The WSJ on the withdrawal of the European governments from the Middle East and North Africa, the Obama administration's similar policies, and the refugee crisis in Europe
09/08/2015
What happens in North Africa, does not necessarily remain there, says this WSJ editorial, even if European governments and the Obama administration would prefer it to be that way. The withdrawal from the Middle East and North Africa under Hollande, Merkel and Obama, says the Journal, has led to the situation where the entire region is unravelling and being torn apart, leading to millions of refugees in first Turkey and Jordan, and now in Europe. True it says there are risks in intervening, but points to the Iraq where normalcy of life was returning to Baghdad by the end of the Bush administration, and the unraveling beginning only with Hollande (the departure of Sarkozy leaving Cameron alone), and the Obama administration's withdrawal from the Middle East (no action in Libya and Syria, and withdrawal in Iraq), Germany's traditional non-interventional role.

Bond issuance by African countries which was only $1 billion in 2000, reached $11 billion in 2013, $8 billion in 2014, with the pace slowing in 2015 as the U.S. Federal Reserve is expected to raise interest rates in late 2015. African countries need infrastructure financing. IMF and World Bank loans are providing additional financing. African countries compete for western investors with Romania, Bolivia, Guatemala and other smaller developing countries.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
