Charity? I mean, it's an open secret that both sides understand that the bulk of the money sent to African countries isn't supposed to be spent on the people. It's a subsidy/bribe to their developing-world elites to keep them pliable and obedient to basically everything they're told.

It's almost immediately laundered back into London & Paris real estate and Swiss bank accounts.

Wait, you thought Western countries were handing out gibs/NEETbux to African countries just because they feel bad for them?

You are right the majority of people are indeed mislead about where the money is spent.

How are people supposed to get things right when they are constantly misled by both their governments and intuitions?
