50 years of time, 2,000 billion US dollars of aid, but the absurd thing is that Africa is still as poor and backward as ever, just like the amount of funds in a country's gross national product, just like falling into a bottomless pit, What was Africa's development before, and now it is still what, with the strength of the whole world to help, Africa is still so poor, is the foundation too weak? Or is it your own laziness that drags down development?
Climatic and environmental constraints
Speaking of Africa, perhaps the first thing that flashes in everyone's mind is the hot climate, poverty and backwardness, men and women, young and old are dark-skinned, and even some children are skinny from childhood because they can't eat enough, living in a simple room made of thatch, not only lack of water, lack of food, more importantly, lack of money, hunger, poverty, disease has always been the most important topic of the world's attention to Africa.
But to say that all kinds of international organizations, these years have not been less aid funds, 50 years to put into 2,000 billion US dollars, but now Africa's development is still not half a point, said Africans are lazy, but they are also working hard.
But it is not difficult to see in some African countries that there are luxury cars everywhere, black people wearing gold and silver, some people have a lot of money, but some people are so poor that they can't even afford to eat.
In fact, the root cause of the poverty and backwardness of the people in most parts of Africa is not only caused by the laziness of non-local Africans themselves, but also combined with many factors of history, they may not be blamed for themselves.
First of all, in the environment, Africa's climate is far worse than Eurasia, Africa is located in the tropics, all year round is high temperature, to say that those black people to see a goose feather snow, it is estimated that it is the happiest thing in this life.
Although there are many wild animals such as lions, giraffes, zebras and so on, if you look at the places where they live, you will know that it is either an endless plain or an arid desert, which is only suitable for animals to survive, and it is really unlikely for a normal person to take root in such a harsh climate environment.
Looking at Eurasia, Southeast Asia, which belongs to the tropical climate zone, does not have the same high temperature as the African side, and the continent has four distinct seasons from north to south, and the climate in Europe is mild, even if the land area is not large, it is also a good place for human habitation.
The poor climatic conditions in Africa are also counted, the key is that the hotter the place, the easier it is to breed bacteria, we can't finish the meal the day before, we still have to put it in the refrigerator for fear of breeding bacteria, and people are also the same reason.
The little devils of World War II fought in Southeast Asia and some islands in the South Pacific, and if it were not for the heat of the weather, they would not have been able to develop a disease in their bodies, so that moss would eventually grow on their wounds.
It is not surprising why Africa is a high incidence of various incurable diseases, while places such as Asia, Europe and the Americas, if there are very few, will not spread and infect on a large scale.
The World Health Organization, including some countries, has arranged medical teams to help Africa in order to help people there heal diseases, a place where even developed medical conditions are not available, and how can other aspects have good development?
The reason why Africa has received so many years of aid, but it is getting poorer and poorer, in the final analysis, is because its own foundation is very weak, and the natural environment is harsh, which has brought great difficulties to the development of civilization, focusing on Africa's colonial plunder, which makes this land even worse!
The suppression of barbaric civilizations
I don't know if you have noticed, in fact, There are some more developed civilizations in Africa, and one of the biggest characteristics of these places is that the climate is relatively good, all in the coastal areas of North Africa, close to North Africa, which means that it is close to Europe and the Middle East, compared to the southern African coastal countries, the conditions and opportunities for the development of the north will be more.
Our ancestors learned how to grow food 5,000 years ago, which livestock can be tamed and eaten, which animals are cold-blooded and fierce, but the performance of this series of human civilization progress was not at all seen on the African land at that time.
The origin of civilization is relatively late, not to mention, the focus is that food suitable for human eating is rare in Africa, and people have to choose the environment and place when they grow, not to mention the animals and plants, what can be grown on arid land and desert?
Coupled with the long distance, it is estimated that the people on the Eurasian continent at that time did not know that there was such a place as Africa, and if the development of human civilization could be continued, the time, place, and people were indispensable.
