I heard that they're one of the few countries in that region of Africa that doesn't subjugate the white minority populations.

I can understand why the Africans would want to genocide the wh*te people there, but good on them for forgiving and moving forward. Lots of whites from Zimbabwe and South Africa and Namibia are also moving there as well, from what I heard.

The diamond industry is huge, but they've really been focusing on developing manufacturing and banking because they know that countries get fucked when they depend on natural resources.

>>67616547
You should and report to /int/. How does he like it?

>>67616648
They're really mindful of minorities, even the whites. They even have a council with representatives from each minority group, and the govt is required to get advice from them on any provision that might affect them. bretty cool imo

He wouldn't want to live anywhere else - he calls it his homeland and loves living there. He spends most of his time enjoying the outback areas and photographing the nature there. I'm happy for him - he's probably going to die in the next 10 years, so I'm glad he's content where he is. I only really speak to him at Christmas time on the phone, so it will be good to catch up with him over there in the summer or something

lovely flag they got

That's awesome. It sounds really comfy there if you like being surrounded by nature. They've been developing their eco tourism something fierce because there's so much untamed land and very few problems with poachers and shit.

It'll get better over time with better nutrition and education, African countries and other 3rd-world shitholes haven't experienced the Flynn Effect yet because of these factors

Instead of colonising a random patch of dirt in Africa we should cleanse our own countries.

>A mid-sized country of just over 2 million people, Botswana is one of the most sparsely populated nations in the world.


They learned the Canadian secret: everything just works better when you're sparsely populated. You can split your natural resource wealth among fewer citizens and everyone gets to be richer.


Birth control motherfuckers -- it makes your country better.

Stop jacking off Botswana it's pathetic.

>>67620170
Actually it's much harder to distribute services when everyone is so far from each other, also a really low population will hurt them down the line in regards to labour force.

Botswana is still massively unequal as fuck and discriminatory towards non-Tswana and whites only geta consideration because they had daddy Britain to defend them back then.

still doesn't negate the fact that they went from literal mud hut dindus to quickly developing country with a competent government in like 3 decades while all of their neighbors were chimping out.

>Stop jacking off Botswana it's pathetic.

fuck off, they deserve praise and recognition, even if it's on a meme forum
