      This is a very sound reason why people are very wary of trusting Afrikan leaders. Zimbabwe just sold out 20% of their land to arab occupiers. That sellout mentality will see Afrikans once again displaced. Instead of seeking reparations from occupiers, the only thing weak leadership can see to do is sell out the land from under Afrikans.

        In late September, Zimbabwe’s environment minister signed away control over a staggering amount of land — almost 20% of his country — to a little-known foreign company in the United Emirates.
        The Dubai-based Blue Carbon has secured forested land nearly equivalent to the size of the United Kingdom across five African nations to run projects to conserve forests that might otherwise be logged, preventing huge amounts of planet-heating carbon dioxide, or CO2, from entering the atmosphere.
        But according to several analysts and climate advocate, these conservation deals are the latest attempt by the petro-state to use green initiatives as a smokescreen for its plans to continue pumping fossil fuels.

            Yes, it’s true. And it’s not only Zimbabwe but also Zambia, Kenya, Liberia and Tanzania.

            According to several analysts and climate advocates, these conservation deals with the Arab nation are the latest attempt by the petro-state to use green initiatives as a smokescreen for its plans to continue pumping fossil fuels.
