Trump calls presidents of Nigeria, South Africa

President Donald Trump has been increasingly chatting with other world leaders during his first weeks in office. On Monday he turned his attention to Africa.

Trump spent Monday morning calling two of the continent's most prominent leaders, Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari and South African President Jacob Zuma, to discuss combating terrorism, trade relations and other issues.
According to Buhari's aide, Femi Adesina, Trump assured the Nigerian president that the US is ready to help obtain "a new deal in helping Nigeria in terms of military weapons to combat terrorism."
In a statement to CNN, Adesina also said, "President Trump encouraged President Buhari to keep up the good work he is doing, and also commended him for the efforts made in rescuing 24 of the Chibok Girls and the strides being taken by the Nigerian military."

Patchesagain:


He is, for once, correct.

Food/Clothing Aid has destroyed small-scale farmers and textile markets.

Drought and natural disaster usually help in development,

Take drought for example: good/clever farmers are often in a better position than others during a time of crisis. Hence can sell their wares at higher prices (decrease in supply, increase in demand), thus they generate more capital. Because the drought has slaughtered the competition, and killed people themselves you now have an increased supply of land and a decreased demand to occupy it. Hence these surviving farmers are able to use the capital they generated earlier to buy the land of the farmers who have failed... expanding their operation, increasing their output and thus the cycle starts over - they generate more capital and use the capital to aquire more land to generate more capital. In a couple generations large scale commercial farms (though lacking sophistication) begin to arise.

Food aid destroys this natural cycle.

[PS: Look into the ANC's drought relief from last year and see if you can figure out what they are doing.]

The European renaissance, for example, was only possible because of the Black Death.

the poverty which allows any person with radicalist discourse who has good external funding to recruit tens of thousands of poor men and women and children easily, giving them some money arming them and sending them to kill their own nigerian brothers or explode themselfs

so yes decrease the poverty and economic devloppment is the most important to fight terrorism

Please lets stop the chit chat, that's you Africaken.

Patchesagain I love you bro, thank you for understanding. Rather than buy relief food from the region, enabling small scale farmers to have money to invest in irrigation, expand,... NGOs dump free food in a region, putting small scale farmers out of business; turning them into beggars. They cant even afford to grow food for themselves, ensures another drought next planting season.

Most NGOs would rather have Africa poor and uneducated because if not they would go out of business, rather than build capacity, enabling Africans to help themselves they actively conspire to have them remain poor even though this is mostly unintentional. I can give an in-depth explanation of what I am thinking but don't want to type a multiple page long post. This is a photo and video forum only.

What is wrong with us, since they relaxed their hands we are jumping to grab it. Same old game, they will not come through when u need them the most. 1st rule of partnership, u must be in a position to punish the other when they break the agreement by not being too dependent on the partnership. That is what US did to u all when boko guys went too crazy. Get the aircraft strip it to the bone start building urs.

Says who? Don't believe everything you read or heard hook, line and sinker especially when it's coming from the the Media Aides....most time they are propaganda.

Henry240:


"Do African leaders have any sense running through their heads?". To them, it is all politics and another avenue to show their mostly ignorant citizens that they(leaders) are somehow important.

Please Speak for Algeria alone. If that's what fuel Terrorism in your country, that's not what's fuelling ours. BH wasn't as a result of "Economic Hardship"(Poverty), the internet is there for you to garner what led to their Rebellion against the Nigerian State.
And BTW, has the bombing and killings and maiming HELP or DESTROY the Economic Prosperity(poverty eradication) of where all these terrorists operates the world over??

Was that what fuels the Algerian Gas Facility siege and hostage taking in 2013 by Moktar Belmoktar
You know better than to be speaking like someone with a shallow military/political knowledge.

Yes! Just like the POVERTY that drove those Americans and European citizens including deserters from the french military, into joining ISIS right
That "Poverty" must be a Strong One.

recently i almost died of laughter when i heard south africa president say that if south africa economy is performing poorly,the rest of africa will also suffer ".like south africa worsening economy had any effect on kenyan growing 6% last year !?

ActivateKruger:

I have worked with NGOs for many different kinds of projects. The NGOs would either be local or foreign based... In South Africa, foreign NGOs collaborate with the local ones to bring tangible results on the ground.

If an NGO builds 20 houses for pensioners in a rural area using local material. How is that tampering with self-sufficiency? Would the pensioners miraculously build their own houses at their age? We have examples with orphans, health (which South Africa gets plenty of), even the city of Pretoria gets some US funding to supply free WiFi to Pretorians... How's that crippling self-sufficiency when they're actually helping the Municipality to deliver a service.

In the case of foreign food being supplied to drought victims. Do you honestly think Africa has food in surplus to buy from other parts then supply others. Did you know that even South Africa struggles to supply itself with maize in a case of droughts, how do you think they'll supply the rest of the maize-meal eating SADC facing the same droughts?

NGOs operate in Africa in such large numbers because the local governments can't provide even basic services to its citizens.

Hi Patchesagain, I am interested in the dawn period of the European Renaissance and the factors that birthed it.

For the purpose of preventing a derailing on this thread kindly use the Technical Discussion thread of Nemesis2u to explain the correlation between the black death/bubonic plague and the Renaissance. Mention me when you do. I am excitingly waiting for your thoughts (hopefully Nemesis2u will oblige on his thread).
Thank you.

Don't you ever get tired? Displaying ignorance on such a regular basis?
I'll help you out: the African Development Bank recently released a report detailing how the slowdown in SA and Nigeria is dragging down growth levels on the continent. Look it up. And while you're at it, look up how much FDI flows from SA into the rest of the continent.

Of course Zuma misread the ADB report, but it really is no credit to you to be on the same level of idiocy as him!
Oh well, the dogs bark and the caravan moves on.

Kenyan AMISOM Forces in Dhobley Helps The Needy With Relief Food

The Kenya Defence Forces soldiers under the umbrella of Africa Mission in Somali (AMISOM) on 19th January 2017 in Dhobley town embarked on a mission to help the needy locals with relief food. The exercise was done in conjunction with the Dhobley local administration who had accepted the good gesture by the Kenyan Contingent.
The Sector II forces in Dhobley have on many occasions provided support to the local communities in their bid to build and strengthen the relationship between its local administration and the Kenyan forces.
AMISOM is in the process of renovating the Dhobley District Hospital. The area administration thanked the AMISOM forces for the kind gesture displayed by their soldiers. “I assure you that we will do everything to support your forces in the fight against the enemy,’ one of the officials said.
AMISOM’s Sector II Commander Brigadier William Shume paid a courtesy call to the Dhobley District Commissioner Hassan Mohamed and thanked the Dhobley administration, further urging them to continue cooperating and supporting the Kenyan Contingent in carrying out their mandate.
He said that Kenya has always cooperated with the Somalia people and will continue helping them on many issues. The officials on the other hand thanked the Sector II Commander for visiting.
Present during the function were Sector II Commanding Officer (CO) Lieutenant Colonel J E Adu, Senior Military Officers, Dhobley District Administration officials and the Kenyan soldiers.
