The following is from Kenyan economics expert&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/James_Shikwati\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">James Shikwati<\/a>;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>\u201cFor God\u2019s Sake, Please Stop the Aid!\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Kenyan economics expert James Shikwati, 35, says that aid to Africa does more harm than good. The avid proponent of globalization spoke with SPIEGEL about the disastrous effects of Western development policy in Africa, corrupt rulers, and the tendency to overstate the AIDS problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">04.07.2005, 00.00 Uhr<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>SPIEGEL:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mr. Shikwati, the G8 summit at Gleneagles is about to beef up the development aid for Africa\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Shikwati:<\/strong>&nbsp;\u2026 for God\u2019s sake, please just stop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Shikwati:<\/strong>&nbsp;Such intentions have been damaging our continent for the past 40 years. If the industrial nations really want to help the Africans, they should finally terminate this awful aid. The countries that have collected the most development aid are also the ones that are in the worst shape. Despite the billions that have poured in to Africa, the continent remains poor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Shikwati:<\/strong>&nbsp;Huge bureaucracies are financed (with the aid money), corruption and complacency are promoted, Africans are taught to be beggars and not to be independent. In addition, development aid weakens the local markets everywhere and dampens the spirit of entrepreneurship that we so desperately need. As absurd as it may sound: Development aid is one of the reasons for Africa\u2019s problems. If the West were to cancel these payments, normal Africans wouldn\u2019t even notice. Only the functionaries would be hard hit. Which is why they maintain that the world would stop turning without this development aid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>SPIEGEL:<\/strong>&nbsp;Following World War II, Germany only managed to get back on its feet because the Americans poured money into the country through the Marshall Plan. Wouldn\u2019t that qualify as successful development aid?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Shikwati:<\/strong>&nbsp;In Germany\u2019s case, only the destroyed infrastructure had to be repaired. Despite the economic crisis of the Weimar Republic, Germany was a highly- industrialized country before the war. The damages created by the tsunami in Thailand can also be fixed with a little money and some reconstruction aid. Africa, however, must take the first steps into modernity on its own. There must be a change in mentality. We have to stop perceiving ourselves as beggars. These days, Africans only perceive themselves as victims. On the other hand, no one can really picture an African as a businessman. In order to change the current situation, it would be helpful if the aid organizations were to pull out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2026Read more:\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p

provide food and other assistance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But according to Shikiwati, all of the help kind Westerners provide actually makes things worse, by perpetuating and worsening the economic dysfunction which led to that starvation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The only thing we can do to make things better in poor nations is leave them to sort out
