post #16 quote:

see the thing is, is when African countries get aid from European/Western countries, they become dependent on that money, instead of developing an ecoomy where they can stand on their own two feet.

not only that, but being dependent on another country more or less means that country has power over you. Every country wants sovereignity, including African countries.

but then with things going on like the AIDS epidemic, it's hard to just stand by and watch it happen, so it's a very complicated issue.

So you think we should all piss off financial and medical aid and take our well intentioned incentives and let African nations get on with it, well thats ok Malcolm you see every month I give £300 that's $600 to the Charity Oxfam but now that you and Dekka have schooled me I have cancelled the standing order and will use my well intentioned cash on me I guess. Now imagine that on a grander scale if all the countries that support Africa did that you would be on here in a flash *****ing about it. You can't have it both ways Africa has proved itself incapable of change mainly due to the reasons I mentioned before until it sorts those issues out it will be reliant on aid end of story.

Save your "aid". ( good slogan

) and let Africa solve its promblems like other countries.

This has been my only postion against European countries that have historically aided Africa.

Your "having it both ways claim" is something you created or interpreted.

What part of it don't yoiu get Africa CANNOT solve it's on problems it has proved that time and time again.

Again Africa needs that aid because of stupid financial ideas and corrupt leadership just this week the ANC voted a new leader in he will be the president of South Africa but he is also on corruption charges thats part of Africa's problem it has a terrible history of having leaders that have damaged thier countries instead of helping them. What happend to Africa's jewel when it got independence Malcolm? nuff said.

No YOU want it both ways YOU want Africa to prosper but you want to slap those who want to help. Just out of interest what are YOU doing to make things better in Africa.
