Nigeria’s women and girls impacted the most by British and US funding cuts, committee is told A prime example of the craziness of the UN and Aid. As is quoted: “On announcing how Britain now plans to spend its aid money, Yvette Cooper, the then-foreign secretary, told Parliament in March: “Our partners in the Global South tell us they want partnership, not paternalism. Investment, not dependency. They want to trade and build their own systems so they can thrive without aid. Our job is to help them do that.” Somehow I doubt our “Partners in the Global South” appreciate being lectured about the evils of Patriarchy and how their traditions need to be swept away as intentionally abusive. Its clear that the objective of the Aid is in fact to mould their societies to what the donors want. One wonders what organisations supposedly bringing clean water to villages can do to prevent men and boys also benefitting from the water or indeed what the’re doing supporting girls education etc. rather than spending the money on water supply. Recently I read an article about the UN and NGOs in Haiti, possibly the epitome of a “failed state”. Money pouring into the morass of gangs, crime and rampant corruption, obsessed with “diversity” rather than something akin to Policing and basic sanitation. Possibly the most ridiculous being the “World Bank” pouring millions into a “women into construction” programme rather than actual construction (people may recall Haiti’s capital is still largely rubble following Earthquakes). It always intrigues me that supposed anti imperialists seem perfectly happy to not only lecture “the Global south” but fund all sorts of things that reflect first world priorities, not those of the local people. Imperialism. It is perhaps no surprise that a growing number of nations are pushing back on the UN and “international community” and its virtue signalling lecturing. Not least because their leadership are characterised as abusive monsters who hate their wives and mothers. In other words primitive natives in need of enlightenment.
