Then again, The Gambia is special. They have held multiparty free and open elections from independance until 1994 (Jammeh's coup). This a continent where most countries had experienced Coups, Single-Party rule or both…
That's why everybody uses the word "shock" He has not publicly conceded yet (so we may still get a surprise) but : - his electoral commission has announced the results - the head of his electoral commission has…
$2mm is something like one hour of revenue for Apple I don't think they make design decisions on that basis
Western oil companies produce all the oil worldwide. The fracking guys are minor players.
"Critics have complained" No data, no study on the effect.
If Communist Cuba didn't exist, may be most of those dictatorships wouldnt have happened. And Costa Rica may be an exception because their lefties (or liberals) were smart enough to keep their eyes on the price.
Quite often the IMF is an easy scapegoat. You'd be surprised by how often the IMF advice is ignored or by how sound it can be at times. For instance, in Ukraine a few years ago, the IMF's advice was to cut down on some…
what if the supply of medical workers in Cuba allows it to send so many abroad with little effect on the local conditions ?
Costa Rica has done as well or even better
Small margins and low growth though. And many would argue that it'd be hard to do better.
You'd'be surprised by how well his nationalistic projection works nowadays

Can someone explain why the network controls the update ? I get why OEMs need to test/approve an update for their specific phones but what kind of role carriers play here ?
There are been rumours saying that it has been ready for months if not years. The decision to release it is Nadella's.
Nazism didn't last long enough. With North Korea, we're talking about a system that lasted for multiple generations.
And Turkey is an ally in that confrontation and in the one with Syria. (though not an ally on Irak and Iran)
Many of them actually get power-hungry while in power. Especially the ones who get elected after spending some time in the opposition under not-so-democratic regimes.
It's a matter of how things are moving. Homosexuality has been illegal in India. No change no uproar. Russia's laws have moved things bavkwards. Look at what happened in Uganda.
I was about to argue that institutions like Freedom House are ideologically biased but then I realized that each of the institutions have very different biases.
Ok but is it similar to the Black Market that existed in the 80's in the USSR or closer to the late 90's in Cuba ? If it's the first case, it's argue that the most corrupt rank isn't deserved. If it's the latter, we're…
I know that(I've lived in countries that were at the time last on the list). But did they survey North Koreans to discuss said perception ? Is "corrupt" really an equivalent of "bad and arbitrary and awfully run" ? To…
Or may be things are just uneven.. While officials in touch with foreigners in Santiago are clean, it could be that it's less the case at the local BMV in remote town..
M-Pesa is one service by one telco operator. Almost every teco in Africa has implemented an equivalent. Now the penetration may not be as deep in the other countries as in Kenya but that will change.
So now the country with the worse case of hyperinflation of may be the last 30 years is somehow representative of a continent of 50 countries ? Anyway. Capital flight (especially unearned capital) has been a more common…
Do we all agree that their only hope in consumer mobile is making Office cross-platform ?
