Walter Rodney in his book,'How Europe Underdeveloped Africa' already postulated that AID is RAID!!!!!! Foreign countries (The Western) from the days of W.W. Rostow...now Africa experiences a new post colonial 'plunderer' in the form of China.Poverty IS structural, and some of the African leaders are still happy to be 'pawns' in the hands of neo-colonialists....
Dambisa you generalize Africa like its one country. You also completely disregard the power of global politics. Hit the point and tell Western Countries to stop asking for big favours and in return Africa is paid with aid packages. Which we citizens don't benefit. Do you think for all these years these Western Countries have not realized what you are saying is true. Its a whole system which cannot be destroyed in one day till someone hits the point. Neo-Colonialism is real please.
Wrong direction without navigation for 50 plus years is intentional.just donate food and ideology without seeds to reproduce is intentional.
