ideal for fighter jets and large military aircraft the island is also situated between the horn of africa and yemen just be on the red sea and some of the busiest sea lanes in the world what they have done here is they have found an island which is very remote from both yemen and somalia very far off the coast but it's very strategically located and it kind of acts as a quasi aircraft carrier in the main over the u.a.e. in the middle of the indian ocean where they can control traffic and obviously to control the traffic you can also give favorable access to the sea lanes to companies that are related to the u.a.e. so it's a military and geopolitical strategy which is very much linked to the economic strategy of you know united arab emirates having already invested heavily in somaliland and expanded the commercial port of beara the uys control of the culture is seen by many is the latest move by the emirates to spread its influence well beyond its borders people have often remarked on the strategic value of sokoto or there have been speculations that. one power or another might try to actu

great again and africa is not going to be made great unless it can industrialize and it's very clearthat in this particular case africa is a dumping ground for used clothes i appreciate the fact that people get access to cheap secondhand clothes but if we're going to develop our industries we simply cannot compete against the deluge of cheap clothes i think president got me is one individual who's not going to be rolled over in this particular situation and he's going to make a stand or bananas let me jump in here although you say that it's the supporters of the u.s. position and why should america give free access to african countries who are then slapping tariffs on american goods even if it is only used close. the whole philosophy around a go which was around helping africa stand on its two feet we've seen so many instances the coffee markets the agricultural produce markets where africa has simply does not have any leverage on the value chain and this is an attempt by africa to get leverage on the value chain it's an attempt to develop industry it's an attempt to industrialize an
