Africa: United States Seeks Expanded Economic Growth

Washington, DC — A central objective of U.S. trade relations with sub-Saharan Africa is to create a platform for expanded African economic growth, says a senior U.S. trade official.

"Sub-Saharan Africa's current share of global trade is less than 2 percent, down from 6 percent in 1980," Assistant U.S. Trade Representative Florizelle Liser testified June 24 at a congressional hearing.

"If sub-Saharan Africa were to increase that share by just 1 percentage point to 3 percent, it would generate additional export revenues of $70 billion annually, which is nearly three times the amount of current annual assistance to Africa from all donors. This reflects the importance of trade as a critical platform for Africa's economic growth."

Liser said that exports from the continent are concentrated in primary commodities such as petroleum, minerals, cocoa and coffee. She added that "there is little of the manufacturing engine in sub-Saharan Africa that has fueled economic growth and reduced poverty in other regions of the world."

And Liser said that agriculture, which is regarded as Africa's strong suit, has not been a positive contributor to export trade, and that in 2005 the region switched from being a net exporter to being a net importer of farm products.

"We believe that export diversification and further processing of agriculture products into higher-value exports could help improve food security in the region by addressing issues of availability and stability of food supply," Liser said.

Liser said that the African Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA), a U.S. trade law enacted in 2000 by the Clinton administration, is a tool that has helped to increase both the volume and diversity of U.S. trade with sub-Saharan Africa. Economists believe that striking a critical balance between trade volume and the diversity of the exports is essential to regional long-term economic development and growth.

"AGOA also promotes economic cooperation and trade among the countries of sub-Saharan Africa by encouraging intraregional trade among AGOA beneficiary countries," Liser said. Two-way trade between the United States and sub-Saharan Africa was $104.6 billion in 2008, counting exports and imports, which was more than triple the amount in 2001, the first full year of AGOA implementation, she said.

However, Liser told the congressional hearing that the United States recognizes that trade with Africa has declined as a result of the current global economic crisis and declining oil and commodity prices. Many more African nations are taking advantage of the liberal trade opportunities under AGOA, she said, but many more are facing significant challenges in their efforts to increase trade.

"We are continuing our efforts to increase the number of AGOA-eligible countries taking advantage of the program, and we are also trying to address the many supply-side constraints the Africans face and to help them increase the range and quality of products being traded and improve Africa's overall competitiveness," Liser said.

U.S.-AFRICAN TRADE PROFILE

U.S. total trade with sub-Saharan Africa, which includes both exports and imports, rose 28 percent in 2008 from the year before, as both exports and imports grew, according to a U.S.-African Trade Profile published by the Commerce Department's International Trade Administration (ITA). In 2008, U.S. exports totaled $18.6 billion, compared with $14.4 billion in 2007, and imports last year reached $86.1 billion, compared with $67.4 billion in 2007, the ITA report said.

Exports were driven by demand for machinery, vehicles and parts, wheat, noncrude oil, aircraft and electrical machinery, which included telecommunications equipment. U.S. imports of African products were led by crude oil and passenger vehicles, the report said.

The top five African destinations for U.S. products were South Africa, Nigeria, Angola, Benin and Ghana. U.S. imports from the oil-producing countries grew in every case from Nigeria, Angola, Republic of Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Chad and Gabon, the report said.

The 8th Annual AGOA Forum will be held August 4-6 in Nairobi, Kenya, at the Kenyatta International Conference Center.

    AMERICA IS THE WHORE OF BABYLON : Revelations 17 & 18 AND Jeremiah 50 & 51

    HERE ARE SOME KEY POINTS :

    Jeremiah, chapter 50 : 8 - 9

    8: Remove out of the midst of Babylon, and go forth out of the land of the Chaldeans, and be as the he goats before the flocks. 9: For, behold, I will raise and cause to come up against Babylon AN ASSEMBLY OF GREAT NATIONS FROM THE NORTH COUNTRY: and they shall set themselves in array against her; from there she shall be taken: their arrows shall be as of a mighty expert man; none shall return in vain. . [ Their will be an exodus of nations leaving America ; returning to their ancestral homes e.g. Black Africans to nations like Ghana, Sierra Leone, etc…] [ .Get out of New Babylon America !!! ]

    [ 1 ] Jeremiah, chapter 50 : 16 16: Cut off the sower from Babylon ;and him that handles the sickle in the time of harvest .For fear of the oppressing sword they shall turn every one to his people, and they shall flee every one to his own land.

    [ 2 ] Jeremiah, chapter 51 : 6

    6: Flee out of the midst of Babylon, and deliver every man his soul. Be not cut off in her iniquity. For this is the time of the LORD's vengeance; he will render to her a recompence.

    [ 3 ] Jeremiah, chapter 51 : 9 9: We would have healed Babylon, but she is not healed. Forsake her, and let us go every one into his own country. For her judgment reaches to heaven, and is lifted up even to the skies.

    Jeremiah, chapter 50 : 35 - 37

    35: A sword is upon the Chaldeans, the inhabitants of Babylon, her princes, and her wise men; says the LORD. 36: A sword is upon the liars; and they shall dote. A sword is upon her mighty men; and they shall be dismayed. 37: A sword is upon their horses, chariots, and upon ALL THE MINGLED PEOPLE that are in the midst of her; they shall become as women. A sword is upon her treasures; and they shall be robbed.

    ALL THE MINGLED PEOPLE – What Nation Has More Different Cultures Than America ?

    Jeremiah, chapter 51 : 7 7: Babylon has been a golden cup in the LORD's hand; that made all the earth drunken. The nations have drunk of her wine. Therefore the nations are insane.

