Aid to Africa: donations from west mask '$60bn looting' of continent | Global development | theguardian.com

"The report says that while western countries send about $30bn in development aid to Africa every year, more than six times that amount leaves the continent, "mainly to the same countries providing that aid"." "It points out that foreign multinational companies siphon $46bn out of sub-Saharan Africa each year, while $35bn is moved from Africa into tax havens around the world annually." "Although sub-Saharan Africa receives $134bn each year in loans, foreign investment and development aid, research released on Tuesday by a group of UK and Africa-based NGOs suggests that $192bn leaves the region, leaving a $58bn shortfall." "Here in the UK we can start with our role as a major global financial centre and network of tax havens, complicit in siphoning money out of Africa."", "Research by Global Financial Integrity shows Africa's illicit outflows were nearly 50% higher than the average for the global south from 2002-11."
