I'm not an expert, but losing France as a customer of cocoa (especially now after the panic about dwindling supplies, see http://www.ibtimes.com/chocolate-crisis-world-running-out-cocoa-1725909 http://www.ibtimes.com/chocolate-crisis-world-running-out-co...) doesn't seem like a huge deal. :) Also "oil" is generally pretty salable, there ought to be other customers.
- ptaipale 12y agoIf losing France would mean an EU embargo - which is a bit doubtful IMO - that would be more significant. But I don't think it's feasible to say that France could prevent a former colony from selling oil when we see that the so-called Islamic State in Syria and Iraq - way beyond pariah - makes significant profits in oil sales. http://english.alarabiya.net/en/perspective/analysis/2014/08/28/Experts-ISIS-makes-up-to-3-million-daily-in-oil-sales.html http://english.alarabiya.net/en/perspective/analysis/2014/08...
