Very informative article! Thank you! I might read George Ayittey’s work on the pre-colonial trading routes. I’ve found them very fascinating.

Another great piece by Magatte. On our end we are investing in local artisanal mining activities so as to uplift the local miners. We are supplying tools, health and safety gear and daily wage payment for our workers. We are working on an end product split that works as a motivating factor for the miner and landowner. We feed the workers daily so they are strong and ready for the task ahead. Our trade routes take us across Lake Victoria, over the Indian Ocean to the Ancient Arab Trade Hubs. My point being colonialism has come and thankfully gone, but we are able to take control and establish a new future for ourselves. We are mining gold which we have come to truly belive is indeed "God's Money".
