Years ago I read an article on foreign aid to Africa in the WSJ. They blamed government subsidized wheat dumping on Africa as a problem. An african farmer was interviewed, who said something I will never forget: "You can't compete with free."

Agreed. I also heard an African missionary saying “No more aid for God’s sake!”.

Our leftwing Government agencies are PAUPERISING these people.

Plus they also have their own problems, which some of my fellow FReepers have touched on.

Let’s remove some of the external pressures at least, and stop drowning Africa with free stuff.
