Christine Marie, in Socialist Action, February 5, 2013: "The profits from France’s mines in Niger have been the target of the MNJ, the Niger Movement for Justice. The MNJ is a mostly Tuareg group that has been demanding a share of the revenues and an environmental cleanup. Kidal, one of the northern Malian towns recently taken by French forces, and the heart of Tuareg spiritual life, is at the center of a uranium-prospecting project given a 2007 go-ahead by the Malian government of over 20,000 square kilometers. Oklo Resources was due, as late as last October, to start drilling in May 2013. Malian uranium reserves have been estimated at 5200 tons"

"The biggest Brazilian investor in Africa - and one of the biggest investors in the continent from anywhere - is Companhia Vale do Rio Doce, which is usually known as Vale. It is one of the three biggest mining companies in the world and is the world's biggest iron ore miner, controlling about 27% of the global market. It also produces coal, nickel, copper, bauxite, alumina, aluminium and a wide range of other commodities. As a result of the needs of its mining operations, it also invests heavily in power plants, railways and port infrastructure. Vale currently has investments totalling $7.7bn in nine African countries and plans to invest more than $18bn in Africa over the next five years but much will depend on the direction of global markets over that time." "The firm's biggest investment, however, is its Moatize coal mining project in the Moatize Basin of Tete Province in northwestern Mozambique."

Jos EU:n sopimuksiin Yhdysvaltojen ja Kanadan kanssa sisältyy investointisuoja, ulkomaisille sijoittajille avautuu mahdollisuus toimia kansallisen lainsäädännön vastaisesti. Markus Kröger (Suomen Akatemian tutkijatohtori Helsingin yliopistossa)., HS Vieraskynä 31.10.2013: "... lyhyessä ajassa on syntynyt joukko mittavia voittoja tekeviä lakiasiaintoimistoja, jotka etsivät aktiivisesti asiakkaita syytteiden nostamiseksi hallituksia vastaan... Investointisuoja tekee mahdolliseksi kansainvälisen korvausvaatimuksen, vaikka esimerkiksi kaivos rikkoisi paikallista ympäristölainsäädäntöä tai kaikki maan asukkaat olisivat hanketta vastaan ja onnistuisivat pysäyttämään sen."
CODESRIA Kenya extracts soda ash, limestone, gold, cement and gemstones but its resources are not exploited on a scale comparable to neighbouring Tanzania, Uganda or the Democratic Republic of Congo. However, the recent discovery of commercially viable oil reserves in Turkana [http://www.businessdailyafrica.com/...], the impending arrival of a new port and oil refinery on the island of Lamu, enormous rare earth and titanium deposits found in Kwale [http://allafrica.com/stories/201307...], and discoveries of gold in Narok and Migori [http://www.businessdailyafrica.com/...] have caught the eye of new investors, hungry to turn a handsome profit from the country’s untapped resources.
President Condé of Guinea at Davos , Jan 2014 (Guardian 22.1.14): "... we live in a global economy. We simply can't deal with the network of corruption embedded in a few key western institutions from a distance of nearly 3,000 miles. These corrupt practitioners operate from the west, but their practices are global and require a global response. Only tighter, more responsive and highly co-ordinated action between law enforcement authorities in both developing nations and the world's financial centres will be effective... With international legal co-operation, Guinea will soon be announcing the outcome of an investigation into some of the most disturbing allegations of mining corruption in Africa's history. I ask other countries to do the same with their own financial institutions."
Patrick Bons on "... the difference between bogus ‘Africa Rising’ rhetoric as GDP increases thanks to raw materials exports, and Africa crashing in terms of fast-shrinking wealth, especially in resource-cursed countries like Nigeria and South Africa. To fail to acknowledge the distinction is to import from malevolent Northern economists what University of Pretoria political economist Lorenzo Fioramonti calls a Gross Domestic Problem. It means ignoring women’s unpaid labour, pollution, social ills and a variety of other variables that should be measured as losses from net income. The biggest of these GDP-blind factors in Africa is the depletion of natural resources, which when mined or drilled out are only counted as GDP credits on the income accounts, but not as debits, as they should be since a source of future income is now gone.
