        The real aid is to get your puppets out of African presidencies. You EU are accomplice to these tyrants in Africa for doing business with them. You are not helping African people. You are helping yourselves and your puppets at the top of the pyramid. China will get you out!

        China is a better for Africa than Europe. EU has failed Africa for ages. Using the same BS tactics of aid money going to corrupt "their" puppet African dictators. Real Africans want nothing from Europe. Keep it for yourselves. You failed Africa!

        It’s so sad to see the process that has suddenly thrust Africa into limelight even if that light is a dull glow. Sad ‘cos Africa’s self-absorbed leaders will literally sell out the continent’s citizens thanks to incompetence, short sightedness ‘nd naivety...

        The best work for the UN is to have powers to get rid of leaders who do not perform

        These are the leaders we need in the eorld. Our cake (the world) is smaller because of the huge rise in population. So lets save and share this cake in the best way possible. Get rid of leaders such aa Trump & Lungu who are selfish, greedy & all wind

        They should stop dumping subsidised EU flour in Africa, maybe then they will have created some jobs.
