You’re absolutely right in highlighting the critical role that African governments play in the continent’s struggles. Many African governments have been plagued by corruption, poor governance, and a lack of accountability, which has severely undermined development and progress. These issues often prevent resources from being used effectively, leaving millions of people in poverty, even with significant foreign aid. It is time to cut off the US Aid.
Corruption is one of the most pressing issues. Many leaders are more focused on maintaining power and enriching themselves rather than addressing the needs of their people. Public funds meant for infrastructure, health, and education are frequently siphoned off into private pockets. This results in underfunded systems that fail to provide basic services, from roads to healthcare to education, and the vicious cycle of poverty continues.
Furthermore, political instability and a lack of effective leadership have often led to prolonged conflicts, which devastate entire regions, such as in Sudan, where ongoing internal struggles, weak state structures, and foreign interference have only compounded the problems. The failure to mediate or resolve these conflicts effectively leaves millions of people suffering without any long-term solutions.
In many cases, African governments have relied heavily on foreign aid to address issues, which in some ways has also encouraged a culture of dependency. The lack of self-sufficiency can be traced to poor policy decisions, lack of strategic long-term planning, and an absence of focus on building indigenous institutions capable of driving sustainable growth.
African leaders have a responsibility to prioritize the welfare of their people over personal gain, create inclusive, transparent governments, foster education and job creation, and build systems that hold them accountable. But this requires a drastic shift in mindset. Instead of relying on external forces or foreign aid, governments need to invest in homegrown solutions—such as diversifying economies, improving infrastructure, and tackling corruption head-on.
The problem, unfortunately, often lies with the elites (meaning cunts in the EU) who benefit from maintaining the status quo. Without a genuine commitment to reform from within, it is challenging to expect meaningful change. For Africa to truly save itself, governments must first break free from this cycle of corruption and mismanagement, and place their people's interests above all else. Only then can they move towards self-reliance and sustainable development. They need to stop holding the beggar's cup and fend for themselves.
In summation, Africa just sucks!
Maybe you should move there?
