African nations chase away the almighty dollar - Governments, looking to boost local currencies, impose penalties for dollar use

Starting next year, Angola will require oil and gas companies to pay tax revenue and local contracts in kwanza, its currency, rather than dollars. Mozambique wants companies to exchange half of their export earnings for meticais, hoping to pull more of the wealth in vast coal and natural-gas deposits into the domestic economy. And Ghana is seeking similar ways to reinforce “the primacy of the domestic currency,” after the cedi plummeted more than 17% against the dollar in the first six months of this year.

We are all the sum of our tears. Too little and the ground is not fertile, and nothing can grow there. Too much and the best of us is washed away.
