conix, that's a weak, lazy effort in defense of Trump's "shithouse", and other Trump policies, by Karen McQuillan. She doesn't look worthy of great trust.
"What I Learned in the Peace Corps in Africa:"
On corruption McQuillan says,
"In Senegal, corruption ruled, from top to bottom."
"In plain English: shit is everywhere. People defecate on the open ground and the feces is blown with the dust – onto you, your clothes, your food, the water."
"African problems are made worse by our aid efforts. Senegal is full of smart, capable people. They might eventually solve their own country's problems. They will do it on their terms, not ours. The solution is not to bring Africans here."
Her first sentence there is a lazy effort to justify cutting much of foreign aid. Though the topic is one of debate - note -
Does foreign aid always help the poor? Ana Swanson 23 Oct 2015 [...] “My critique of aid has been more to do with countries where they get an enormous amount of aid relative to everything else that goes on in that country,” Deaton said in an interview with Wonkblog. “For instance, most governments depend on their people for taxes in order to run themselves and provide services to their people. Governments that get all their money from aid don’t have that at all, and I think of that as very corrosive.” [...] Deaton doesn’t argue against all types of foreign aid. In particular, he believes that certain types of health aid – offering vaccinations, or developing cheap and effective drugs to treat malaria, for example — have been hugely beneficial to developing countries. https://www.weforum.org/agenda/2015/10/does-foreign-aid-always-help-the-poor/
McQuillan's last sentence there is a lazy anti-immigration opinion. Who the hell has ever suggested the solution to Africa's problems is to bring Africans to the West? No one.
Why would you trust much of anything McQuillan presents as fact.
14 African Countries Forced by France to Pay Colonial Tax For the Benefits of Slavery and Colonization By: Mawuna KOUTONIN Tuesday, January 28th, 2014 at 3:41 pm. [...] As these numbers demonstrate, France is quite desperate but active to keep a strong hold on his colonies what ever the cost, no matter what.
In March 2008, former French President Jacques Chirac said:
“Without Africa, France will slide down into the rank of a third [world] power”
Chirac’s predecessor François Mitterand already prophesied in 1957 that:
I think even the most primitive people go just a bit away from their camp to do their business. Without some modicum of hygiene Darwinism comes into play. Tribes that learn lived those that didn't died off.
No idea what field of study Karin was in but it didn't prepare her for life beyond suburbia and porcelain fixtures. I'm not so sure yours does either.
