"I have with this
picture, created so many jobs and have made huge profits for Western and European
aid organisations. These very organisations deny that I died of hunger because
my parents were forced to grow coffee for export. The West deny because admitting
the problem would mean putting an end to their AID CIRCUS. And while these rich
people continue to enrich themselves from my picture, my blood cries out from
the grave. When does it STOP?"

My parents have already
paid you the debt; through my African government. We are forced to export our
food - so that I won´t eat. Our cotton too, so that mom won´t make
me a dress. Worse... we are forced to grow tobacco and coffee instead of corn.
You even continue to rob me through this picture by creating a false alarm for
your aid organisations. Please keep your help!

Please help
stop FOREIGN HELP. It multiplies hunger. Foreign aid robs the poor their rights
to speak up. Foreign aid is a trap. The more it is advertised, the more the poor
are forced to grow tobacco and coffee. Foreign aid helps increase the pressure
on African leaders, to grow cash crops for exports. (Which African leaders believe
is development). Only to pay off the "debt".

Do I understand
anything when it comes to Africa´s poverty problems?
|
 |
| |
|
You call me poor and humiliate
me through your aid organisations. You force me to give you back 7 dollars for
the 1 dollar you pretend to have given me. Are you so blind to realise that you
are robbing me to make me poor?

Our leaders say this is
democracy. The American dream. They have taken our land and our rights away, and
have given them to foreign investors. The same investors create aid companies
out of our misery by asking for help from their friends abroad - and where they
come from. Blocking any development. Especially when we want to sustain ourselves.
We want to develop ourselves. Please stop your "aid".

Out here in Africa, investors
sell our timber to South African, European and American companies. When trees
are cut or uprooted noone thinks of replacing them. It is us, the local, that
suffer the consequences. And yet it has been our (the local tradition) to replace
trees and plants in order to preserve our nature. Because of this problem, drought
is becoming a problem in our countries.

Stop export cropping
Let
the Africans grow food not tobacco

Let the Africans be productive
Let the Africans create their own education
Rise!
Take control!
And shine!

A journalist
said to the other:
I just heard that all foreign help organisations have been thrown out of
Africa...
The other journalist said:
And how will these foreign organisations now earn their living?" |
