Africa and The Third World Do Not Need Aid Printable Version PRINTABLE VERSION
by Antony Felix O. Simbowo, Kenya May 31, 2004
Poverty , Human Rights   Opinions

  

the rest of the third world, let them write off loans to the developing nations, let them remove trade barriers and agricultural subsidies. Let us start afresh for the betterment of the worlds poorest. As for the poor countries, more or so Africans, it is time you stopped this vicious cycle shameless begging and focused on better policies and politics for your nations. It is time you stopped being used as trade paraphernalia by international lenders. It is time you spent wisely the little resources you have and curtailed the economic slavery and yoking of generations of African off springs, which you have abetted heartlessly for years.

TakingITGlobal has never been more apt than it is now in providing a forum for expression. This is because the dynamic world has undeveloped challenges that pose a great problem to the growth and daily life of any youth in the global society. What with the incessant wars, poverty, HIV/AIDS, pornography, racism and several other vices creeping into the society in a culture best objectified as vicious gradualism.
Here is where writing comes in handy and the TakingITGlobal literati, glitterati and pundits alike have provided a vital conduit through which these vices, positive and negative dynamism can be expressed.
I am saddened for example, when a promising youth is reduced to a hopeless parasite by drugs. More saddening is when I see the mercilessness, the hopelessness, the dereliction, the lack of love that many children, youth and people are subjected to due to wars, poverty, pornography and such as other negativities which silently and slowly kill the spirit and will within humans! Having gone through such experiences myself, I pray that God gives me the massive ability to be able to help these people to the best of my ability with His guidance, provision and protection. I have often wondered whether the expression "do unto others what you would have them do unto you" is being subjected to relativity. These are the problems which need highlighting and what better forum is there than TakingITGlobal.
I am privileged to be part of this ideologically vimmed and gustoed community.
