It would be nice for a change, but when those poor starving children appear on TV, Western Governments will continue to fund the corruption.
Only because we are stupid enough to let them.
Besides, it's just a scam for more money from the leftist charities.
Google Sudan agriculture. It's amazing what it produces.
And it all goes to Saudi Arabia, so the locals get 'famine'.
And people wonder why there is opposition to the factory farm in Canada.

And conveniently forget that droughts in Africa are cyclical. 36 million people last year alone were faced with starvation due to drought.

No one said it was. But the G7 nations do it anyway. It all comes down to cost. Which is cheaper, funding planned parenthood or funding millions of HIV infected people and millions of starving children?
But you see Doc, it is exactly this kind of silly thinking that creates most of the problems
in the first place.
African countries don't sort out their own problems because they don't
want to.
It's more fun just to take money from the West.
How is my thinking "silly"? Economists identified this solution a long time ago.
African dictators have destroyed economies there for decades. Yesterday, even! It's not that they don't want to help themselves; it's they are too poor, too superstitious, too uneducated to know that birth control is one thing that would help them economically. So, like vaccinations and Ebola, someone has to intervene so that their problems over there don't become our problems over here.
Ask Germany if they would rather have supported birth control in Africa in the 90's, or economic migrants now.
