There are around 42 separate currencies in Africa. Most of them, tied to the currencies of former colonizers, suffer from foul play and legalized international fraud, carried out by the former masters of Africa.

Esteemed Professor PLO Lumumba explains how this could be done and what obstacles are in the way.
