Or we could just cut 100% of charity to Africa and let them figure it out or vanish.

Absolutely. It sounds cruel on the surface, but if we stopped sending poor, destitute, starving African children free shoes and food, then they would have to go and grow their own food and make their own shoes. This would force them to make their own business and their own support systems, which would make them no longer starving or destitute (because if they need a thing? Well, they can make that thing. No problem.) If they did it themselves, they could tailor their own industries to their own needs that us "caring" westerners don't know about.

If we helping them, then it would be worth it to them to start making their own stuff. If they start making their own stuff, they don't need help anymore.

In the long run this is the most charitable thing we could do, same with the middle east.

Just stop fucking with them.
