PERFECT CASTING Sarkozy’s Gender Revolution
Spiegel nline – Jun 29, 2007
They’re women they’re from minority backgrounds and they’re feminists. Until recently those weren’t exactly trump cards for someone striving to build a political career in France even less so when they were trying to build that career in the conservative UMP party.

2 million barrels per day or 21 percent of total daily imports. But the oil producers are among the sickest countries in Africa. While poorer nations such as Senegal Mali Liberia Burundi Ghana and others have made democratic advancements the oil countries are still mostly run by weak or illegitimate leaders. Angola is emerging from one of the continent's longest-running civil wars. Chad which has only been exporting oil for a few years is in the depths of one. Chad's crude reaches African export terminals in oil-rich Cameroon whose president has been in power for a quarter of a century. Next door is Equatorial Guinea where per capita gross domestic product boosted by oil revenues is among the highest in the world while its ranking on the United Nations human-development index is near the bottom.
