He killed his people for nothing.
This is nonsense.
1. Your continent has more than enough disposable GDP to afford a satellite for anything. If it's really for telecom services in the region, then the companies there will gladly buy into it, especially if there really is a $500M/yr profit to be earned from it. But a quick search reveals that African owned satellites (even for telecom) are already in space. Ouch.
2. This is a lending organization. Lending between countries rarely generates profits, ever. It generates partial ownership (non-sanctioned and with no power), but almost never profits. You're also vying against other countries for this money (not just African countries), so it's not like they won't give you money to do what you want because they're trying to oppress you. It's because they can't afford to without letting other countries starve, etc.
Secondly, and oddly, if you can afford to start your own money fund, how can you not afford to put a satellite in space? Contradiction. Ouch.
3. Bullshit. So much positive spin on his propaganda here. No mention of anything that caused this civil war, and none of it to do with monetary issues or western civilizations. It was completely independent, and it started about the same time as in Egypt and Tunisia. To put it simply, the rest of the world doesn't care about $300,000,000. Not enough to kill a dictator and start a civil war. We spend more than that every day in the middle east (the US) against a huge majority decision here (ie: we don't want to be there, but we spend a lot of money to be there). If we were really hurting so badly for money, it'd be easier to pull out and save the money versus manufacturing a civil war in a country to potentially save $300,000,000 when that country would incur billions in damage. Funnily enough, creating that uprising would cost far more than $300,000,000.
This video is just a whiny African moron who has every fact wrong. Also, he's sitting in a nice office in a nice suit, telling us that they don't have money. The smallest things speak volumes, sir.
