    Some East African countries no longer want foreign, secondhand clothing — and say they’re being punished by the U.S.http://nyti.ms/2hC0QSz

        It's quite a moral failing when the US threatens poor countries for not wanting our used goods.

        Why can't Africa get it together? The world has been sending aid there for decades. They're always starving, always at war/genocide. Why?

        Well throwing money at it definitely won't help. They need to figure it out for themselves.

        Previously worn is one thing, but sending them rags you wouldn't wear yourself might be the problem.

        USA has terrible fitting fashions, cheap textiles isn't good enough for Africans. You must have your own domestic factories !

        I can't read the article, but the headline doesn't surprise me. Imported second hand clothes hurt local textile markets.

        You're probably wrong. People in the countries want the secondhand clothes, but the governments think free stuff is a bad thing.

        The 1994 #Genocide against the Tutsi left all sectors including the #energy sector almost non-existent. #Rwanda is a better country now.
