The folly of African leader's stance in commanding aid is in their sense of unquestionably naivette and unashamed entitlement, coupled with some half baked ransom holding half truths on non-existent repercussions flinged for the dramatic cliffhanger, to scare the jumpy white boy."If you do not help us we will flood your capitals", indeed, as if Stockholm sweden and St. Paul Minneapolis are not choking with Somalis already! And don't even mention London and New York.
The nerve, the audacious, self entitled, asepalous nerve!
The threat does not exist (we are at the bottom of the ladder and cannot get any poorer) the money will not come (the developed world is tired of pouring money into a bottomless pit, if any money will exchange hands it will largely be symbolic and nothing effective ) and even that little bit of money will mostly be embezzled and used uneconomically.
If we cannot use our very own scarce resources with thrift, what motivation do we have to use the West's money effectively?
