The African Union (all African countries except Morocco) has only 2% of the world's international trade. Because over 90% of international trade consists of currency futures, Africa's 2%, however, actually makes up the bulk of real commodity traded worldwide, including about 70% of the world's strategic minerals, including gold and aluminum. Africa is also a large market for American and European industry (money earned from selling natural resources are spent to purchase Western-made goods).
Like they say on EuroNews, 'No comment.'
