As a medium of exchange the current global currency regime has failed us by introducing additional friction instead of lubrication to trade between African countries with their brothers and in instances fostering an exportation of capital, not for any goods or service but to merely acquire foreign currency in order to then trade with another brother African nation - yes in many regards this is self-enforced by African Central Banks and Governments Policies, however the inherent designs that foster these trends are an organic consequence of the foundation architectures from direct Colonial rule, the Bretton Woods System and Modern Western Imperialism.
