  • when its given to them without question or comment.

    So our involvement makes the problem much worse. If we never involved in africans well being their population would be similar or much smaller at this time. And they would actually be able to share their income for a society to emerge.

    Now thats impossible, because we got a overpopulated africa dependant on our food supplies and theyre all bone meagre completely unable to do anything.

  • Now theyre overpopulated without any kind of self production. And meanwhile the western societies are being in a recession and are forced to close one or more institutions, and food supply to african countries for example is one of those in danger to be closed.

    What will happen to the africans?

    THEY ALL DIE.

    We supplied all their food.

    So they can die from starvation once our society cripples.

    Africans didnt ask for this, but you cant blame someone for accepting medical and food aid

  • It's not africas fault other then that they dont work, its our fault.

    Africa never demanded or suggested they would independantly improve their societies.

    We the western countries supplied food supplies for decades. Which skyrocketed the african population.

    But the africans didnt ask for this.

    Stupid organisations are born that ask our money to supply food for africa.

    BUT THIS IS STUPID.

    WE actually finance the supply of africas overpopulation, without africans actually asking for it.

  • Africa has been plagued by natural disasters since the beginning of time, which have contributed to much of the destruction of its wild life and human life. Yet these are the checks and balances of Mother Nature, ones which humans have no control over. The continent also holds vast riches that have been exploited in the name of Colonialism, but what greater treasure is there than human life itself? Therein lies the heart of the matter, for the degradation of Africa is the greatest loss of man.

  • The biggest problem of Africa is no matter how much aid they constantly demand and receive, they themselves hardly show any self-will to positively develop their current situation.

    We all know what the long, hard time they went through, and that shall never be forgotten nor denied. However, Now africans have the chance to show genuine efforts for better. The first step is to overthrow their specially sinister corruption. Then, Africa will have more power to use as strategy.

  • Is Africa addicted to AID....isn't it obvious...a BIG YES....

    I think its more extortion than AID. If the Western countries tried to manage the African AID, the African nations trot out that colonialism thing....grown up people...

  • Racial comments are idiotic. Stick to the discussion about aid. Looks to me like they've been wasteful, counterproductive. Lone advocate works for the World Bank and has a vested interest in marketing aid.

  • ROTHSCHILD OWN EVERYTHING...THEY ARE TO BLAME!!!!! THE AFRICAN PEOPLE ARE IN WORST CONDITIONS THEN ANYONE!!!! HOW ARE THESE NOT GODS PEOPLE!!!

  • I don't hate my own race, holy shit that is far below retarded, congratulations.

  • You may not care whether i die or not, but i care whether you die or not, I WANT you to die. Your invented ideas about superiority and and your invented ideas about connections with other whites and your invented ideas about ownership of land insult my intelligence and just generally make me want to puke. Your ideas are a fucking cancerous plague.

  • @8Libertine8 if blacks were equal as they want to be they should be able to run their countries without aid like other humans do. if they are not capable (and they arent) then they should be considered no different to animals that rely on humans for food, thats basicaly what they are. the only cancerous plague is money draining niggers

  • @hereticarmy Your problem is you make assumptions with lack of information and stick to them as if they were fact and build even more wrong assumption off those assumptions. Please just kill yourself, your too far gone and irresponsible. Have you ever watched "Deadliest Catch" or Jerry Springer? Ever heard those white people say ONE intelligent thing? No its a bunch of crappy one liners.

  • @8Libertine8 your problem is that you are sick with hatred for your own race and against the truth about blacks, read what u said in your comment, u already know what u need to be, the jews have brainwashed you, you are too far gone

  • @hereticarmy Oh just like Greece needed foreign aid and so forth. Africa has been played by the U.S and Europe. Now the European countries/U.S are manipulating their own people. You have Spain, Greece, Ireland etc going bankrupt because their governments mishandled their money. The monetary system is failing and money is being printed with no standard behind it. It's asinine how people proclaim Africa as being inefficient when they have been played the same way repeatedly by these forces.

  • @hereticarmy You also have to factor in their own corruption by their own people. Oh and to assume African countries are the only ones receiving foreign aid constantly is inane. This implies you no nothing of the world around you and history for that matter.

  • Why would anyone in their right mind want to help Niggers to multiply!! OMG! just look at the niggers in America and Europe! Let those niggers die! who likes niggers anyway?!

  • @MrDhmik I do, a german/sweede, you fucking waste of skin, stop breathing our air, we need it for our larger brains you god damned dumb fuck.

