Foreign Aid: "A complete waste of money that succeeds primarily at keeping Westerners employed."

A long and interesting interview with a journalist who spent a lot of time working for NGOs in Africa. The conclusion I got out of it was that there's no power that can make Africa better unless the governments finally clean up, and NGOs actually just help prop those governments up. It isn't a matter of investing and building infrastructure either, because the local governments will swoop in and steal the money.
