Both the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (NATO), and the
European Union (EU), have belatedly realised that strengthening
democracies worldwide, is in their own best interests, if the relentless
march of fascism and totalitarianism around the globe, is to be halted.
Better late then never. Excellent. Cool.
So serious have
they become about facing up to today's tyrannical regimes, that that
they are apparently now prepared to abandon their parsimony towards
struggling democracies in Africa, such as Ghana - and are thus willing
to allocate resources towards that noble end: because they are aware that
poverty is the bitterest enemy of democracy.
Luckily for all
concerned, the yearning for freedom, is universal, and beats in the
hearts of all humans, regardless of race. That makes the task of
executing a digital-age equivalent, of the post-World War11 Marshall
Plan, which the US used to help speed up Europe's reconstruction, a
great deal easier.
The same zeal, and innovative thinking, by
NATO and the EU, in the digital age, can help stop the relentless march
of fascism and totalitarianism, around the globe, today - especially in
Africa: where the influence of China and Russia is growing steadily.
The
question is: Why do NATO and the EU not select Ghana - a unique African
melting-pot society, made up of a wise and aspirational citizenry, from
different ethnicities, who are mostly united, by marriage and ties of
consanguinity, in extended family clans nationwide, and are famous for
their welcoming nature and peace-loving disposition - for a pilot
economic transformation initiative that they can replicate across
Africa, if successful?

Why do NATO and the EU not replicate the post- Word War11 Marshall Plan across Africa?
