An increasingly assertive group of African nations are constraining the ability of Canadian companies to profit from resources

How could they dare to do such a thing?!? Isnt their only purpose to be a place for the good west to resourcep-rape? /s

It's good to see these countries trying to avoid colonialism. I'm not sure that their control over their resources is going to necessarily be better environmentally and in terms of human rights as there's a lot of artisanal and illegal mining that goes on in Africa and that's just abhorrent. I'm not saying that Canadian mining groups have these things in mind at all, but at the very least, they have the ability to design and engineer facilities that can manage mine wastes

Nothing wrong with it but they lack the capital to invest in themselves so they are looking at investment from the west or from the east
