About damn time. Now how soon until Africa collectively wisens up?
This is great news...And I expect someone to assassinate Mr. Remengesau in short order. Or at the very least for the WTO or IMF to put heavy sanctions on Palau. However, if it works out, I'll bet that this is way better for the economy of Palau in the long term. I can imagine what pristine reefs will do for tourism once many of them are dead.
