Here comes the CLINTONS!!! A sh*thole country with GOLD they can steal! BEWARE Ethiopians!

[VietVet876]

I’d like to see Tony Beets, his family and his dredges down there. They might need a thousand armed mercs for protection but the show would be great.

Todd Hoffman is on his way.

Do starving Ethiopians prefer salt and pepper on their gold?

[NorthMountain]

It’s a schist-hole.

[DannyTN]

How much would it cost to buy Ethiopia?
Population 102.4 million
per capita income $660.

So $66 billion would cover a years income for the entire country. I say we offer them $300 billion, and they all have to move somewhere else.

There could be a sequel to Roger Moore’s movie Gold now.

That should pay for a lot of infrastructure and industrialization to lift the Ethiopian people out of poverty. That, and unicorn ranching.

[Liberty Valance]

We're off to Ethiopia boys. We've got to get there before the hoopleheads or Mr. Hearst.

[lurk]

Sounds like a great opportunity for terrorists, slavers, poachers, smugglers, Clintons and the like.

[Wilhelm Tell]

I hope the Ethiopians prosper from this - the entire country, not just some well-connected people and foreigners.

Exactly — the legendary “gold of Ophir” in the Bibe. The horn of Africa is the best of the several suggested locations of “Ophir”, if for no other reason than 1) its proximity to the Red Sea and Israel’s port of Eilat, and 2) the linguistic proximity of “Ophir” to “Afar”, the people who still inhabit the horn region.

[SERKIT]

Keep the Clinton Global Initiative FAR away from this news....

[Redbob]

"Au-some potential?"

Geez, I hate cheap puns!

[JimRed]

There is undoubtedly much more world-class gold within this area than has already been discovered, pointing to a promising source of income for the government for years to come –

Given the typical behavior of governments in that region, they will prosper while the people beg for scraps or starve.

[abb]

Did you say "gold?"

[bert]

Well, well....... good for gold mining stocks/funds

Good news gets better and better

[DCBryan1]

There is so much gold believed below Bodie, CA that it could get CA completely out of debt and fund CALPERS, the rail , new reservoirs, water, everything......but the liberal environmental whackos don’t want strip mining.
