at: africa dano impactIs this even real – no impactKluth 11 (Michael, Associate Professor in The Department of Society and Globalisation, Roskilde University, Denmark, February 19, 2011, “North-South Rivalry and Offshore Balancing in Sub-Saharan Africa,” online: http://rc41.ipsa.org/public/Sao_Paulo_2011/paper-1694.pdf)//twemchen The overarching question guiding this study is: how can we explain the lacking onshore presence of the four great powers USA, Russia, China and India in Sub-Sahara Africa using offensive neorealism. The onshore absence of the above countries is a theoretical puzzle since offensive neorealism predicts power maximization behaviour and it’s an empirical puzzle since Sub-Sahara Africa with its profusion of failed and fragile states and absence of militarily strong local players seems ripe for great power expansion. Three propositions were put forth. 1. The US, as regional hegemon, has a status quo bias and thus little appetite for SubSaharan Africa since there are no aspiring hegemons. It maintains a low key presence in the hard security domain and refrains from onshore power expansion. 2. The European Union is the only great power regularly commencing onshore military missions and it upholds superiority over the contending suitors in its power projection capability vis-à-vis the region. 3. China, Russia and India lack the capability to challenge Europe by instigating onshore operations in Sub-Saharan Africa. They seek to maximize their presence through contributions to UN missions and cautious deployments of naval assets. In parallel they challenge the EU by acquiring conventional power projection assets. The US largely conforms to proposition 1 by staying aloof vis-à-vis power expansion games in Sub-Sahara Africa. This is particularly evident in the decision to locate AFRICOM outside the continent. In compliance with proposition 2, the EU has maintained European security dominance through a coordinated and collaborative upgrading of power projection assets which are pooled in European Battle Groups and through bilateral accords between the major member states. It augments its position through permanent military presence and regular offshore and onshore deployments. In accordance with proposition 3, China, India and Russia lack the means to challenge the Europeans in the Sub-Saharan theatre. They have no permanent bases in the vicinity. Their amphibious forces are short of vessels suitable for long range deployments. India and China are unable to provide air cover for ground operations in quantities required to match both the most advanced local air forces and the air combat assets the Europeans are capable of fielding. Russia has a capable air craft carrier suited for this purpose, but given the state of its remaining surface fleet it would be vulnerable. The same applies to Russia’s 35.000 man strong air borne forces which could be deployed by means of its vast air transport fleet. The transport planes would, however, be vulnerable en-route and the troops lack air cover once on the ground. Moreover most of the planes would be unable to make a safe return due to the shortage of aerial refuelling aircrafts. Deutsch is stupid and South Africa doesn’t have nukesSchulte 8 (Ambassador Gregory L. Schulte, U.S. Permanent Representative to the International Atomic Energy Agency, US Fed News, 1/31/08, Lexis)//twemchen Iran's leaders should follow the example of other countries that admitted and terminated illicit nuclear weapons programs: * Romania, which in 1992 opened its facilities to IAEA inspections and then destroyed equipment associated with a Communist-era nuclear weapons program. * South Africa, which in 1993 disclosed that it had constructed then dismantled several nuclear weapons and then opened its secret facilities to IAEA inspectors. africa resilientResilientBMI Research 7/1 – (7/1/15, “Q3 -2015,” Lexis) While there is little in the shilling's fundamental story to suggest it can buck this trend of broad dollar strength, we believe it will fare better on a relative basis than many of its SSA peers over the coming months. In contrast to other regional currencies, notably Nigeria and South Africa, Kenya's accelerating economy, improving external account picture and its lower exposure to capital outflows will make it one of the more resilient SSA currencies in 2015. Over the remainder of the year we expect the shilling to depreciate steadily, but we do not anticipate an aggressive sell-off. While the next significant level of support comes in at its all-time low of KES106/USD, as things stand the perfect storm of events that led the shilling to plummet to these depths in October 2011 are unlikely to materialise. ttip solves africaTTIP solves AfricaIFMW 6/26 – (6/26/15, “KenInvest signs MoU with USAID's East Africa Trade and Investment Hub,” Syndicate Media, Lexis)//twemchen Ikiara added that, "Improving the region's trade competitiveness, encouraging diversification of exports, as well as attracting trade and promoting broader and more inclusive economic growth, will lead to a more economically resilient and stronger East African community," Ikiara said.

Farmers, who are central to West African economies, suffered, and the effects have hampered the region's efforts to recover from the disease. FDI dropped like a stoneGNA 6/25 – Ghana News Agency (6/25/15, “FDI inflows to Africa stable in 2014,” Lexis)//twemchen The report said FDI flows to West Africa declined by 10 per cent to $ 12.8 billion, as the Ebola outbreak, security issues and falling commodity prices negatively affected several countries; while East Africa saw its FDI flows increasing by 11 per cent to $ 6.8 billion. fdi solvesFDI is inevitable and solves the DAGNA 6/25 – Ghana News Agency (6/25/15, “FDI inflows to Africa stable in 2014,” Lexis)//twemchen “FDI in services is important in supporting the participation of African economies in global value chains, as an increasing part of value added in trade consists of services. “It is also important in the context of financing progress towards the sustainable development goals,” it stated. at: mthathisConcludes corporate tax dodging decks the economyMthathis 6/12 – Executive Director of Oxfam South Africa (Sipho Mthathis, 6/12/15, “JOURNEY TOWARDS AN AFRICAN TAXATION RENAISSANCE,” IPS, Lexis)//twemchen However, millions across Africa are struggling. Economic inequality is on the rise, and public coffers are insufficient due to an increasing demand for public services like health, education and housing. Recently, Thomas Pogge and other distinguished academics have written about the cost of progress. Surprisingly, history provides us with examples of countries where, if there is a balance between economic growth and public spending, it is possible to address inequality. There is no time to waste in looking for ways to address this widening gap across Africa. It is urgent that, collectively, African nations look at the billions of dollars flowing out of the continent every year, most of which can be attributed to corporate tax dodging. britain solvesBritain cooperation solvesWoodcock 6/5 – Press Association Political Editor (Andrew Woodcock, 6/5/15, “UK 'STILL SERIOUS GLOBAL PLAYER',” Press Association, Lexis)//twemchen ``Fresh from the election, I was able to show that Britain is back,'' he said. ``Our economy growing, our deficit halved, unemployment falling and - with our efforts working for trade deals, saving lives in the Mediterranean, fighting Isil in the skies over Iraq, fighting Ebola in west Africa, combating climate change and poverty - we are playing a leading role in delivering the security and prosperity that our people deserve.''
