That’s because farmers can’t compete with free food from the aid groups.
Everytime a bag of free food arrives, some local farmer goes out of business. Thus, every year Africa has fewer farmers than the year before.
A similar thing is happening with health care in sub-Saharan Africa. There is so much misery, so little pay, such poor infrastructure, that those few Africans who do receive medical training often emigrate to improve their own prospects, leaving the front-line of care to traditional healers and Western Aid organizations.
NO cheers, unfortunately.
"Everytime" is a bit extreme. When there is NO food, Western aid food is a lifesaver. Many, if not most, famines in Africa are triggered by drought, but local government policy, tribalism, etc. are the root causes.
But, somewhere, a politician can speak about all the good things they're doing to help out those in need...