  • @8Libertine8 lol why would anyone in their 'right mind'.... That obviously doesn't apply to you, worthless nigger lover. And you call me dumb.. lol I'm also German/swede and I prefer to aid my own. Niggers can die for all I care.

  • @MrDhmik

    Shut up

  • @CrowdPleeza My point was that we must aid our own... make of it what you will.

  • as your feelings about china has nothing to do with africa? its not even comparable. the majority of china lives above 1dollar aday. ubnlike africa,

  • C.A.P must be Common Agriculture something? i've hear of them. they helped africans i guess, wich is a good thing for them, bad for us. now, CIA raping Africa and installing goverments is...a..good thing? for us? bad for them? idk. and di we force our money on them? hmm i'd rather say they beg us for it. you must be thinking of South Africa. they one nation with economic power. otherwise im not sure Ethiopia would've better off with out our help. ^_-

  • ...........Erhm...I admit this- I did not know that CIA was European. "sigh" and China is poorer than Africa? Its merley a capitalist lie man. Havnt you heard? wich is the richest country in the world? is it china? and yes, the people is still quite poor. but they dont live in house made of elephant poop. and we keep sending food and donating money giving them clothes, schools and still they mess it up.

    and i dont care about America, lol i hate usa

  • During a summit in Brussels last week (19-20th of June) , the EUs presidents and prime ministers agreed an agenda for action against poverty. The summit reiterated the Member States commitment to devoting 0.56 percent of thecollective national income to development aid by 2010, rising to 0.7 percent by 2015. As a result, aid should double to 66 billion euros (103 billion dollars) within the next two years, with half of the increase going to Africa.

    reed this, Also remember all things UK did.

  • Hello, Yes I am aware. But i dont think we should continue helping them. This all might sound evil. But we must face Africa "most of it" is a lost cause. And the time will come when we need the aid ourselves. And thanks for a nice responce. Most people replyes with things like "STFU Retard or racist fuck etc"

    So you get a :-)

  • Lies, damn lies, and world bank statistics.

    Haha, I like that.

    Cross Talk keeps getting better and better. Peter Lavelle knows how to pick a variety of guests and grill them against each other to flush out the real info. Great stuff.

  • Exactly, Haiti was hit by unfair trade also. The farmers of the developing nations can't compete at all.

  • Thanks RT,

    this was a very good discussion to listen to. These speakers (except the world bank guy) were really genuine and have logically found the problem to the situation, the World Bank IMF and their corporate AID deals with each country, mostly exploiting the resources and then crippling with large interest under the name of AID.

    I find this reality hard to absorb, even though I know its true, but just because the Imperial Northern Powers have brainwashed me to think the AID is good.

  • Give one reason why Europe should care about Africa?

  • If aid is so much waste, imagine bad loans? Who adopted these political or government systems to young nations? Money itself is never solution, or it's amount, it is what you can manage to do with it, how locally you can use it to support local system. Not so much immigrants if people are happy to their family and home, and less overpopulation and dropping dead ratio of children and infants.

  • Bank bailouts, war, genocide and fascism. Superior?

  • I'm loving these comments.

  • I'm really surprised that RT has a representative from the World Bank here, especially when so much of the criticism of Africa's current condition is centered around World Bank loans.

  • Negro people have a lower IQ than whites and Orientals and will never be able to create advanced and orderly societies. Unfortunately, the white man's science and medicines has caused a population explosion in Africa and since Africans now rule themselves and most whites have left or been forced out, blacks in Africa are going to be asking the rest of the world for aid forever. Of course, "the rest of the world" means white countries, because China, India have their own poor to feed and clothe.

  • @ray25620, Racists do not have a high intelligence quotient. Racism is the epitome of non-intelligence. All you saw was "Africa" and "Aid" in the RT title and that was enough to inspire you to compose your hideously uneducated racist comment.

  • @ray25620,

    Negro? Oriental?

    The year is 2010.

  • White racist plz look at this video. History is white washed & you guys are so damn ignorant to African civilizations. This is not some Afrocentrist bullshit video. This is a real documentary from the BBC. I'm tired of ppl believing that Africans are and always were savages bcuz the FACT is that is simply a white supremacist lie. I have no problem w/ decent minded caring whites, but the bombardment of racist comments on youtube is ridiculous. Why live & die in ignorance?

    watch?v=iYMkTxNQGGU

  • Africa will remain poor as long as it insists on picking incompetent leaders like Kibaki and Mugabe. It will remain poor as long as intelectuals defend these people and their cleptomaniac policies

    Forget about reparations, it is not going to happen. Ever. Move on.

