[AfricaRealities] UK is one of the rare countries well sex, drugs, prostitution and crimes contribute to the economy.

 

Paying for bad habits: sex work and drugs lift UK's EU bill
 
"However, earlier this year the UK's GDP was given a £10bn boost after officials calculated that sex work generated £5.3bn for the economy in 2013, with another £4.4bn coming from the sale of cannabis, heroin, powder cocaine, crack cocaine, ecstasy and amphetamines.

UK is one of the rare countries well sex, drugs, prostitution and crimes contribute to the economy.  David Cameron has been  always calling foreigners, including prostitutes to come to invest in the UK including prostitutes. He is now proud of their contribution to the increase of GDP.

Le Troisième Mandat de Louise Mushikiwabo à l'OIF : Entre Précédent et Principe Démocratique.

Le Troisième Mandat de Louise Mushikiwabo à l'OIF : Entre Précédent et Principe Démocratique. L'Alternance à l'OIF : Pourquoi un Troisième Mandat Fragilise la Crédibilité de la Francophonie. Introduction Louise Mushikiwabo veut un troisième mandat à la tête de l'Organisation internationale de la Francophonie. Son annonce, faite bien avant l'émergence d'autres candidats, rappelle une tactique familière en Afrique : affirmer qu'on a le soutien populaire sans jamais le prouver publiquement. La méthode est rodée. Des dirigeants africains l'utilisent depuis des décennies pour prolonger leur règne. Ils clament que "le peuple le demande" ou que "les partenaires soutiennent" cette reconduction. Aucune preuve formelle n'est nécessaire. L'affirmation devient réalité politique.

This foundational point must be stated plainly because it is frequently obscured in discussions about the conflict in eastern Congo. Debates about security narratives, mineral partnerships and geopolitical alignment risk creating a false impression that Rubaya's ownership or governance is somehow open to negotiation between external parties. It is not. The Democratic Republic of the Congo holds sovereign authority over its territory and its natural resources. N...

Goma Airport Should Function Under MONUSCO Control

Goma Airport Should Function Under MONUSCO Control Placing Goma International Airport under the operational supervision of MONUSCO while restoring full humanitarian and commercial functionality would represent a pragmatic compromise in the current crisis in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo. Such an arrangement would achieve three objectives simultaneously: Protect civilian and humanitarian access Address stated security concerns Reinforce Congolese sovereignty This is not a radical proposal. It is a stabilisation mechanism. Why MONUSCO Control Makes Strategic Sense MONUSCO is already mandated by the United Nations Security Council to support civilian protection and stabilisation in eastern Congo. It operates aircraft, maintains secure perimeters, and coordinates closely with humanitarian actors. Transferring temporary operational oversight of Goma airport to MONUSCO while allowing flights to resume would: Re...
