There's a story about philanthropy in Africa that I often think about. Mosquito nets were given to a village to help them deal with diseases borne by mosquitoes. But then the local fish population dropped rapidly. This was a huge problem, as fish was a large part of their diet.

These kinds of stories make me cautious and think that it might be better if they solve their own problems. The only other solution that I see is to integrate the church like medieval Europe did, banning cousin marriage, executing heinous criminals etc.pic.twitter.com/T22feLDxDJ

The only way "go in and solve their problems and they'll be fine" works is if the stupid things that progressives believe about the cause of African problems are true - "it's the lack of east-west rivers" or "it's the legacy of colonialism". Progressives are wrong.
