Comment on Is aid, like Aids, killing Africa? by Moses

Moses — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 07:24:08 +0000

My view is that every person is entitled to a social and economic order where they can fully realise their potential and nobody is obliged to sacrifice their livelihood unless they have a higher order calling to do so or unless they feel it is right. People who go to work elsewhere have families and a chain of distant relatives to take care of– the same relatives that our governments do not care about– we live in exile in order to genearate enough income to feed and educate these relatives who would otheriwise die without our support. Moreover, most of these governments favour their own and tribalism and ethnicity is killing Africa. It is not true that aid is killing Africa it is bad governance and unaccountable leadership that is killing Africa.

Thanks for the blog. I have heard both sides that aid helps and hurts Africa. I don’t think anyone can say definitively that one way is better than the other. Because just as developed nations have a complex economic structure so does undeveloped countries. There is history, social-political and disease that have affected Malawi. That it is not so easy for us (I am from Malawi) to model after any country. We have a way to go, and I think its not that young people like me don’t want to go back and invest in our own countries. We do in great numbers, its just that we need people to trust us and give us money to invest in businesses or the banks in Malawi should reduce their high 20% interest. We don’t want to be separated from our family members its just that we work or go to school in the developed countries with the thoughts of always wanting to either go back to our countries or remain connected in someway in our homeland. We just lack the resources to go back and start our own businesses.
Secondly having Madonna help Malawi should not be shunned. She is helping orphans who don’t have anybody to come to their rescue and her work is helping. The results may not be realized until years down the road, but at least she has planted the seed for Malawi to grow in the years to come regardless of her motives.
Third, I truly believe the younger generation will choose to live at home as more jobs are available for them to return to. Or more opportunities are available to start their own businesses. I have to say I am proud that Bingu has done his best to end corruption. He has cutoff the wasteful spending that presidents before had done is such a disgraceful way.

Thanks for the post, I am glad that people are paying attention to our beloved warm heart of Africa. Thanks for the wells you are putting in Malawi.

Comment on Timeline Malawi by victor msiska

The information contained in the timeline is quite informative. However, as a scholar of forestry, I would have liked to know more about the impact of the coffee and tea estates on forests in Malawi. It is the case that the problem of forest resources management is one of the major problems facing the country and should be put into a proper historical context.
