Phi Beta Iota:  This is of special interest because of the regional intelligence sharing capability set up in relation to the Canary Islands, and the general acknowledgement that Africa is no more stable today than it was before 800 million was invested by external parties.  One might ask: should intelligence be proposing SOLUTIONS for the future of Africa rather than trying to stem the rising tide of illegal immigration?
