Simply put, if we (non-African) have a problem we couldn't look to any African country for aid.
The opposite is true, to the point were even the people living there can't tell the difference between their own economy and aid. If Africa ever stopped being in some need of aid entitlement, it would collapse economically.
Africa is a constitution of welfare states, and the people living there admit it.
Whilst there are many contributing factors, if the population of Africa were substituted for the population of China or England. There wouldn't be an issue.
Out of a sense of nationalistic pride, or rightful suspicion, the countries inhabitants would deal with the problem.
We are creating a 'population bubble' with all the 'aid' we give, that will burst. Either with internal infighting and genocide, or, some sort of transmittable disease that their societal infrastructure cant contain.
Here's a query; Ask yourself, honestly.
What would happen if the rest of the world were unable or unwilling to give 'aid' to Africa ?
The population would die down to what Africans are able to sustain. Via whatever means. I am not suggesting we should lose our empathy. But creating this 'population bubble' seems such a disastrous idea.
EDIT: also thanks, the number of people willing to insult me on this forum for holding an idea contrary to their own is somewhat disheartening.
It's nice to have someone disagree without assaulting my character............... can't find smiley face thingy to click on (assume smiley here)
