africa were ignored. >> this dates back as far as the late 1990's. in the decade between 1997 and 2007, there was a survey done by one of the non-government affiliated unions which showed that south africa was decreasing supply to sector such as mining and industry, but that there was an increased supply to those households that had previously not had electricity under apartheid but now joining the power grid. also interesting that south africa was increasing its sale of electricity outside its borders. we provide electricity on firm contract to namibia botswana, mozambique and provide electricity on so-called no one firm contracts to zambia and zimbabwe and yet south africans themselves are dealing with this why are we selling off our electrical capacity? it is going to have a domino effect on the economy. hsbc downgraded their growth forecast with south africa in january this year. the south african reserve bank has already done so twice this year. last month from 2.4%, it is down to 2.2 and this month in the budget speech last week, down to 2%. they've also brought the economic forecast for next year down, as well, which tells you a lot about what the a

currently, they are under great pressure from this military coalition which is the african union mission in africathe coalition of neighboring countries and regional countries. they pushed al-shabaab out of all of their major strongholds. that has put a dent in all of their many other pillars of support that al-shabaab lies on. i think they have so many problems in somalia right now that their chances of launching -- of having an affiliated or having their members of the united states to launch that sort of attack is really, really small. the second part of this that you could look at is, and this was the purpose of the video, can they inspire attacks? attacks are perpetrated by individuals who don't not have formal affiliation with the group that they do have an ideological affinity. they are not members of al-shabaab, but they do support al-shabaab and what they say. they are specifically addressing muslims in the west, people outside of al-shabaab, people they are hoping will perpetrate one of the attacks. you can never discount the lone wolf attack because it only takes one individual to do it

decade between 1997 and about 2007 there was a survey done by one of the non-government affiliated unions, which showed that south africaasing supply to sectors such as mining and industry, but of course there was an increased supply to those households that had previously not had electricity, but were now joining the power grid but south africa was also increasing its sale of electricity outside of its borders. we provide firm contracts to several countries in the neighborhood. and we also provide electricity on so-called non-firm contracts to our neighbors in zambia and zimbabwe. and south africans are saying why are we selling off all of our electric capacity. it is going to have a huge domino effect on the economy. international analysts such as the hsvc downgraded their growth forecast for south africa in january this year. and the south african reserve bank has already done so twice this year. last month from 2.4% down to 2.2, and this week down to 2%. and they have brought the economic forecast for next year down as well which tells you a lot about the actual growth rate is then likely to be in this country. >>>
