@avenuex3731 ….I would say the most trustworthy (Western) partners would be the Scandinavians (Norway, Sweden, Denmark)….They seem to have “egalitarianism “ baked into their DNA (interestingly, none of them were ever colonizers, either). They are also very wealthy countries, so would have the financial means….Rather than having Western countries approach African countries with “partnerships,” it might not be a bad idea if African leaders were the ones doing the “choosing” (say, approaching the Swedish Government with a partnership offer)?
….While Scandinavians might be considered boring, they also have a reputation for honesty—and excessive wealth is looked down upon in their societies….I’m sure there are other governments that would also be fair—and people of faith….But, whether it’s Côte d’Ivoire, Niger, or Ghana that wants to exploit its wealth, I hope African leaders remember to always keep the “trump card” in their peoples’ hands—and never allow outsiders to hold it….
