This is so called new deal runs into the tens of billions, is still deposited in the world bank, much of the money has gone into the pockets of the aid organisations themselves as usual.
Some of it has gone to Ethiopia/Kenya as part of 'logistics' and towards their bureaucratic pen-pushers in IGAD and the various fruitless meetings they supposedly had 'over' the Somali issue, all of this was being paid for by this so called new deal meant for the Somali people.
Not a single penny fell into the hands of any Somali leader or regional leaders whatsoever despite all the applications made still pending for several years now.
Yet all those billions will be added to our national debt with interest despite not seeing 0.00001% of it and unlikely to go much beyond it.
I feel a pity for those whom really believed that 'foreign aid' was a real benevolent program, real money being paid for development to help out the poor, and not a giant ponzi scheme to rob the tax payers of their money to fill the coffers of their own scam ridden charities.
Yet you have morons that not only believe this! but blame Somali leaders for squandering that which they never got and the little bribes they are paid to shut them up.
