Thus destroying the indigenous agrarian economies of said "needy" countries. I read a good article the other day (I think it was from Sultan Knish) about the "Aid Economies" of some African countries (it's not limited to Africa). Dumping tons of free food on these countries are wiping the farmers out.
Ethiopia used to be a net exporter of food, until the government started employing selective famine to control the population. The photos of starving people went out, and huge amounts of food were shipped in, wiping out the entire agricultural sector of the economy.
Years ago a friend of mine did a lot of oilfield work in Africa.
At the time there was a famine.
He said as long as someone is willing to feed them they will not lift a finger to feed themselves, and they will let as many people as necessary die so there is enough food to feed those remaining.
Women would starve their children so they could eat since children can be replaced.
He told me how planes would drop food, they couldn’t land because they would swarm the plane, and the next day people were sitting in the same spot waiting for more food to be dropped.
To get the people to move to where it was easier to feed them, the plane would drop the food a mile or 2 away and make them walk to the food.
Basically it was akin to getting a duck to follow you by dropping bread as you walk.
