Africa's relative isolation in the world economy would cushion the continent from some of the effects of belt-tightening, diverted resources and possible recession in the rich nations ... The impact on the poorer countries will be actually much less because they are not well integrated to the world economy, so that declines or recessions in the rich industrialised countries will have a marginal effect on the poorer countries."

Despite the fact that prostitution is illegal in Angeles not one person has been convicted of this crime. The prostitution trade is controlled by foreign gangs who rake in millions while the girls suffer on a bowl of rice a day. Young girls are forced to work up to twenty hours a day and are expected to sevice up to 100 customers a week. Most of the gangs that run the prostitution trade are foreigners. They pay off corrupt police, military and city hall officials. The girls are locked away to sleep watched over by armed security gaurds who carry batons, electric prods and shotguns."
