How bright is the future of Africa?
Africa has often been considered a doomed continent, and it is quite commont to hear many dismissive comments about it. Columnists have widely doubted from Africa’s capacity to catch-up with industrialized countries, because of wars, poverty, lack of infrastructures, corruption, political confrontations, etc.
Yet Africa's growth has been nearing 5% since 2000, and is becoming an increasingly appealing economic actor. Foreign investments were $9 billion in 2000 and surged to $62 billion in 2008 (McKinsey). New initiatives for women empowerment, child protection, and fair trade are helping to improve the social conditions of the continent. The urban population is growing and more and more households are reaching the middle-class, about 13% of the African population according to the African Development Bank.

But obstacles do persist. Power cuts, autocratic governments, high transportation costs, misguided foreign aid, and other problems are still causing Africa to lag behind other world economies. The rise of the “African Lions”, although very promising, does not represent the reality of the whole continent. Moreover, according to the African Development Bank by 2060, only 43% of the population is expected to be middle-class.

HOW I WAS CURED FROM HERPES VIRUS
I am writing this testimonial with immense gratitude and a renewed sense of hope in my heart. For years, I battled with the physical and emotional torment caused by the herpes virus. It felt like an unending struggle, until I discovered a remarkable solution that changed my life forever. Like many others, I had tried countless remedies, medications in search of a cure. I had lost hope, resigned to the belief that herpes was something I would have to live with indefinitely. However, fate intervened and led me to a breakthrough that altered the course of my life. Upon stumbling on a revolutionary treatment option, my skepticism slowly transformed into a flicker of hope. The treatment was a natural remedy from Dr Awase [ HERBS ] Over time, as I followed the treatment diligently, I started noticing positive changes and I experienced a boost in my overall well-being. I am ecstatic to share that I am now herpes-free confirmed by my Dr after a test was done. The treatment I received was nothing short of miraculous and I couldn't be more grateful. I have regained my self-confidence and the burden that once weighed heavily upon me has been lifted. I was cured of my herpes virus through natural medication.
If you, like me, have been struggling with herpes and searching for a way out, please know that hope exists. May my story inspire hope in the hearts of those who need it. He also specializes in getting rid of HPV, OVARIAN CYST, PCOS, HEPATITIS and a lot more.
