Africa's Poverty is a Curse that Comes from its Riches












I recently had the privilege of viewing the film ‘Bamako’, a 2006 film by Abderrahmane Sissako. Despite its name the film is not about Mali or the inhabitants of its capital. It is rather an exploration of the real impact the predatory capitalism spread by institutions such as the World Bank is having in African nations. This is certainly a film to see if you have ever wondered about the unspoken darker side of the globalization on which Thomas L. Friedman joyously writes.
