The New Slave Masters Of Africa

How China Has Created A New Slave Empire In Africa
-- The Daily Mail


I think I am probably going to die any minute now. An inflamed, deceived mob of about 50 desperate men are crowding round the car, some trying to turn it over, others beating at it with large rocks, all yelling insults and curses.

They have just started to smash the windows. Next, they will pull us out and, well, let's not think about that ...

I am trying not to meet their eyes, but they are staring at me and my companions with rage and hatred such as I haven't seen in a human face before. Those companions, Barbara Jones and Richard van Ryneveld, are - like me - quite helpless in the back seats.

If we get out, we will certainly be beaten to death. If we stay where we are, we will probably be beaten to death.

My Comment: Peter Hitchens emphasizes the economic exploitation of Africa by China, he does not look at the military and political exploitation that is now presently occurring. China's military presence in Sudan is an example of the extent that China is now making its presence felt in Africa. In Sudan, they have military advisers in the south that are being used to secure the oil fields that they have invested enormous amounts of money to exploit. As for the Sudanese Army, weapons from small arms to RPGs and the heavy stuff .... all of these weapons have a Chinese signature.
