurizing the economy made America the leading world economy.
If Africa could only have 10% of that power than a lot of problems would not occur.