    Look towards the future, not the past. Learn from countries that are going up like Botswana, the Asian Tigers and some Latin American countries or grovel in your hovel and blame everyone else for your misery.

    ¡Adios!

  • @TheRabitPoo: I never mentioned nationalism. This argument is getting rather stale.

  • @TheRabitPoo: My mistake, I misread. I thought you refered to the third Reich, you did not.

    Now addmit the SAN massacres or admit that your racism does not allow you to see the suffereing of anyone other than a black persons.

    Admit that when it comes to plain brutality, even the Islam can't hold a candle to Africa. Check what happened in Rwanda in 1994 if you don't believe me.

  • @TheRabitPoo: Who said anything about nationalist?

  • @TheRabitPoo: Were you for or against sanctions against the Apartheid regime in South Africa?

  • Blame Switzerland banking system, and the extremely corrupt cruel, bigoted undereducated hypocrite leaders of those poor countries.

    The Aid u send to those poor countries doesnt get to the hands of the poor free of charge. It end up SOLD to them and the money is DEPOSITED in SWITZERLAND banks by their corrupt leaders!!

    I bet if u go to one of those countries, you will SEE A BAG of RICE has written in it (in red) *USA AID* and is been SOLD to those poor ppl and NOT given to them for free!!

  • @TheRabitPoo: Compare Sierra Leone with Botswana. Both has diamonds. 30 years ago they had the same levels of income. Botswana is the best run country in Africa. This is the example to follow, not Zimbabwe which is the worst run country.

    Sierra Leone was not as well run and today has an average income about one tenth of Botswana. Why? Tribalism. Botswana is free of that, only one tribe.

    I fear for SA when the Zulus and Xhosas grab each other again.

    African = tribalist = racist

  • @TheRabitPoo: I never denied anything, you are laying words in my mouth. What you are denying is the genocide of the SAN people by black people because you are a racist. If it is black, it must be good, if it isn't, it must be bad.

    Black people are killing black people by the hundreds of thousands each year. It is called tribalism which is actually the same problem as racism.

    Hutu vs Tutsi, Kikuyu vs Kalenjin vs Masai, Borana vs Gabana, Zulu vs Xhosa, Hereo vs Ovambo, Matabele vs Shona

  • Exactly that and were witnessing the same thing in Muslim lands. They demonize Muslims and conduct false flag operations like 9/11 so they can steal the oil, natural gas, uranium, cobalt and opium poppies in Muslim lands.

  • @TheRabitPoo, you have to understand the vast majority of Americans are far too uneducated and brainwashed to do any research on their own as you can see in the many fascist racist comments made here so they rely on fascists Glenn Beck, Rush Limbaugh and Bill O'Reilly to inform them. All they saw was "Africa" and "Aid" in the RT video title and that was enough to send them into their racist fits of rage. The have no idea that they are world renown for being stupid.

  • @TheRabitPoo: You are not honnest - publish your "facts" on an open forum so everyone can see them. As I said I have no intention of getting involved in a discussion you do not want to do in the open forum.

    Your ideas of facts may differ from those of others, so please publish the or shut up.

    BTW I have blocked you.

  • world bank is owned by the rothschilds and their puppets

  • All aid to africa should be cut, its the only way they will evolve.

  • IMF has been enaslaving and exploiting Africa ever since they have been colonized which is euphemism for enslavement.

  • End all neo colonial chains tying Africa with the parasitical US & Europe.African wealth & lands in African hands.

  • lolol we need to improve are organization but are we? fuck that we are making bank fuck you people

  • Blacks are lazy to work and provide food to their families yet they go and have 100 kids cause they love fucking their wives and we need to show compassion instead of tell em "NIGGER WHAT THE FUCK!!!"

  • the most common and demeaning word in the mouth of stupid european and american politicians are "minority" ethnic groups uttered as a rearffirmation of their secret oaths to increase white birthrate while destroying others`!!!

