sure. but at the same time, this is true of pretty much anything in Africa, due to their poor infrastructure. You have to have local firms (or self employed) making something, and selling that something, so that they can employ local people, and so on. But it's often cheaper to build/make/farm that something in EU/Asia/Americas and ship it to Africa. Something has to break this cycle.
