[AfricaRealities] Re: Scottish Independence: Learning from Africa

 

Scotland Independence YES campaign  is facing unfair intimidation and lies from all corners of England-led media, politicians and businesses. This also happened in Africa when African countries were fighting for independence from Britain. The British colonialists used economic and social risks as the result of independence . These risks included withdrawal of foreign aid, military and  technical assistance.  In Africa there were no banks that were threatening to relocate as it is happening in Scotland, no expected immigration nightmare as claimed by the media, there were no jobs and supermarkets in Africa, no prospects  of losing jobs due to independence, no increase in prices of goods and services because there were no such things in Africa. There were no institutions. There were no universities.  There were no educated people to lead the countries after independence.  Scotland has all this: universities, established and solid institutions, resources, educated people, etc. African colonised countries by Britain were 1,000 time poorer than Scotland. Despite this, African countries decided to vote for independence because  independence leads to confidence, innovation and allocations of resources according to  people's needs.