    You guys know for sure that these same AFRICAN KIDS whom your people have worked so hard UNSUCCESSFULLY to kill off by any means necessary MUST take back what is theirs...and we must continue to BREEEEEED and MULTIPLYYYYYYYYYYYY...HA HAAA HAAAA HAAAAAAAA

  • we know that africa is set for genocide, what we don't get is the laziness of black people, My point is if ur gonna have a lot of kids get OFF YOUR ASS and work to provide the basics to your family you lazy people, not to mention all the black women in america saying how bad their husbands treat em. you don't love ur wives all you want is sex and don't care about the outcome kids you're pure animals that's how you look no hard feelings buddy.

  • a minute spent arguing with a blank head like you would be far more productive reproducing thousands of my beautiful AFRICAN SOLDIERS who will definitely take bitter revenge on you and yours!

    Go back to your keyboard and silently anticipate your painful destruction unless,of course,you find ways to impact your blind shepherds[government of liars] to withdraw their fangs from Africa! If the blind leads the blind, both surely end up in a ditch! African kids are coming!!!

  • The american, british, chinese people only blame on them is for being so stupid letting their governments do these things to africans,

    life is a circle all these things that happen in africa will come back to all other countries, if i was a hitman wish i was the first ones i would take out would be the secret societies secret governments then all the politicians and not to forget bill gates. snipe the motherfuckas :)

  • @theagrafiotis: Just how stupid then must Africans be for letting the American, Brittish and Chinese people do there things to them?

    Stop blaming everyone else for the problems of Africa. South America was also colonised. They are not sitting in a hovel complaing about the past but now actively working towards a brighter future.

    India was colonised. China was colonised, Indonesia was colonised, Malaysia was colonised. They are getting on with life. Africa should do the same.

  • If it was not for the raping and pillaging of Africa, Europe and the USA would not be where they are today. Europe and the USA owes Africa big time.

  • @Brommear, who gives a fuck about what a white supremacist sitting in colonized Chile has to say?

  • @SolomanKane2k8: Maybe the same poeple that gives a fuck about what you have to say in the USA.

  • Arguments from fascist racists have no legs.

  • @torturelaser: Dream on. Africans are fleeing Africa in their thousands and would do so in millions if they could. Where are they going? To Europe. Why? Because in Europe they have a chance of a better life than in thea misrable place called Africa.

    African soldiers my ass. You can't even keep the peace in Somalia or Darfur - incompetent and corrupt.

  • good point, if the people in africa wise up none of this would happen but the human mind is easy to be manipulated plus blacks are too lazy to do anything which makes things worse.

  • @theagrafiotis, It can be said that the vast majority of your ancestors were and still are lazy. The killing of the indigenous Native American Indian, the enslavement of Africans to build America, the toppling of democratically elected governments worldwide. Even now you have killed over one million Muslims because you do not want to pay for the oil, natural gas, cobalt or opium poppies in Muslim lands. That is what you call truly fucking lazy.

  • @theagrafiotis, You want to talk about lazy you inbred bucktoothed fascist bitch. Bank bailouts are the epitome of lazy. stealing tax payers money to line your pockets.

  • yo people are not responsible for their dictators crimes, now you accuse american people for crimes done by their governments, i didn't vote for none of these motherfuckers. same thing in africa i don't blame the people for their dictators crimes i blame them for being too lazy to provide the basic needs to their families, if you're too lazy to feed your family you shouldn't make one and the only one to blame on that is you.

  • @theagrafiotis, Your nation is an tyrannical kleptocratic empire so you need to shut the fuck up.

  • its not just my nation is everywhere so we need to inform each other instead of saying shut the fuck up. have you seen this video???

    /watch?v=FtNfCHjIHow

  • hear another dumb fuck talking about keeping the peace in somalia and Dafur!!!

    The Germans pounded Britain, poland, france etc, for years fool! Nothern Ireland is stil burning in the hands of terrorists and the ETA rebels are stiill destroying Spain, stupid!!

    You whine about African kids coming to Europe...what are the disgusting "whites" doing in South Africa, Zimbabwe and the rest of Africa??? I sense you`re so knob and retarded to think of how and why they fled europe: HUNGER AND DESEASE!!

  • Stop aid to Africa.

    /watch?v=FtNfCHjIHow

  • more condoms, fuck the pope and his pedophile brigades

  • Hell yeah thank u so much for this video!!!

  • no they don`t want to develop they want to stay as is so they don`t have to work to money

  • thank you Fironze Manji and James Shikwazi for your intelligent and articulate presentations! Your boldness is admirable!

    The average european and american in the streets are so misled and herded like dumb herds of sheep into thinking that Africa and Africans depend on them for survival when,in reality,it is the other way round!

