Africa may be a tough place to do business as a westerner, but it seems other companies see the economic advantage of expanding in that country. Below is only a few articles of growth in Africa

Looks like the .017 went as I was making my last post. The new CEO hasn't had enough time to sharpen a pencil let alone make an impact. I love the fact that he has previous experience in the target market. Africa is not an easy place to conduct business as a westerner and the new CEO's military history leads me to believe he has potential contacts/contracts that a civilian would not. I think this was strong move by mgmt.
