Essential The Africa the Media Doesn't Tell You About

Bro, please expand on this

South Africa is actually one of the MOST violent countries in the world. Which is why I laugh at some of these self-hating c00ns who say, "South Africa is the only African country I'm visiting." When the rest of Africa(without civil wars) is MUCH safer. Even the ones with dictatorships.

Nah he said Zulu because he was working in Kwazulu Natal so that's pretty much all he saw in the hospital.

Fair enough but this thread was about to take a Zulu turn But yeah SA is wild.

Bro, please expand on this

No expertise, just look at the numbers and you will see in terms of homicides, violent crime etc SA poorer townships have astronical numbers.

Yep that's true. SA is sort of like a Brazil in that, as a tourist you may not notice the extent of violent crime in the country because it's very concentrated. Cape Town proper and it's townships on outskirts for example may as well be two different worlds.

Morocco requests to join W/African bloc ECOWAS

APA - Rabat (Morocco)

Morocco has officially requested to join the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) as a full member, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Cooperation said on Friday.

The kingdom of Morocco has informed Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, President of Liberia who is the current chair of Ecowas of “its interest to join the regional grouping as a full member” a statement from the ministry said.

This request is in line with provisions of Ecowas's founding treaty and in full satisfaction of its membership criteria, it asserted.

According to Morocco, its move comes “to crown the strong political, human, historical, religious and economic ties at all levels with ECOWAS member countries”.

It said these links were reinforced over the last few years, through the king’s 23 visits to 11 countries in the region.

The statement said these visits were crowned by the signing of several hundred agreements, which gave a “strong” impetus to bilateral cooperation with the 15 member countries of the regional bloc.

Morocco also maintains institutional relations with Ecowas, through an observer status, which has been in place for several years.

Morocco has participated in several meetings of the organization and has contributed to its activities, particularly in areas relating to peace and stability, the statement added.

The desire to join Ecowas is also part of the royal vision for regional integration, as a key to Africa’s economic take-off, and is in line with the African policy of King Mohammed VI, reflected by the return of the kingdom to the African Union (AU), the statement concluded.

Cape Town is the only safe city for tourists in South Africa. It also has the highest concentration of tourist sites and activities.

If ECOWAS allows this to happen, I wouldn't understand the purpose of the organization any longer.

Was just thinking. Nigeria is the strongest country in the ECOWAS right..

So if this move did go through.. wonder how long it would take for Morocco to become the top ECOWAS country

Yeah, Nigeria's leverage in ECOWAS goes down each time the organization gets a new member - not even considering a country with the potential of Morocco.
