RE: RE: News like this out of Mali Sucks Governments come and go...but all governments need funding, and governments (especially military ones), don't know how to run businesses, stores, agri-ops, mines! They rely on profits from all these operations for funding through taxation. It has always been in any government's best interest to keep operations going as smoothly as possible. No one wants to kill the golden goose. Takeovers generally involve radio stations, newspapers, and other sources of propaganda, where we will soon learn how wonderful the new government is! jmho.
