  2. Erh.. they want African resources and they’re paying €€€ for it. Anything wrong with that?

  3. It’s in both Europe’s and africa’s interest to develop these projects, momey and development for Africa, energy for Europe. It must be possible

  4. 🥱 so predictable. A European country makes business with Africa and you can be sure someone comes out yelling colonialism! Better no business with Africa??

  7.  @marvin2678  I don’t know what you mean, I’ve seen the word caucasian in scientific papers and people in England use it too .. don’t mind calling it white, vanilla, or milk colored though, people get far too worked up about non issues

  8.  @TSholz100  well it’s not about the war in Ukraine. For Senegal they should consider whether it’s beneficial for their country or not, It’s a business opportunity not war support. Regarding corruption I don’t know well enough to comment, it would indeed be very sad if all the money went into few people’s pockets. But then, from the western perspective, what should we do, not do any business with Africa? Or treat them like children and say we will control that the money is fairly distributed (just to be called colonialists again..)?

  9.  @nebsta7446  germans are happy US is in Germany. If Russia would attack they couldn’t defend themselves. Plus US bases create a local economy that benefits the communities

  10. Europe has rather low energy resources compared to the rest of the world. Plus they’re paying for it = win-win

  11. Nonsense. This is about diversification and senegal will hopefully be part of the mix

  12. If they charge triple Germany will buy elsewhere. It’s a global market and senegal can be a fair participant

  13. They’re not coming to take it. They’re coming to buy it. It’s good for both sides

  14. Stealing it and paying for it. Also known as “trade”

  15. Germany came to buy gas, they’re not coming to steal it. No need for paranoia

  16. This is up to negotiations. Senegalese can ask for payment in their currency if they like

  17. Not begging. Looking for deals, just like every good economy should do

  18. Isn’t that Africa’s problem? We buy their resources and pay an honest price. Africans have to decide how to spend their money themselves

  19. 🤦‍♂️
