" I find it quite derogatory and stereotyped when people associate risk in African countries to wars and greed. "
I find it astounding that you dont.
If that critical thinking and risk analysis doesnt play a part when doing your research into investing in Africa then you are ignoring a major factor into why the developing world struggles to gain any forward social momentum.
Greed and war are the blight of developing Africa and whilst you have Presidents of even the most developed African nation, President Zuma of South Africa allegedly embezzling $billions then its a concern in all other, less regulated African States.
So, with that in mind yes im invested in HUm, yes im ecstatic about seeing the mine in production, but im also acutely aware that in Africa things can change in an instant and so I have an exit strategy in place just in case.
If you havent then thats your choice, im here to make money.
To do that you have to manage risk and this is, like January said is a possibility and is at the back of many peoples minds. Anyone elses sensibilities can go swing if they wish everyone else would stop being derogatory to Africa, but unfortunately history backs up the right to be wary of such possibilities occurring
