Do Corrupt Governments Receive Less Foreign… : DASH Story 2013-07-18
Story content
DASH's Open Access had helped us at Bardera Polytechnic to gather some information for the Somali government to help it plan and implement economic and social policies which benefit everyone, including the government itself.
We have use several DASH articles. The most recent research material on DASH which benefited us include the scholarly material written about the devastating affects aid has on Africa.
With little efforts, most governments in Africa can manage to employ majority of their citizens on not more than 10 economic sectors including agriculture/livestock, tourism and public services including health, education and jobs that should be available at all government levels from regional, district and municipal services.
Instead, these industries are shut down in most African countries by way of fear-which leaves farmers to hide from attending their fields (no tourism), no production of any kind. Corrupt governments which get support from donor nations conduct intrusive tactics on its citizens which create even more fear. The donations arrive in the name of disaster management and aid for the 'poor' people. The government eventually loses grip on its citizens and falls from power.
New 'militia' style government comes to power and develops new friends-as the old donor was a supporter of the "old" government. They get few years of sustained brutality and picking on the opposing forces. This cycle has continued for much of the last 60 years.
This article has given us few vital statements and figures which will help us convince the government to invest in its people and land instead of waiting for donations.
