Africa: Promoting prostitution for more foreign aid and sustaining local businesses
Foreign aid is sexual tyranny in Africa. From sexual abuses committed by Oxfam to open prostitution in African urban areas, particularly in hotels, our research has found that this situation is partly fuelled by foreign aid that has become a tyranny and a tool for continuing colonialism.
The kind of sexual abuses committed by Oxfam are never reported by the victims and African authorities to keep foreign aid flowing. The white man knows this.
When sexual abuses frequently committed by local people are never reported or complained about, I am not sure how abuses committed by the white man who brings money in the country could be reported.
In some African countries such as Ethiopia, Kenya and Rwanda where prostitution in hotels are encouraged to attract tourists who obviously bring money to the country, women are encouraged to get into prostitution so that they can be available to the white man in hotels. These white men are aid workers, tourists or business people.
This promotion of prostitution strategy means that more white people will come in the country bringing more money. Prostitution in Africa especially in urban areas is mainly aimed at the white man. This prostitution is encouraged by some countries in order to keep money flowing in the country via foreign aid or keep businesses running such the hotel industry.
Some aid organisations have been in Africa for several years but it is hard to see what are their real contributions to socio-economic development of the countries they are working for.
This situation is caused by the fact that the majority of these organisations run very small projects that cannot make any tangible difference to the majority of the population. The vast budget of foreign aid goes to travels, administration costs, running local branches, consultancies, etc. Additionally, many foreign aid workers are incompetent to solve local problems. Even trying to use the knowledge acquired at western schools can't help because the local the problems aren't described in the western books.