Civilization started late, the natural conditions are poor, the Africans themselves estimate that it is quite difficult, it is not easy to develop and have improved, but with the advent of the age of navigation, Magellan discovered the New World, but at the same time brought with it the barbaric plunder and aggression of Western countries.
Good Africans were regarded as the targets of the black slave trade under Western colonial rule, and perhaps the Africans at that time also found a suitable way for their own development, but with the shameless trade between the rich and powerful and the Western powers, a large part of the local young and middle-aged labor force in Africa was forcibly transported to the Americas.
Enduring ruthless and cruel exploitation, and finally putting their lives on a foreign land, and the vast majority of the remaining old, weak, sick and disabled in Africa, what ability can they rely on to develop their own countries, if it is said that Africa is now restricted in development, the black slave trade of the Western powers in those years is also a large part of the reason.
Although after the end of World War II, the international organizations established one after another have provided assistance to Africa, but the good intentions of the international community have finally let some African leaders pay the money, Africa is not only poor and backward, but also violent conflicts between various ethnic groups, territorial disputes are also endless.
Presumably, when you watch Wolf Warrior II, you can feel that Leng Feng, played by Wu Jing, is desperate to rescue his compatriots in the local turmoil, but the actual shooting situation is more thrilling than in the TV series.
The reason for the continuous breeding of this tumor is that the capitalist countries such as Britain and France have occupied large areas of African land as their own colonies, although after the end of World War II, they have returned one after another, but they have also left a great curse.
The international community has given Great Aid to Africa, but within Africa itself, it does not have the extra ability to accept this money, the huge amount of aid is adrift, the capitalists let their own blood, to poor Africa, is it really so kind?
From the map to see the distribution of the plates of various countries in Africa, it is as neat as being cut open by a knife, although the United States is also neat, but after all, it is a country, Africa is not the same, such a big place, dozens of countries, Western powers do not carry out forced territorial division according to the actual situation on the ground.
As a result, many countries today are facing the same ethnic group being divided into two, obviously brothers with broken bones and tendons, but they go to the door and take passports to go abroad.
The two ethnic groups that have no half-relationship are firmly divided into one country, no one will let anyone, no one will obey anyone, and the whole country cannot twist a rope, so why talk about wanting to make the country have better development? It is good not to do things, and it is even more difficult to talk about making a lot of money in the development of the economy!
There is no way to identify as a person of a country, there is no way to accept, other countries or international organizations for their assistance, in the end, even the grandest aid plan is in vain, and finally the support and opposition of each other pinch each other, project assistance can only be put aside and ignored.
It does not limit development by itself
What is even more excessive is that there are also those who sit in the position of leaders of African countries, and it is estimated that they have never seen so much money in their lifetime, and the aid funds allocated from above have finally been stripped alive into their own pockets.
They squandered stacks and stacks of banknotes and lived a life of absurdity, but the people at the bottom of those countries did not care at all. The international community is well-intentioned, but it is crushed by some people who are blind to money, and in the end, aid funds continue to be allocated to Africa, and the African region is still developing and getting poorer and poorer.
Think of the Western capital countries in Britain, France and the United States, everything is based on their own interests, how can they really be kind and compassionate? The money in their own pockets is continuously donated to Africa, and even if it is aid, it is only for those African countries with better economic conditions and higher creditworthiness, which means that the richer the rich places, and the poorer the places.
The distribution of funds among various countries is uneven, it is strange that there can be good development, Africans have not found a suitable way to develop their own economy, but they are dragged more and more down in the continuous internal friction, European and American countries are hypocritical to carry out financial assistance, but they do not consider the actual situation in Africa at all, rigidly and dogmatically put their own set of development models on these countries in Africa, do not say that they have achieved more with less, and finally even the little money they invested is nothing.
The combination of various factors hindering Africa's development continues in an infinite cycle, making Africa poorer and poorer, and money is very useful, but today's Africa needs not only money, but a development path and direction that is truly suitable for itself.