    To my fellow Africans all over world: NOT EVEN THE WEAKEST CREATURE IS FOOLISH ENOUGH TO THINK THAT ITS OWN PREDATOR MEANS WELL FOR IT!!! FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT!!!

  • if they can make so much money why don`t they instead of taking the US's

  • i would jive my life for any off you and so would a lot off other countrys . you now own Iceland and they will jive there lifes to

  • they want more money if he makes it look bad people will care and give them money they don`t need if he makes them look good people won't care

  • Dear Africa,

    The world bank does not give a shit about you repaying loans. Why would they want your money? They already have loads of currency. THEY WANT POWER. Israel is the greatest recipient of US "humanitarian aid." Do you really believe western governments giving a shit about altruism?

  • banksters again

  • To all of the racist fucks: African Immigrants have the highest lvl of educational attainment than any other groups w/ Asians right behind them in the US. This is the case for African Immigrants in many countries. Black ppl are plenty capable, but unfortunately Europeans decided to rape them & now they are getting raped by there dirty corrupt governments. Invest in African education & they'll solve their problems their damn selves w/out the evil West who still exploits them to this day...

  • "Dislike" the truth all you want. This information is readily available over the web.

  • GGLebo23: Wishful thinking at its best. African immigrants fare very badly in IQ tests and tend to end up in favelas in European cities doing the most meanial jobs that nobody else wants to do.

    Affirmative action is an admission that on a level palying field balck people still cannot compete against white or asian workers.

    A little over 10% of the UAS population is black but around 50% of prisoners are black.

    Invest in education? But that is aid and you are all against aid!!

  • Where is your proof the do badly on IQ test(a eurocentric construct)? In the US African immigrants have a median wage of $44,000 which is on par w/ the national avg.

    Affirmative Action is bullshit that hasn't done a thing for blacks, but anger whites into not wanting to hire them even more. Blacks still get discriminated against.

    Look up Iran Contra and the CIA. Those motherfuckers helped spark the crack epidemic in the 80's then create harsh drug laws to put blacks in jail.

  • Blacks were just entering the middle class after centuries of evil & discriminatory acts. After the CIA gave that helped spread that drug to major cities shit hit the fan. Crime peaked an all time high, children grew up w/o fathers, and communities were ruined indefinitely. Private prisons also use prisoners as cheap labor so there is no reason to rehabilitate.

  • @GGLebo23: I think you hav had too much of that crack yourself.

  • Lol Nice retort for a logical argument based on fact. Never tried that shit in my life.

  • Wishful thinking at best, but historically whites have only gained from unequal trading, immorality, and raping other nations of their resources. IQ's are always different numbers when it comes to race. Fact is they are just unreliable. It so obvious just by racist white youtube comments that they will do anything to defame blacks & keep them down. That will NEVER happen to me. Power structures our evident all throughout the globe & history. I would be a fool not to recognize what is occurring

  • What a fucking idiot. African immigrants have higher educational attainment bc of affirmative action and yet AA's have the lowest? If white ppl are so generous why the huge gap between the same race. Esp. if AA's have a median of about 15-20% Euro blood?

  • @GGLEBO23

    Africans & African ameriKKKans are completely different in term of culture, family values, respect & heritage.

    ameriKKKan are just a race a nation of

    P U R E of E V I L.

    Fear NOT asians will finish where Chinghis Khan coul've finished off.

    Enjoy your GREED, gluttony & insationable appetite of DEATH.

    The Asian sons, dragon & tiger have come to roost.

    Namaste

  • Um... my parents are from Jamaica so do I count?

  • You are all idiots, the C.I.A keeps Africa and 3rd world countries etc, corrupt and poor, so they wouldn't rise to 1st world status.

    If the U.S/British empire wants to stay in power, they have to keep all the other countries, under developed!

  • quit vaccinating them there governments are just as corrupt as all the rest of our governments this is all about money and it is disgusting to see this. they are beautiful people this un is part of the problem notice they sit there in nice clothes full bellies come on check into this a little farther theres more money in keeping these people poor oxford is right though peter our governments are doing this and it should be stopped

  • The real reason they are always fighting with these countries is they don't own them yet, Iran, Russia. North Korea. That is why they want to go to war with them. They don't care about the money it is worthless anyway, they want the power.

  • Blacks never invented anything ..they are just nor capable of creating .They are easy to get corrupted ...and have no order.

    Africa will be poor forever ...and please our beloved JEWS in British goverment...STOP sending more and more stupid negroes to the UK !!..THNANK YOU !

