Libyan Gaddafi and South African President Mbeki signed a labor export agreement, agreeing that South Africa will export 100,000 workers to Libya to help Libya carry out social infrastructure projects.

The African continent is applauding this agreement. Libya is very rich and is the richest country in Africa. Although it has been subject to economic sanctions and a comprehensive blockade by the United States in recent years, the living standards of Libyan citizens are still the highest in Africa.

, is also in the upper class. It is only second to South Africa. But in fact, the gap between the rich and the poor in South Africa is huge. If we really talk about the average national level, it is far inferior to Libya.

Under the initiative and leadership of Libyan President Muammar Gaddafi, all education and medical expenses in Libya are free, and basic living necessities are fully subsidized by the state. Water, electricity, gas, gasoline, flour, etc. are ridiculously cheap. About water, electricity,

Qi, for these things, the Libyan people generally spend no more than 50 yuan a month. Of course, this is not enough, the country will also pay the residents.

Yes, it means giving money. It is about 100 dinars per person per month for each family, and 350 dinars per household. Under normal circumstances, 1 dinar is equivalent to about RMB 5.2, which covers all basic needs. Therefore,

Libyans may be spoiled by this kind of life, or it may be the nature of the Arabs. People are extremely lazy, and they are the laziest group of Arabs. They wander around the street for hours with a cup of coffee, and they chat endlessly.

It's all nonsense, if it's a big deal, it can be blown up to the sky.

Therefore, many foreign companies in Libya recruit mostly foreigners. On the contrary, locals account for a very small number. After all, for a nation where a citizen can have enough food for the whole family without having to work, and where life, old age, illness and death are all managed by the state, it is very important to let them

It is obviously unrealistic to work with peace of mind and endure hardships. Except for those jobs with good pay and leisurely work, it is difficult to see Libyans working. Unless you offer extremely high wages, the lazy Libyans cannot refuse.

The current agreement between Libya and South Africa allows African countries not only to see that the South African government has solved the employment problem of 100,000 poor workers, but also to allow African countries to see the hope of cooperation with Libya. Before this, the US government had

The blockade has made African countries dare not cooperate with Libya at all. Even if the United States now announces that it has lifted the ban, everyone with a discerning eye knows that the U.S. government is currently helpless. In order to solve the Iraqi problem, they need Libya to open its airspace and let its various fighter jets

, the transport aircraft can fly smoothly.

But what about after the war in Iraq and after the US withdraws its troops? Will it use force in Libya? If we are on good terms with Libya now, if the US turns its back in the future, African countries like them will not be able to bear it. They are not like European countries, which are now on friendly terms with Libya.

The U.S. government will not dare to say anything if it announces the establishment of diplomatic relations. Instead, it will applaud it. This is the confidence of European countries. But African countries do not have this confidence. The United States does not need to beat them, as long as the U.S. government casually says that this country supports anti-terrorism

Words like this are enough to plunge an African country into a desperate situation of poverty and no one to help it.

But now, the South African government, the leading country in Africa, has taken the lead in establishing diplomatic relations with Libya and reaching a friendly cooperation agreement, which naturally makes those African countries feel relieved. The South African government dares to do this. This shows that Libya may really reconcile with the United States this time.

Naturally, they could not miss this opportunity to establish diplomatic relations with Libya. At present, several countries close to Libya immediately offered an olive branch to Gaddafi, requiring both sides to establish diplomatic relations, trade, and establish good neighborly relations. Among these countries

, especially Niger, which is close to Libya.

Niger, located in central and western Africa, is a landlocked country on the southern edge of the Sahara Desert. It is one of the least developed countries (lowly developed countries) in the world. Its per capita GDP is only US$300. It is a super poor country. And because it is close to Libya

Recently, Niger citizens are extremely envious of Libyan citizens' leisurely life where they can hang out on the streets and sunbathe on the balcony. They work hard for a year and don't even have enough to eat, but over there in Libya they are so leisurely that they can spend every day

With nothing to do, the disparity is outrageous.

According to the Human Development Index published by the United Nations Development Program in the 2005 Human Development Report, Niger ranks 186th, ranking first from the bottom. The national telephone penetration rate is 1 per 1,000 residents. There are 719 hospitals and clinics nationwide.

Among them, there are 3 national hospitals, 5 provincial hospitals, and 213 private clinics. On average, there is one doctor for every 25,000 people, one nurse for every 9,000 people, and one hospital bed for every 3,000 people. The national medical coverage rate is 70%.

