FdVorS International
Markets Rather
Than Assistance

United Nations CAMP - M.
Issoufou Saidou Djermakoye of
Niger has emphatically suggested
to fellow delegates to the UN Cen
eral Assembly that there be Great
ed international markets for trop-
ical products.
IF Africans depend too much on
international assistance" he said,
ut is partly because of the diff
culties they experience in finding
sufficient, stable markets for their
products.
Africa Is not poor. 1t is a reser-
voir of raw materials for the en-
tire world. But it has only a lin
tied number of primary products
which thus have a basic role In the
commercial balance Of African
States"
He proposed that 20 African ma
lions establish and African-Mal-
agasy common market that will
serve as a middleman between the
states and international organiza-
lions that may be called upon to
finance important national or in
ternational projects"