  • Most charity money raised for africa is usually spent on fucking weapons for wars...

    They use the money to kill eachother...

    Not to mention the fact that they are in debt to the west...

  • Of course Africa is addicted to aid. I'm not saying we shouldn't help poor people in there, but seriously, look at our own home countries. With the economical depression around, too MANY people have lost jobs IN EUROPE AND NORTH AMERICA. In Finland, where I live, some families live with only 200-400 euros per month, including the high taxes. Car tax, rent, TV permission tax..

    We should first help the poor families in our OWN countries, then poor countries.

  • @TheRabitPoo: Nobody was put in concentration camps or sold into slavery in Namibia. Your emotions are showing again.

    Slavery was practiced on the east coast by the Arabs and on the west coast by Europeans from West Africa with the full cooperation of local tribes.

    I'm not a jew.

  • TheRabitPoo:That argument is only weak if if doesn't fit in with your perdetermined views. That happened around the time of the "conquest" and it was the Europeans who stopped the SAN from being wiped ouit. Genocide I think it is now called.

    The German Reich in Namibia? Come now, go read a real book about the history of that period.

  • How about letting the nations in Africa become self sufficient? Most of the nations could use their coal and oil for electricity. The IMF and WTO put blocks in place so African nations cannot produce their own goods. Tough to do that without the electricity to turn on the lights in hospitals, schools and homes.

    The western nations take everything out of Africa leaving the people in poverty.

  • yes i did and i agree with you. Somebody want's the fish for themselfs ...

  • The World Bank has killed more people than smallpox. Death by usury. Let these nations develop their autarchies and sell their excess produce. Shanta is a parasitical dominionist., and the WB, IMF, aid agencies and the Catholic Church should get out ASAP.

  • @TheRabitPoo

    Wonderful statement.

  • @TheRabitPoo: What the Hereo did to the San people before that escapes your field of vision, I suppose.

  • This SHANTI is a disgrace to Asians. Shanti meaning peace add Ashanti meaning UNpeaceful.

  • @TheRabitPoo Gold: 1: China, 2:USA, 3: RSA, 4: Australia, 5:Peru, 6: Russia; 7:Canada, 8:Indonesia etc etc. Africa doesn't feature except for South Africa at no. 3.

    Diamonds: Botwana and Russia have more than 50% of all followed by Canada and Australia.

    The diamond deposits in Zimbabwe are insignificant in a world context.

  • they live in africa,its a damn desert,solar panels,make electricity,then take the electricity use sea water for makeing electrolysis,witch then can be used a fuel to heat or make stuff,then that turns back into water witch they can drink,and use the electricity for makeing water,air conditioning,truly if u have water u can grow food,with electricity u can make water,so no matter what,or not give them aid and show them the way to make what they need knowledge

  • It's great to see Russia expose these other countries that have been robbing Africa regularly!

    I've always loved and respected russia, they also had no hand in Black slavery!

  • @TheRabitPoo: The very same black people who stole the land from the San Bushman people? Are you proposing that all of Namibia, Botswana, Zimbabwe and South Africa be given back to the SAN? Or does your "indigenous people" only qualify those that "stole" land before Europeans did?

    Land reform in Zim meant taking productive farms and giving it to Mugabes buddies and family. Mazoe farm, for example, went to his wife. That is land reform in Africa.

    Incompetent and corrupt.

  • @TheRabitPoo: Far stricter sanctions against the government of Ian Smith did not result in famine in Zimbabwe. Stop thinking with your emotions and look at the reality. These arguments about the extreme riches of Africa is BS. Zimbabwe has virtually no riches so why should the West bother with it?

  • It may sound harsh, but increased wealth without population control won't eradicate poverty.

    As soon as people can fulfill their basic needs on a regular basis they reproduce, therefore creating another scarcity situation.

  • Africa does not need any "help" especially not from those who exploited it throughout the history. Africans only need that those who sucked its resources for centuries and do that even today leave the continent!

    Africans are not poor but rich and they can prosper. World is big and Africans can find nations that respect them and that are ready to cooperate with them on the basis of equality and partnership.

    Just leave Africa to Africans!

  • @TheRabitPoo: I have lived in Namibia and have visited Zimbabwe several times. Kenya only once. I have to confess I know nothing about Gambia.

    Namibia can still feed itself. I don't know how many white farmers there are left in Kenya but it is not a lot. That country is about to explode again and that will have nothing to do with farmers but with incompetent corrupt people.

