On the economic side, since the backdoor purpose of "trade" bills like the TPP and TTIP are meant to isolate China, as well as the bonkers nature of the Chinese stock market, are there any rumblings about what happens if production slows down? Doesn't China get most of it's raw materials from Africa? Angola, etc?

Is there a major sub-saharan 'success story' that's used as a commonplace example of a model to follow in recent years, and if so, what are the politics of that.

Ghana and Botswana aren't complete shitholes, but the latter was mostly due to a competent transitional government following independence and gently caress all resources save diamonds, and is getting worse in terms of corruption. Ghana alternated between so so democracies and military dictatorships. Ghana is pretty well settled by historical standards, so that's probably why it moved more peacefully compared to it's neighbors. The moral is, get your terrible civil wars and imperial ambitions out of the way in the 9th century.

Anyone know why Eritrea and Eithiopia suddenly decided to stop shooting at one another?
