Ending Famine, Simply by Ignoring the Experts


"Over the past 20 years, the World Bank and some rich nations Malawi depends on for aid have periodically pressed this small, landlocked country to adhere to free market policies and cut back or eliminate fertilizer subsidies, even as the United States and Europe extensively subsidized their own farmers. But after the 2005 harvest, the worst in a decade, Bingu wa Mutharika, Malawi’s newly elected president, decided to follow what the West practiced, not what it preached"

“As long as I’m president, I don’t want to be going to other capitals begging for food,” Mr. Mutharika declared

Malawi’s leaders have long favored fertilizer subsidies, but they reluctantly acceded to donor prescriptions, often shaped by foreign-aid fashions in Washington

Notice how it's always the world bank, Washington and Europe that shape these dreadful policies, ever since this, the country faced various CIA sponsored rebel groups and colour revolution attempts, they are not happy with this, only with perpetual poverty.

But @VixR and her apologist Europhile crew will of course as always blame the innocent powerless victims for their problems and all this is just conspiracy and lies as Western Europe and Washington only have the best interest of African's in mind (pointing to a few Black NBA player and professors as examples)

Notice how everyone else is FORCED INTO THIS FREE MARKET charade but they themselves don't play by these rules, no African country can export anything to Europe, it's taking EU decades just to get a trade deal done with Canada, but everything is dumped on your markets by force so everyone else goes out of business, it's how famine's are created.

Make no mistake, this is by design and this culture of dependency is exactly what they want, never in this world has there ever been such a vicious empire as the one we see today, yet record amount of people look up to them as the most benevolent empire.

Yep.

SAPs often force ridiculous free trade bullshit, privatization, and strict austerity on destitute countries while raping them with interest rates, making poor countries continuously poorer.

What free trade is meant to be on how it's enacted are completely different. In this world today, free trade only applies to you and third world countries, you need to open up everything to them and you as the government cannot subsidise your local businesses (which they will take out of business themselves)

However you can't sell anything to them due to the 1000's of restrictions they have put up for you by design and hence it's all one-way, it's to bankrupt you and take out all your businesses so they can bring theirs to your country.

They did this to much of Africa and the Caribbeans destroying their entire local agricultural businesses and it's also why they don't like China and accuse them day and night of currency manipulation because they are powerful enough to stop this. It's how famine and poverty are created for you and wealth for them.
