You should stop being such a dramatic ***** it is how the world works. You think I believe it is fair how it goes in Africa? No of course not but we can't do anything about it. We already give Alot of money so they can maintain stable countries without poverty. What if we decided to not buy resources? It would mean they would lose alot of money. Just search up the exports of most African countries. Without us buying their stuff they would destroy their economy.Also am typing this through mobile browser so if I made any mistakes sorry
I honestly don't even know where to begin with your comment. You know nothing about economy, capitalism, poverty, or how the world works. It's not just a simple "oh well that's how it is so f*ck it."
It has been proven countless and countless times that simply giving money to a poor country only makes things worse. Why? Well because of the infrastructure. They don't know what to do with it or spend it properly. Then you have gangs who steal resources, money, and food.
The corporations, such as the Koch Brothers, which have sway over the U.S. government do not want countries in Africa to prosper whatsoever. Those handouts are just meant to appease the public in making it seem like something is done. These corporations come to other countries, such as Sierra Leone, and offer them a service which they will eventually not be able to afford and then leave them in debt, essentially owning them because they'll never be able to pay it back. They can then take advantage of these countries and extract their resources for an absurdly low price and sell it off millions of times more than they bought it for.....like diamonds.
The people of those countries go as far as creating labor camps, doing the most extreme jobs imaginable, even killing, just to find these resources because their country is poor and that's the only hope they see in being able to provide for themselves or their family. The country is deadlocked in debt and has no way of coming out of it.
So the question is, what to do? Well first and foremost is to be aware of the situation, to have the people in major countries such as the U.S. be a little more active about this and challenge the government to do more than what it's doing now.
The other step, is Grass Roots movements. Activists create movements to change the infrastructure from within by setting up shops, trying to teach the people how to work, sell, and distribute products and also persuade members of that community to take part, essentially forming a stable economy in the process.
But that's not all, you also have to be able to understand their culture and deal with not just economic problems but social problems. For example, in some countries in Africa it is improper for women to sell goods outside of a shop. It's movements like these which do major good in helping a country.
So your comment is nothing short of woefully ignorant.
