This whole commentary on Africa being required to meet ICAO standards is nothing but a demonstration of complete naivety when it comes to knowing the region.
Yes, we can all babble on about what they should be doing and the banning and the chastising but if you haven't been out to Africa or to its neighbours in the Middle East then you are not qualified to pass comment nor judgment about how things are done here.
The governments are structured differently, officials are either corrupt, inept or both - and those who are trying to do things by the book are blocked from all sides due to kickbacks, lack of funding and quite commonly - a laid-back "maņana" attitude that is prevalent everywhere.
It's a mix of culture and education that causes it.
I managed to stay out of this thread for a whole six pages having now learned to ignore the utter hogwash that gets written between the races to see who gets to post the METAR. TAF or registration first, but couldn't hold my tongue once folks start treating Africa as "just like Europe".
Naive and inexperienced. Don't talk rubbish about things you know nothing about.
