FROM DER SPIEGEL: MORE PROOF INTERNATIONAL WELFARE SUCKS

DER SPIEGEL:
SPIEGEL INTERVIEW WITH AFRICAN ECONOMICS EXPERT

"For God's Sake, Please Stop the Aid!"

The Kenyan economics expert James Shikwati, 35, says that aid to Africa does more harm than good. The avid proponent of globalization spoke with SPIEGEL about the disastrous effects of Western development policy in Africa, corrupt rulers, and the tendency to overstate the AIDS problem.

SPIEGEL: Mr. Shikwati, the G8 summit at Gleneagles is about to beef up the development aid for Africa...

Shikwati: ... for God's sake, please just stop.

SPIEGEL: Stop? The industrialized nations of the West want to eliminate hunger and poverty.

Shikwati: Such intentions have been damaging our continent for the past 40 years. If the industrial nations really want to help the Africans, they should finally terminate this awful aid. The countries that have collected the most development aid are also the ones that are in the worst shape. Despite the billions that have poured in to Africa, the continent remains poor.

SPIEGEL: Do you have an explanation for this paradox?
HE DOES. RTWT.

BOTTOM LINE: AFRICANS NEED INDUSTRIALIZATION AND GLOBALIZATION NOT UNICEF OR IMF/WORLD BANK HANDOUTS THEIR KLEPTOCRATIC SOCIALIST LEADERS STEAL OR MISMANAGE.
