Notwithstanding four years of lobbying by Manuel, Mbeki and other Third World politicians for BWI reform, the succession of IMF leadership was less amenable to Africa in 2004 than in 2000. In the earlier struggle over the managing director’s post, Africa’s finance ministers adopted what Time described as a ‘clever’ strategy: nominating Stanley Fischer, the Zambian-born, South African-raised acting managing director of the IMF. But Fischer’s ‘fatal flaw’ was his US citizenship, so Kohler got the job instead, in view of the unwritten rule that divides such spoils between the US and Europe.|28| 2004 saw no such clever attempt, and Africa’s finance ministers expressed hope, instead, for merely a few more advisors to Rato and more resources for the two African executive directors.|29|
