compete.  If we have no planes to fly supplies into Congo let us carry them
on our heads to Congo.

Agreed. We need to find simple efficient ways of trading. My point on bonds
was on raising capital reserves to shore up such trading, within Africa,
eliminating the need for donor funding. Just as a further illustration
http://www.starbucksstore.com/Kenya/011009408,default,pd.html. 1 KG of
Kenyan coffee is roughly 2900 KES. We will happily re-import the
Starbucks/Nescafe/Nespresso etc and ignore Dormans on our supermarket
shelves.
