for this to happen, any outside aid would have to stop.... and that "aid" would include international companies running things for them. I don't know all the details, but I imagine that foreign companies with big investments there will try to keep the lights on.
Oh yeah, as long as there is a buck to be made. Unfortunately, sometimes that buck cost you more than its worth, the whites left Africa not because the blacks wanted them gone, but because it was no longer profitable enough to be worth the trouble. You don't think the rich British Colonials really gave a shit about the Zulu's, they basically said "fuck it", you can have the shithole back. Nobody is buying diamonds much anymore, that market is in the shitter.
