African governments

Stability is not a word you can use to describe a typical African government. One of the 'joys' of investing in Africa is that you get to know about military coups... earlier than most people.

Not long ago, drunken soldiers were roaming the streets in Ougadougou, the capital of Burkina Faso. That fizzled out. Now it is the turn for Mali. Since the ousting of Gaddafi, the Tuareks who were armed by the dictators are moving on the government of Mali. Why there is a military coup there? Well, Africans have nothing better to do!
