  • A worker adjusts brocade in a loom at the Veba textile factory in Broumov, Czech Republic, Tuesday, Sept. 25, 2012. When the managers of a textile factory in northern Czech Republic declared they would focus sales on Africa, their bankers, insurers and suppliers shook their heads in disbelief. A decade later, the decision is paying off.

The textiles are of a better quality than those shipped in from China and have become a favorite among Africa�s Mecca-bound pilgrims. (AP Photo/Petr David Josek)
