does this make sense?? why do they always do this???

i mean, there is a coup in a country.. or whatever.. political diffeences with the leaders of that country.. why do big/developed countries hold off promised AID monies to these countries?... saying they stiffling the governemnts.....
who actually feels the pinch of the sanction and the withholding of these AIDS? the prisident and his ministers or the Ordinary people??

been following the story with Mautitinia.

The United States has suspended more than $20m (£40m) in non-humanitarian aid to Mauritania after a coup.

because they be making a promise they know they can't keep...I don't know....plus there is so much red tape to go through for simple things.

Just look how they handle hurricane Katrina and this was right here in the USA.

people suffering and dying, then you say you wont give them AID cuz you differ in with their local Politics?

yep, da was mostly black people down there that didn't have any means to leave....and they knew that...they had the damn buses...but didn't used it....so this was polical and racial. It was a site to see....I still can't believe that this happen right here...that just goes to show that the US is not prepare for any big disaster.

It is a waste of time to expect America to help out of the kindness of their hearts. It's never been the case. Many of us in Africa need to build our own countries up and STOP depending on aid. All the 'woe is me' mentality is holding us back. Aid is just a handicap. If we had all our countries organized correctly Mauritania could look to us for help. America will help whoever they want to help. I'm not mad at them. We should expect this behavior from them. Not to mention the red tape.

, and why dos everybody look to the US for help? The US is not obligated to do anything for any country....and if they do, you better believe it's going to be at a cost....this is like selling your soul to the devil.

agreed with all your say. but dont give AID if its gonna be conditional in the first place. give it cuz you want to help

I think donors should just give waht they have if they can and stop attaching very long strings. The people should not suffer on account of their government's attitude, then they will be doing double suffering.

It's all a game, aid, politics, the coup...

the people suffer regardless, unless enough people care to show the people a better way.

This video says it all.
God willing, this will be Mauritainia's future as well as the rest of Africa.. WITHOUT AID
