Thank you for the wonderful observation and article.
What has been written in the article is true and 100% perfect. However, does
one think that African leaders do not know and understand this? This is
happening because of their greediness and just their concern is to fill
their pocket rather than thinking about the poor and the destitute, who are
suppose to benefit from the fund that is coming in their names.
I heard one story that have had happened in one of the refugee camps in
Tanzania. People were wondering why the NGO staff were celebrating by
drinking of champagne, whisky, dancing and feasting with delicious food.
Later it has been understood that because they were told that the time for
the repatriation of refugees to their villages was extended. This people
are leaving by the side of the refugee camp and passing luxurious life;
driving modern vehicles, leaving in a luxurious air conditioned spacious
houses and sending their children to very expensive schools. While the
refugees or destitute are leaving in a worn-out tent, in a dusty, hot
weather conditions and eating and drinking non hygienic food and water.
To add; as these staff of NGOs are well paid and have a lot of incentives,
they made the market expensive and the locals are suffering due to high cost
of leaving across many cities in Africa.
Last but not least but why Africa can not learn from Eritrea?
