Many Africans say openly how much they hate the Lebanese. I wonder why.

"The Lebanese have discovered that the best way of surviving, where the regime you're doing business with could be overthrown tomorrow, is to court the powerful - whoever they are. And an aspiring West African "big man" knows he has to do business with the Lebanese if he has any hope of getting rich. Many Africans say openly how much they hate the Lebanese in their respective countries." (thanks Nabeel)
