We have been carrying these countries for years and years. Time to stop and let some other country take care of them.

🤦‍♂️ We have given Israel since WW2 a WHOPPING 300 Billion‼️Total aid: Israel is the largest cumulative recipient of U.S. foreign assistance since WWII, receiving an estimated $298 billion in inflation-adjusted dollars from 1946 to 2024. Annual aid: The U.S. provides approximately $3.8 billion in military aid annually, as part of a 10-year agreement with Israel. 😲 Your upset that MILLIONS of lives are spared while Israel Obliterates Gaza and gets rich from it❓️😤

I feel the same way about generational welfare such as food stamps and government housing in the U. S. don't miss the part where I said GENERATIONAL. As in the lifestyle for generations.

If other countries would stop stealing & razing the land & resources, the African countries wouldn't need any money. But No one wants to talk about that.

Why are you wining about millions when you have stolen trillions in natural resources, fostered infighting and corruption, and kept nations from benefiting from the land. The parts of Africa that are third world and that way because of colonialism. The aid is just to make some folks feel better about the damages being done!

This is the perfect example of “You can’t fix stupid”. I’m not talking about literacy, I’m talking IQ. Some countries in Africa have an average IQ of 79. In the US, that’s mentally impaired. Also, if you count the elites in those countries that are doctors, engineers, politicians etc. how much did they raise that IQ to the average.

Most of the money gets siphoned off by corrupt politicians on both the American side and the African government receiving the money.

Very ironic how all these white westerners are able to evaluate and determine how and why African countries are the way they are today but unable to show the root cause which is western countries thievery of Africa's resources for their enrichment and development. Without those resources I wonder where many of them would be today?

Africa is supposedly the birthplace of mankind. they had at least a million-year headstart on the entire planet. they should have colonized Mars and Titan by now... nope.

The main difference is that nearly every government in Africa is paid for by one of the major superpowers. The very last thing you want is for Africa, the most mineral rich continent on earth, to become stable and not let you control those minerals.

With the world in shambles right after the 2nd world war except for the Western hemisphere. Because the war was fought in Europe, Africa and Asia the countries most affected by the war needed help to recover and rebuild. The US was booming because it became the world’s supplier and chose to help them. The money went out and there was no accountability for where the money went. It would help to have the money repaid but only one country has, Russia. Free money should come with a repayment plan.

Africa is a continent. How do you give money to a continent? Are you certain any money was given to any of those countries? Were you there? Did you see that actual money changes hands? Neither have I and I don’t believe 1 penny was sent there.

We are hated by the ones we have tried to save or free. 20 years of war left the USA in debt.We were seen as invaders vs liberators and our foreign policy in ruin. Or internal division only benefits the ones that want us to fail!

The United States has historically been and remains the single largest donor of Official Development Assistance (ODA) and humanitarian aid to Africa in absolute dollar amounts.

Cumulative Official Development Assistance (ODA) from OECD donors to Africa since 1960 actually exceeds $1.2 trillion. According to OECD and World Bank data, these funds are primarily directed toward three core pillars: ​1. Social Infrastructure and Services ​This is the largest category, typically receiving 35–40% of annual aid. ​Health: Funding for immunization, HIV/AIDS programs, and maternal health. ​Education: Construction of schools and teacher training. ​Water & Sanitation: Providing clean water access and sewage systems. ​2. Economic Infrastructure and Production ​Aiming to spur long-term growth, about 15–20% goes to: ​Transport & Energy: Building roads, ports, and power grids. ​Agriculture: Improving crop yields and food security for rural farmers. ​3. Humanitarian and Emergency Aid ​Approximately 10–15% of aid is "crisis" funding for: ​Disaster Relief: Food and medicine during droughts or floods. ​Conflict Support: Assistance for refugees and internally displaced persons.

for one...no country has given anything....every penny spent in Africa was done with a strategic plan....pay this guy and he does your bidding when the west is done with him...or if a different country outfits his rivals with bigger guns and missiles ..hes outed and the next dictator takes over ...and if anyone dare to protest in a way that makes real problems thier killed or imprisoned...you talk about Africa likes its one country....and since you brought up Europe being rebuilt.....that was less then 50 years after Leopold killed...what 10 to 15 million Africans ...and the world didn't make a peep about it....yeah you can blame the condition of some African countries on mismanagement ,but to act like the world isn't complicit with a concerted effort to keep things that way by paying agent provocateurs and other means of destabilization...then your showing your true colors and that your opinions seem to be based more on bias then any real interpretation of Africa's current situation

Africa got tribalism. It is a divided continent based on different cultures. It’s the continuous subjugation and division based on pilfering its resources that this author is referring to. If we didn’t need Africa resources would we still need colonies?
