caste of westerners who can afford to buy at exorbitant prices linked to their prestige, a varied range of luxury goods. Poor countries that have populations that cannot afford this kind of fad are likely to disappear, especially as they live in areas where the mineral resources of the subsoil are rich enough to produce Luxury like the latest lavish cell phone. In the Third World the birth of the failed states will happen more often under the blows of boudoir of the West, in its enterprise of proxy wars, which can thus exploit without compensating anybody, but corrupting some dogs of war like in Somalia or in Libya.
The poor in the western world are no less threatened with extinction. Also in the United States, for example, where the prison population is mostly black, some states, such as Tennessee, ask detainees to sterilize for remission of their sentence. While in the countries of the Northern Hemisphere the nationalist currents, which are essential in the system of Western predation, put more pressure on black minorities or emigrants whom they falsely accuse to take over jobs reserved for nationals, it is important to emphasize that it is rather the West who lives on the hook of the Third World, even the high-tech industry which readily declares, it creates a wealth of its own, is not immune from any wrongdoing. Several high-tech gadget components are derived from mineral resources obtained in questionable circumstances. And better western companies settled in the third world countries earn a billion times more money than the handful of third world emigrants who live in the West and who send back to their country via expensive transfers of money a tiny part of foreign currency that helps local economies. The big fortunes being transitive , one must understand that the Western bourgeois invest their money all over the world, hundreds of millions of Westerners live directly from the money generated by the multinationals having tentacles in Africa. When it is estimated that the money sent back to Africa by the black diaspora in the West is about $ 60 billion per year , a figure that could double if one considers informal networks sending money
to Africa, the aid for development of Western countries towards Africa is only $ 50 billion a year, an aid which is in fact is a loan that contributes to the debt of the Third World countries.
At the same time, it is estimated that more than $ 2 trillion generated from exports of raw materials or profits from Western and Asian firms doing business in Africa annually leave the continent, a figure that should be revised upwards, since tax evasion is legion, the profits made in the real, being often revised down artificially, In a context where some African countries have a GDP of less than $ 4 billion.
The situation is worrying, and scandalous at will. When some talk about democracy and birth control in the tropics, at the same time they refuse to talk about justice and democracy in North-South exchanges.
The English NGO OXFAM in a document published on June 2, 2017 revealed hideous schemes that allow Western and Asian companies to escape the taxation of African countries. Shameless lies on the reality of profits made in the tropics and blackmail at States that need investment and therefore accept unfavorable contracts including through bodies that claim to be respectable like the IMF. Conditions that recall the notion of unequal treaties such as the Tonkin treaty. The most recent of this kind is the Agreements of partnership and exchange with the West, which will ultimately destroy the economic fabric of African countries, since it will help the dumping of Western products of poor quality, that beyond the sclerosis it will bring to the African economic fabric, will eventually contribute to severe endemic diseases such as diabetes and cancers which will contribute as described above to decimate populations, because sub-Saharan Africa cannot afford an efficient health care system because of the impossibility of cost linked to the shady deterioration in the terms of trade.
