Trump cutting off aid to Africa might be for the best

[heavyhand]

USAID freeze is a chance for Africa to pursue self-sufficiency, without having to worry about someone else's agenda. Secondly african leaders love to outsource their problems to someone else while they pocket state funds hopefully people will start asking the right questions with no usaid to mask the cracks.

My cynical view is USAID to Africa is not done out of any sense of U.S. largesse. The aid is largely given for leverage and influence.
If true, the influence void created will quickly be filled by the Chinese and the U.S dollars going in the pockets of corrupt African officials will simply be replaced by the Chinese Yuan. Trump's racist ending of USAID to Africa is shortsighted and the America's shaky level of influence on the continent will be further eroded.

Damn, all those Africans that love Trump gonna be hurt

I am sick of these countries meddling in the elections, planting these black faced candidates. It isn't just Africa, there are other countries doing this nonsense such as H-1b and trade and they need to pay a price. You have Kamala Harris and her nonsense, it was getting out of pocket with other countries after President Obama.

Israeli's, Chinese, Indians, Muslims, South Americans, Mexicans, etc. all have some weak ass OPS with our elections or if you are an influencer, they come bother you or even worse. Africans need access to HIV drugs and foreign aid.

This impacts your free speech rights, and the elections. Some of them will try to destroy your brand image so you cannot effectively promote products. I suspect some of them will plant people in our elections which is a big no-no. If any of these fools come bother me, they might just disappear. I am not the only one sick of these clowns.

I can spot these people a mile away.

Without the US counterbalance this will lead to further exploitation by China

Apartheid Clyde left South Africa as the African National Congress took power in 1993/94/95, with millions in his pocket from his father, the owner of a precious metals and minerals mine.
By 1988, the rest of the world had been sanctioning South Africa for two decades. The key was finally convincing the United States to join in, that came in to affect in 87/88 and the first US agency on the ground was USAID.

Now you know why he's gone after USAID - payback for ending Apartheid.

Those Africans need to werk hod. That’s what they always tell Black Americans but yet their countries be in ruins.

Yep, at this point some parts of Africa is damned if they do and damned if they don’t

Africa is a continent , not a country.

This is probably because South Africa filed and won the genocide case against Israel at the International Court of Justice (ICJ). The Court concluded that it is plausible that Israel's actions in Gaza Strip could amount to genocide and issued provisional measures, in which it ordered Israel to take all measures to prevent any acts contrary to the 1948 Genocide Convention.

I doubt Trump gives a shit about a small population of poor Whites in S. Africa that some have speculated. He only gives part of a shit about the poor Whites in the U.S. during an election season and that has past.

We as non-Africans with PanAfricanism in our hearts and souls love to use Swahili phrases to show our connection to our native home. I think this is a time for those people to step up and do something. FDR isn’t here anymore. Help — do something.

Is it Kazi or is it Oochie Wally?

You can say that if you want to, at least the Chinese will leave something to show for it, like building infrastructure such as roads, bridges, ports, railways, etc..

 

[keone]

They will still rob africa. I agree that Africa should tell them all to fk off. But thats not how reality works. They will still rob them for all they have.

We seen what happened with gadaffi when he was talking that independence shit.

They can’t rob Africa right now. They will in a 100 years and since no one alive now won’t be alive then, who cares?

How long were the intermediate years back in Kemet?

I love that President Traore of Burkina Faso, my ancestral homeland, has already paid off the $5.9B through his local community investors, build a gold mining factory, tomato factory, etc and most importantly kicking France's ASS out of Burkina Faso! If other African President's took his lead, Mali and Benin have, then we can get to a United States of Africa!

It's as if all of Trump's policies are only affecting people of color.

Infrastructure that they charge whichever country it’s built in an absorbent amount of money to lease for life

 

[World B Free]

USAID represented US soft power; I guess the soft power era is over and now the US only persuades with raw and unfiltered violence.

Trading one foreigner for another is not progress.

They should close ranks and develop amongst themselves like Asia did.

China used to get bitched and divided up by the white man until they said never again.

This is definitely about the Israel case, trump will throw those cacs under the bus when they've served their usefulness there is no white genocide and no one is taking any property

Chad is about to do the same and Morocco is granting those nations sea access which is huge

His base is made up of “people of color”? They’re getting hit the hardest.

I think the Caribbean should be renamed West of West Africa and thought of as steps to the Americas.