    10: The LORD has brought forth our righteousness. Come, and let us declare in Zion (our souls) the work of the LORD our God. [ Zion = The Kingdom of Heaven which is within us..within our souls ]

    [ This same spirit of the Medes ( Arabs)…is against New Babylon (Anerica) ]

    [ 1 ] Jeremiah, chapter 51 : 11 11: Make bright the arrows; gather the shields. The LORD has raised up the spirit of the kings of the Medes: for his device is against Babylon, to destroy it; because it is the vengeance of the LORD, the vengeance of his temple.

    [ 2 ] Jeremiah, chapter 51 : 27 - 28

    27: Set you up a standard in the land. Blow the trumpet among the nations. Prepare the nations against her. Call together against her the kingdoms of Ararat, Minni, and Ashchenaz. Appoint a captain against her. Cause the horses to come up as the rough caterpillers. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------- These three(3) kingdoms today are : a) Ararat - (Armenia / Turkey) b) Ashchenaz – ( ? ) c) Minni – Armenia These kingdoms are (Arabic ) Medes --------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------- 28: Prepare against her the nations with the kings of the Medes, the captains, all the rulers of it, and all the land of his dominion.

    [ The people will stop immigrating to America; once the word gets out of her impending doom ]

    [ 1 ] Jeremiah, chapter 51 : 44 -45

    44: And I will punish Bel in Babylon. I will bring forth out of his mouth that which he has swallowed up. And the nations shall not flow together any more to him. Yes, the wall of Babylon shall fall. 45: My people, go you out of the midst of her, and deliver you every man his soul from the fierce anger of the LORD.

    [ a) For Two(2) years shall the people [ still here ( in America) ] hear rumors b) Civil Wars will break out before the final day of America’s destruction

    [ 1 ] Jeremiah, chapter 51 : 46

    46: And lest your heart faint, and you fear for the rumour that shall be heard in the land. A rumour shall both come one year. And after that in another year shall come a rumour, and violence in the land; ruler against ruler. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------

    OUR DEEPEST FEAR By Marianne Williamson

    Our Deepest Fear Is Not That We Are Inadequate, Our Deepest Fear Is That We Are Powerful Beyond Measure. It Is Our Light , Not Our Darkness That Most Frightens Us.

    We Ask Ourselves, Who Am I To Be Brilliant, Gorgeous, Talented, And Fabulous ?

    Actually Who Are We Not To Be ? You Are A Child Of God.

    Your Playing Small Doesn’t Serve The World.

    There Is Nothing Enlightened About Shrinking So That Other People Won’t Feel Insecure Around You.

    We Are All Meant To Shine, As Children Do.

    We Were Born To Make Manifest The Glory Of God That Is Within Us.

    It’s Not Just In Some Of Us; It’s In Everyone.

    And When We Let Our Own Light Shine We Unconsciously Give Other People Permission To Do The Same.

    And As We Are Liberated From Our Own Fear, Our Presence Automatically Liberates Others

    [NOTE – BEING AFRAID AND REFUSING TO GET INVOLVED WON’T STOP US FROM DYING. BUT BEING AFRAID CAN PREVENT US FROM LIVING]

    (Nkosi Sikeleli Africa )

    God bless Africa May her glory be lifted high Hear our petitions .

    God bless us, Your children God we ask You to protect our nation Intervene and end all conflicts Protect us, protect our nation, our nation.

    From the blue of our heaven, From the depths of our sea, Over our eternal mountain ranges, Where the cliffs give answer.

    Sounds the call to come together, And united we shall stand, Let us live and strive for freedom, In South Africa our land.

    [Enoch Mankayi Sontonga]

    WAKE UP ! STAY UP MY BROTHERS & SISTERS ! BE SELF-SUFFICIENT IN THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN.

    Our Deepest Fear Is Not That We Are Inadequate, Our Deepest Fear Is That We Are Powerful Beyond Measure. It Is Our Light , Not Our Darkness That Most Frightens Us.

    We Ask Ourselves, Who Am I To Be Brilliant, Gorgeous, Talented, And Fabulous ?

    Actually Who Are We Not To Be ? You Are A Child Of God.

    Your Playing Small Doesn’t Serve The World.

    There Is Nothing Enlightened About Shrinking So That Other People Won’t Feel Insecure Around You.

    We Are All Meant To Shine, As Children Do.

    We Were Born To Make Manifest The Glory Of God That Is Within Us.

    It’s Not Just In Some Of Us; It’s In Everyone.

    And When We Let Our Own Light Shine We Unconsciously Give Other People Permission To Do The Same.

    And As We Are Liberated From Our Own Fear, Our Presence Automatically Liberates Others

    God bless Africa May her glory be lifted high Hear our petitions .

    God bless us, Your children God we ask You to protect our nation Intervene and end all conflicts Protect us, protect our nation, our nation.

    From the blue of our heaven, From the depths of our sea, Over our eternal mountain ranges, Where the cliffs give answer.

    Sounds the call to come together, And united we shall stand, Let us live and strive for freedom, In South Africa our land.

    Dear Readers , There is a climate in America and the financial world that secretly has been

    "cooking the books" while they rob us. For example most financial information that is

    reported only focuses on "The Budget ". A Budget is the amount of money we would

    need to run our household on a specific time schedule (e.g. weekly budget, monthly

    budget, yearly budget ).

    When they tell us they have a "Budget Deficit ", they are actually saying they don't have

    enough money for the specific period the Budget is supposed to cover. There is a more

    complete financial picture that many of us are kept from seeing. This picture is called "

    THE COMPREHENSIVE ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT ".

    People like WALTER BURIEN & ALEX JONES exposed the schemes that have been

    going on since 1945 in America alone !!! For more information do a search using

    " The Comprehensive Annual Financial Report Exposed "..On YouTube Alex Jones &

    Walter Burien share a documentary that they did in the 1990s.
