United States Announces More Than $64 Million in Additional Humanitarian Assistance in Sub-Saharan Africa
2024-09-09
[US Department of State] Today in Dakar, Senegal, Assistant Secretary of State for the Bureau of Population, Refugees, and Migration Julieta Valls Noyes announced more than $64 million in life-saving humanitarian assistance for Sub-Saharan Africa. This is just the latest demonstration of the U.S. commitment to Sub-Saharan Africa, with recent announcements by Under Secretary Uzra Zeya, Ambassador Jeffrey Prescott, and Ambassador Michael J. Adler, bringing the total U.S. humanitarian assistance in Sub-Saharan Africa to more than $3.8 billion so far in Fiscal Year 2024. The United States is proud to be the largest single humanitarian donor to Africa/Sub-Saharan Africa globally.

This assistance will enable U.S. humanitarian partners to meet urgent, lifesaving needs of refugees and other displaced and vulnerable populations across Sub-Saharan Africa. It will also build durable solutions, including voluntary return in safety and dignity, and local integration within host communities.

As the United States urges increased support, we also acknowledge the tremendous efforts the people of Senegal and other countries in the region have already made to welcome refugees, returnees, and internally displaced persons in their communities. The Senegalese government’s example of incorporating refugees into national social and health services has played a key role in enhancing stability in the region. The United States encourages other governments to follow Senegal’s example of refugee inclusion and advancing sustainable solutions.

#4  Some estimates indicate the continent of Africa has had some 80,000 years (plus or minus) to bring human civilization to the fore. Something of a headstart on the rest of us, I'd say.

What are we missing here ?

#2  When you look at the countries that have taken aid vs those that didn't, the ones that didn't have a much higher GDP and standard of living along with a more democratic government. Those that did... are totalitarian shitholes that can't provide for their population.

So fuck them and stop all funding. Sink or swim.