    The sanctions against Zimbabwe are aimed against the megalomaniac Mugabe, not the people themselves.

  • Comment removed

  • Africa has received more aid than Germany did under the Marshall plan. In Germany people worked hard to rebuild their country. (Same thing happened in Japan).

    What has Africa got to show for it? Incompetence, nepotism, factionalism, tribalism, racism, you name it except doing the right thing.

    Stop blaming the West for your problems, face reality and do something about it.

    Just look at the news out of Nigeria today if you don't believe me.

  • The West gets exactly what is pays for. The Nigerian Government is in the pocket of Royal Dutch Shell, so it's hardly surprising that they are a bunch of rats.

  • @TheRabitPoo: You seem to have RabitPoo between your ears. Zim was a food exporting country as long as it had white farmers. Now it's population starves. That is exactly why Africa is in the mess it is. Incompetence and corruption and that will not change in our lifetime. Or our childrens'.

    I will rather support aid programmes in Latin America. At least some countries there are making progress.

  • @a23b23: Yea, like in Somala. Once he has a boat he becomes a pirate. Problem fixed. Way to go.

  • Comment removed

  • Well since foreign industries have dump toxic waste in African waters and killed all the fish thats why you have Somalia pirating for a living.

  • @Squirelbutt: Not long ago it was claimed that forreign fishing (especially Chinese) were driving the Somalis to pirating. So what is it? Or does it depend on the season?

  • Search chemical dumping in Somalia.

  • So your saying its the foreigners, that has put Somalia is its predicament ....At the bottom of the HDI  ....

  • yorubablk3 this is for you...

  • *Yawn, I see you are a professional complainer no country is perfect, but if corruption is so rampant where people starve there is a problem. When you say the West as far as supplying arms to Africa this includes China and Russia.

  • TheRabitPoo:

    The UN is evil.

    Hopefully that guy went to do some research. LOL!

  • Could be addicted to aid but definitely addicted to aids considering the comments of African statesmen like Zuma etc.

  • Very interesting topic

  • What you see here is a perpetuation of white supremacy and white saviorism.

    Black people CANNOT take care of themselves, is what they're saying. African peoples around the world need AID. AID. AID. AID. AID. AID. AID. AID. AID. AID. AID. AID. AID. AID. AID. AID. AID. AID. AID. AID. AID. AID. AID.

    We must remain at the mercy of whites, because that corruption gene prevents us from moving forward.

    It's a cute little neo-imperialist tactic that works quite well, unfortunately.

  • "What you see here is a perpetuation of white supremacy and white saviorism."

    nadoop You are absolutely right!

  • Yes, it is addicted to aid, not by the fault of the people but the corrupt governments.

  • The corrupt governments are able to stay in power because of the corrupt West that arm and fund them. Without the corrupt govs in Africa and the Middle East, Western corps can't reap billions via oil contracts and stuff like that.

    The whole world is corrupt, but somehow rich nations are able to survive to some degree, regardless of rampant corruption.

    Stop trivializing the issue.

  • I don't even consider aid as temporary. It's a fraud. People fought and died for their independence so that for the purpose of self-governance and self-determination, so why are they still under the control of these imperialists?

    Russia Today is no different, btw. The'yre 2-5 % better, but ultimately the same.

  • The United Nations is the Antichrist, period. They represent themselves as the savior of the world, while using celebrities as puppets, but then occupy just about every African country under the guise of "restoring order," as if it's in the blood of the African to be chaotic. LOL!

    The UN "peacekeeprs" have raped, murdered, and sexually abused tens of thousands of African men, women, and children. Rape is a form of subjugation and oppression, and they utilize that tactic just well.

  • Right. I don't think Africa needs the West. It's the other way around, and they know it. Western "Civilization" could not have occurred without the looting and raping of Africa.

    I find it odd that the US / UK / IMF / World Bank continue to put pressure on African countries to NOT subsidize farmers with fertilizers when they know that the continent is a drought-prone region and many of the farmers are too poor to afford fertilizers.

    Why??? I know the answer, but WHY? LOL.

  • ABC News : 2020 : Myth : Foreign Aid

    search it

  • You're only strengthening my point. But what you refuse to accept is that the so-called foreign donors know where the money goes to - to their designated entities.

    The so-called aid goes to keeping the corrupt in power while making it hard for the people to rebel.

