'We are in disbelief': Africa reels as US aid agency is dismantled

In a few short weeks, President Donald Trump and South African-born billionaire Elon Musk have burned much of that work to the ground, vowing to completely gut the US Agency for International Development.

Nairobi, Kenya -- For decades, sub-Saharan Africa was a singular focus of American foreign aid. The continent received more than $8 billion a year, money that was used to feed starving children, supply lifesaving drugs and provide wartime humanitaria assistance.

In a few short weeks, President Donald Trump and South African-born billionaire Elon Musk have burned much of that work to the ground, vowing to completely gut the US Agency for International Development.
CLOSE IT DOWN!
Trump wrote on social media Friday, accusing the agency of unspecified corruption and fraud.

A federal judge on Friday halted, for now, some elements of Trump's attempt to shutter the agency. But the speed and shock of the administration's actions have led to confusion, fear and even paranoia at USAID offices across Africa, a top recipient of agency funding. Workers were being fired or furloughed en masse.

As the true scale of the fallout comes into view, African governments are wondering how to fill gaping holes left in vital services, like health care and education, that until recent weeks were funded by the United States. Aid groups and United Nations bodies that feed the starving or house refugees have seen their budgets slashed in half, or worse.

By far the greatest price is being paid by ordinary Africans, millions of whom rely on US aid for their survival. But the consequences are also reverberating across an aid sector that, for better or worse, has been a pillar of Western engagement with Africa for more than six decades. With the collapse of USAID, that entire model is badly shaken.

Experts say the agency's abrupt undoing will cost many lives by creating huge gaps in public services, especially in health care, where USAID has poured much of its resources.
We are in disbelief,
said Medhanye Alem of the Center for Victims of Torture, which treats survivors of conflict-related trauma at nine centers in northern Ethiopia, all now closed.

The most pressing challenge for many governments is not to replace the American staff members or money, but to save US-built health systems that are rapidly crumbling to the ground, said Ken O. Opalo, a Kenyan political scientist at Georgetown University in Washington.

Kenya, for instance, has enough drugs to treat people with HIV for more than a year, Opalo said.
But the nurses and doctors to treat them are being let go, and the clinics are closing.

UK AID spent £5 million pounds promoting the so-called "Ethiopian Spice Girls" just to prove that British AID has conquered the previously "unconquered" Ethiopia. :P :P

Dumb shabiya


The Spice Girls of Ethiopia, also known as Yegna, was a five-member girl band that used music, radio, and online videos to address issues like domestic violence, forced marriage, and poverty. The program was created in 2013 by Girl Effect, a project that promotes women's rights in Ethiopia.

Do you understand what girl empowerment means?

What population agenda it carries?

That was a behavioral intervention to empower women the way they wanted it for the dollars.

It is generally thought educating or enabling women is empowering them. Opposite of TALIBAN.

They never invested in something that does not have a return. Of course, they may have had a waste, but they spent their dollar with reason. To control the number of poor and the colored, cut migration.

Now they call it a name to stop it because they are BROKE

The Eri girls are made "spice girls" in Sawa or in trafficking or marrying Ninja boys or American blacks :lol: :lol:

You missed out on this because of your darling zenawi and the masho behavior of your dumb "supperman" :lol: :lol:

Yo wife beaters and faagggggggggggats!

Christian extremist Odie the chimp, you treat Ethiopians of non-Amara decent so shamelessly and cruely that you have no right to accuse the Taliban that they mistreat women more than you mistreat Tigreys, Oromos, Somalis, Muslim Gurages.
You are indeed a Natzi among the neftenyas.

"Unconquered"- exactly!

Mussolini conquered it for 5 years, until the British kicked him out. The midget king was in Bath (England) in exile and General Wingate with ascari soldiers from India, Nigeria etc freed it for him and restored him to his throne as their puppet until the Americans took over as overlords.

Hence, the main street in AA was called Churchill godena.


With his new boss, Roosevelt
