A “Marshall Plan” for Africa? Why? Was it recently sent through a world-war instigated by others? Did a cataclysmic natural catastrophe engulf the entire continent? Is Europe or the Western World as a whole responsible for conditions in Africa today? The answer to all those questions is no.
Then why a western sponsored “Marshall Plan”? Why does Europe accept the foolish notion that it is REQUIRED to take illegal migrants from Africa? It should not.
Africa’s problems are Africa’s governments, their policies and very often their corruption. A “Marshall Plan” will not cure what ails Africa. When and if it builds good state governments, foreign investment will come, without any “Marshall Plan”. But leave it to “Socialist” (Marsxists) like Merkel to put the economic cart in front of the horse, to no avail.
There are three key things that you could do, and it would make a difference in Africa. Shipping their brightest off to Europe, or bringing in tons of food every year....isn’t one of the three things.
First, you establish a real road network, where trade can take place....crossing borders. Second, you establish clean water for drinking and irrigation. Third, you go and establish a real electrical network/grid....without any entanglement into solar or wind.
If you accomplished these three things, it would transform Africa in three short decades into a capitalist land.
The Marshall plan was assistance to Europe to help the Europeans rebuild their economy. The Africans have been in the process of dismantling this vestige of colonialism for years. Pretty soon they will have eradicated all agricultural plots bigger than what is required to raise goats and pumpkins.
“Africa’s problems are Africa’s governments,”
And how do those governments arise?
A wise French man once said “people get the government they deserve.”
Best thing for Africa is to leave them alone. Let them govern themselves as they see fit.
Best thing for Europe is to not let Africa come to Europe, or they’ll end up with the joys of a multiracial society like we have.