    Transnationals gain access to Africa's resources while the average citizen does not, and that should tell you something.

    American companies are enriching themselves while the people STARVE. How do they gain access? You tell me!

  • That's why they leave the West for the "third world" where they don't have to treat employees with respect. Nike, Gap/Old Navy, Apple computers, Walmart have all been exposed as practicing child labor. Children as young as three years old have been discovered in their sweatshops.

    Those people get paid a few cents per hours, and it's sad.

  • teach them to fish

  • Every modern famine in Africa can be traced to polices of the IMF and the World Bank. Back in 2005, Malawi was facing a famine that put up to 2 mil people in jeopardy. The World Bank / IMF / US / UK forced Malawi NOT TO SUBSIDIZE its farmers with fertilizers, but the new gov. refused, and went ahead with subsidizing, AND THE FAMINE ENDED.

    WHY are they pressuring African countries to NOT subsidize their farmers when they KNOW that leads to FAMINE. We have to truly wonder WHY.

  • The western imperialists want to grab African resources. They want to get rid of the African people. They want EXTERMINATION of the Africans! They use IMF and WB as the instruments of their imperial policies. That is why they push all those policies which are harmful for the people, not just black people but also people in Eastern Europe! In fact throughput the world except in fat-cat western world.

  • Yes, you are correct! They want to destroy Eastern Europe as well.

    Ask yourself why so many people are dying of AIDS in Eastern Europe as well. :-)

  • ever thought why this shit never happened before ww2, maybe it did, but not so bad, ever thought why these diictators never that luxery mansions, its cos they lure the west into giving aid to the people, but the state takes it for their wealth

  • That's incorrect. It's the other way around. African and Caribbean / Latin American countries must be willing to abide by the rules of the IMF / World Bank / WTO / UK / US / France, ect. otherwise, they will get demonized and eventually thrown out of office.

    Those countries MUST accept the neoliberal economic policies or else. The African "leaders" don't need aid because they already have access to what the need. Throwing bags at rice at Africans is a way to cover the crimes.

  • FAST RESPONCE : But seriusly, WILL THEY, will they because democratic at the click of a thumb, be nice to their people, to abide by international law, these men are not just gonna do it

    YOU DUMB LIBERAL, SERIUSLY, NEOLIBERALISM!!???!

    WILL THEY!?!? These men will not piss on their own sons if they were on fire

  • I suppose it's utterly impossible for you to make your "point" without resorting to desperate name-calling?

    Name a country in the West where the people did not have to FIGHT to obtain rights?

    It's mighty hard for the "third world" to fight their governments for rights when they're worried about basic necessities, ain't it?

    These transnationals help stifle development and human rights movements in those countries because they help perpetuate misery by aligning with the minority elites.

  • African countries are filled with dictators, juntas, de facto governments because the multinationals install them as representative government is not in their interest. They need thugs and dictators who are willing to shit on the mass in order to enrich themselves.

  • "AID" is a neocolonial tactic used to hide the gross injustice by the West and the international mobsters (IMF, World Bank, UN, WTO) against Africa. For one, Africa is the richest continent on the planet in terms of natural resources, so why would Africa need "AID?"

    Some claim Africans have a corruption gene, and that's fine, but how come this gene doesn't prevent CHEVRON, EXXON, the MINING CORPS from reaping billions while millions of Africans starve in their own country?

  • Africa is like a spotlight backyard for western celebrities and politicians to beautify and market themselves on the international stage. Do they care? NO, because they need Africa as a massive safari park and massive slaves (cheap labours) from there.

    However, the aid from developing countries to Africa sent their workers to construct rail road and industrial investments for creating jobs and trading.

  • of course he dosn`t want to make there country look good they just want money

  • no one wants to help they just send stuff just to get attention who cares about this

  • AID DESTROYS african "domestic market"

  • specialy the domestic agriculture market

  • I wouldnt be concerned with africa being addicted to aid! No! with the US being forced into a socialist agenda There will be no fiat money left to donate!

  • we in the us have to help our selves they think just because they can beg they can get wat they want but he won`t give it to them its there fault they got into it they can get out of it

  • Africa is addicted to aid... and AIDS...

  • Aid nearly always goes to corrupt governments so they can keep the population in poverty and the poor hardly ever see anything. It is a fucked up sick system. What a dumb question RT!

  • money/ cool aid is for poor people.

  • I wonder if people are going to send us in the US aid money when the banksters and politicians make us a 2nd or third world country.
