Africa: Beyond the CLS

The CLS or Country Limitation Schedule of the U.S. Eximbank -?determines the financial support that enterprises and banks can receive in selling to foreign countries, kingdoms, principalities, etc. Enterprises get ECI or Export Credit Insurance, while banks receive guaranties - the sovereign full faith and obligation guaranty of the U.S. government.?

The U.S. Problem

The U.S. global trade impediment lies with its most efficient and automated trade financing and settlement process - a process now called Infor - the heir to the World Trade Center Associates’ process developed by Guy Tozzoli:?

The U.S. in pursuing what Guy Tozzoli invented in the 1970s with World Trade Center Associates, (I was there!) has created Infor, the successor to TradeCard and GTNexus/Infor, now?Infor, affiliated with Koch Industries, America’s second largest private fortune, and a proponent of fossil fuels. Infor uses its onboarding process to exclude enterprises that would develop and export alternatives to fossil fuel- driven energy products and technologies.?

Africa

Africa need not depend on a fossil-fuel addicted U.S. and its Eximbank CLS to obtain the support needed to develop a non-white native entrepreneurship - a process at which the U.S. has failed miserably:

after stealing the land of Native Americans and our self-appointed declaration of being "lega'l immigrants.?

The New York Times: How Italians Became ‘White’ - October 12, 2019:?

How Italians Became ‘White’

Congress envisioned a white,?Protestant and culturally homogeneous America when it declared in 1790 that only “free white persons, who have, or shall migrate into the United States” were eligible to become naturalized citizens. The calculus of racism underwent swift revision when waves of culturally diverse immigrants from the far corners of Europe changed the face of the country.

As the historian?Matthew Frye Jacobson?shows in his immigrant history?“Whiteness of a Different Color,”?the surge of newcomers engendered a national panic and led Americans to adopt a more restrictive, politicized view of how whiteness was to be allocated. Journalists, politicians, social scientists and immigration officials embraced the habit, separating ostensibly white Europeans into?“races.”?Some were designated “whiter” — and more worthy of citizenship — than others, while some were ranked as too close to blackness to be socially redeemable. The story of how Italian immigrants went from racialized pariah status in the 19th century to white Americans in good standing?in the 20th offers a window onto the alchemy through which race is constructed in the United States, and how racial hierarchies can sometimes change.

On a personal note: Reading Brent Staples’ How Italians Became White?? and knowing a great deal about entrepreneurship and international business on Long Island - the Island of Harry Chapin:

has helped me to determine what Africa needs to leapfrog its economic and geopolitical transformation:

We can no longer rely on cartoon characters:

The depletion of the ozone layer of the Earth and the Montreal Protocol are what should be considered in leapfrogging the economic transformation of Africa.?

The creation of the National?Ozone Officers Network for French-Speaking Africa and the Montreal Protocol are what should be considered in leapfrogging the economic transformation of Africa.? The Ozone Officers Network for French-Speaking Africa was approved at the 12th Executive Committee Meeting in March 1994 (AFR/SEV/12/TAS/09). To-date this network comprises 26 members: twenty-two French-speaking (Algeria, Benin, Burkina Faso, Burundi, Cameroon, Central African Republic, Chad, Comoros, Congo (Republic), Democratic Republic of Congo (D. R. C), Cote d'Ivoire, Djibouti, Gabon, Guinea, Madagascar, Mali, Mauritania, Morocco, Niger, Senegal, Togo and Tunisia), three Portuguese speaking African countries (Cape Verde, Guinea Bissau and Sao Tome & Principe) and one Spanish speaking (Equatorial Guinea that became a party to the Montreal Protocol in 2006). Besides UNEP and its partner Implementing Agencies (UNIDO, UNDP and the World Bank), this Network receives bilateral support from Canada, France and Switzerland - and from the Multilateral Fund.?
