Provocative, maybe but she's dead right. so called developmental aid is not only patronising it keeps Africa corrupt and poor. The best thing the West can do to help Africa is remove protectionist trade barriers, and generally encourage open and free markets.

Dambisa Moyo is an hyper-intelligent firebrand with a powerful message. I couldn't agree more with her thesis.

@stephentsang2000 sorry the comment was a general one not towards you, have nothing against Chinese, i admire there efforts in africa, my problem is europeans who think their so call aid to africa makes them all of a sudden moral when they are the very culprits behind africa's plight. they continue to rape and rob the continent using different tactics such as foreign aid.

@iceprincessfm Here in China, I am a factory worker working 12 hours a day, 7 days a week. And I don't spend much except on basic necessities so that I can save enough money for future investment, making people to work for me someday, instead of me working for other people. This is the only way to break free from depending on the mercy of your bosses. Diligence, endurance, frugality and learning is the crux of our Confucius culture. I don't think that's idiotic.

@wuyeh100 What? We build railways and infrastructure for African nations for free! And when Admiral Zhang He visit Africa in 1514 with massive fleet and troops, we did not invade. What makes you think we Chinese are evil?

@KumarZimmerman08 what europe teach africa is how to kill each other, how to be corrupt and selfishness, this are european values. what is happening in africa today is a legacy of stealing and bleeding africans for the past 500 years.

[wuyeh100]

@RonQE funny. this is not about democracy, did europeans thought of democracy when they where shitting in africa and stealing and bleed this people for more than 500 years. the fact that africans are still surviving today is testimony of their greatness after all that they have been but through. so take your evil money somewhere else african are begging to understand the ways of the devil and very soon the devil will b defeated.

@KumarZimmerman08 @KumarZimmerman08 No african in there right mind want to become Europe and remember you are were you are today because of africa, i mean what you stole and bleed from africa. africa would have to take bold step and clean itself from this european evil legacy left behind by vanity material hungry europeans. you can never kill the african sole she would survive the current hardship to the greatness she ones was for she is the last hope for humanity.
