Tales two Rhodes tell about Africa

 “We must find new lands from which we can easily obtain raw materials and at the same time exploit the cheap slave labour that is available from the natives of the colonies. The colonies would also provide a dumping ground for the surplus goods produced in our factories.” 

Cecil John Rhodes –

“What we hear from our businesses is that they want to get in the game in Africa. There are other countries getting in the game in Africa – China, Brazil, Turkey. And if the US is not leading in Africa, we’re going to fall behind in a very important region of the world.”

 Ben Rhodes,

They speak a century apart.  But nothing seems to have changed   as far as Africa is concerned. The colonialism just continues. Almost unchallenged.
