So-called “foreign aid” is just a platform for corruption, or even worse - outright influence buying and destabilization programs from foreign governments.
Of course, African government elites benefit
Citizens of African countries should demand an end to such corrupt programs.
I agree.
One word....KICKBACKS
As old as politics itself....which is why democrats are screaming bloody murder about DOGE......the one’s that are screaming the loudest are most likely the biggest grifters.
It is also destroying African economy!
The locals cannot compete with FREE help, so they fold.
Just imagine, if China started shipping FREE cars to the US!
The unions will be in arms, dumping will be declared and stopped!
The “help” is actually dumping our surpluses on Africa. They should reject it, unless some real emergency happen.
Of course, most of it ends in the pockets of “connected” people in Africa anyway.
That makes me think of the Prime Minister of the bankrupt Duchy of Grand Fenwick coming up with a scheme to declare war on the USA and then surrender to get “foreign aid”, but they accidently win the war, and find out that they are the smallest super power in the world and still get the money.
