A letter was sent on January 26th sent by Eritrea's minister of finance Berhane Abrehe to the UN saying “aid only postpones the basic solutions to crucial development problems by tentatively ameliorating their manifestations without tackling their root causes. The structural, political, economic, etc. damage that it inflicts upon recipient countries is also enormous.” In other words, the government argues, U.N. aid does more harm than good....Whenever someone points out the effects of AId and says how bad it is..they're thought of as inconsiderate pricks...there you have it...from the horses mouth... This is a strong bold move and I'm all for it, stopping aid will mean the country will have to learn to sell itself to the outer world to rely on its own income, its own resources and its own workforce...to improve its agriculture and all other resources on its own and concentrate on its economic problems and how to solve them without waiting Aid to solve them...this will be like an economic wake up call...and this wake up calls for alot of hard work...hard work that was shadowed by aid...alot innovation, alot of investments, a lot fixing patches will be involved.
But is it too early for African countries to start saying NO to AID...will they go running back?...how will they hold up without AID..