The drinking water coverage rate is only 46%. In 2004, the birth rate was 41.4‰, the death rate was 25.9‰, the infant mortality rate was 15.2%, and the average life expectancy was 44.6 years. The main diseases include: meningitis, polio, malaria, cholera, etc.

A long time ago, Niger planned to cooperate with Libya, but due to the relationship between Libya and the United States, Niger was unable to do so. But now that South Africa has started, Niger can confidently and boldly cooperate with Libya.

For Gaddafi, the country is already engaged in large-scale civil construction projects and needs a lot of migrant workers. Although there are currently workers from China and workers from South Africa, the total number has reached 200,000, and the amount of this project is already very large.

It's big, but for Gaddafi, no matter how many people he has, he can still afford it. Libya's oil wealth is enough to support his huge civil construction projects.

It is also a good thing for Gaddafi to have good cooperative relations and even interests with Africa. The more workers from various countries are in Libya, the United States will have concerns if it wants to attack Libya in the future, which will give him a lot of trouble.

A large buffer time will prevent the US government from launching a direct bomb attack too recklessly.

Of course, Niger took the lead, and other countries soon followed. Anyway, even if there is no labor export, there can still be some cooperation in other aspects. In Africa, the geographical location of each country is different, which leads to the different crops and various industries in each country.

The products are all different, so there is great possibility for cooperation between countries.

And Libya lacks almost everything except oil and natural gas, which is US dollars. Therefore, Gaddafi has become Africa's largest buyer. And now, he has become Africa's largest financial owner. African leaders, not to mention currying favor with Gaddafi

Philippines, at least, is trying to please Gaddafi in every possible way and no longer treats Gaddafi like a madman as before.

What is currently happening in Africa is what Secretary Rice least wants to see. If Africa is really tied up, it will greatly damage the interests of the United States. Africa has the richest mineral resources in the world, and is second only to the Middle East.

The world's oil resources, and natural gas resources second only to Russia. In the past, due to the joint suppression of Western developed countries, the 'scissors gap' became the dominant trade between the two sides, allowing Western countries to enjoy the fruits of bilateral transactions.

But now, African countries are tied together. Although Western countries can still have the upper hand in terms of trade, it can be expected that in the future they will never be able to get what they want as before. Moreover, once the African Union is really established, it will form something like OPEC.

'That kind of organization was the real trouble for Western countries at that time.

In Rice's opinion, the only source of the current trouble is Lin Feng. Without the cooperation between Lin Feng and Gaddafi, and without Lin Feng taking the lead in linking Libya and South Africa, it would have been impossible for Libya to cooperate with South Africa.

. Without the cooperation between Libya and South Africa, which has the highest per capita living standards in Africa and the cooperation with the two most economically developed countries, it is impossible for other African countries to cooperate with Libya. Therefore, without Lin Feng, there would be no current situation.

The phenomenon of big trade in Africa occurred.

Rice hated Lin Feng very much. She hated him very much. She hated this Chinese who brought huge trouble to her job and American interests. So, she called Lin Feng.

"Hello, Mr. Lin, I am US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice." Rice coldly called Lin Feng and introduced herself. She knew Lin Feng very well and knew that this guy likes to pretend.

Ignorant guy, if he doesn't introduce his title and full name, Lin Feng may hang up the phone directly. This is entirely possible for Lin Feng. He can use the excuse that he doesn't know who he is.

Keep hanging up the phone on yourself.

Therefore, Rice would never give Lin Feng a chance to hang up the phone easily.

Secretary Rice! Lin Feng's eyes shrank slightly. Lin Feng had expected that the United States might cause trouble for him. But he didn't expect that the US Secretary of State Rice would actually call him so early and in person.

Making a phone call. This was a bit beyond Lin Feng's expectations. And this woman has always been known for her bold and spicy remarks. It seemed that there was definitely nothing good she could do when she called him this time.

"Haha, hello, Secretary Rice. I feel so honored. I didn't expect you to call me in person. Do you have anything good to tell me?" Lin Feng said with a smile.

Rice snorted coldly.

"Mr. Lin, there are good things. But it is also possible that the good things will turn into bad things." Secretary of State Rice said coldly.

"Oh, a good thing turned into a bad thing, let's talk about it!" Lin Feng asked with a smile.

"Mr. Lin, I hope you will stop interfering in African affairs, or to put it bluntly, I hope you will stop interfering in Libyan affairs! Otherwise, you will lose more than you gain! What you gain in Libya may be far less than what you lose.
