It's funny you do not acknowledge that both are done. Not only giving food, but seeds and farming equipment. Their poverty comes from war though. Warlords take it away.
Yeah, the ignorant blame the west right now for colonisation in the past, and all the while China is colonising Africa right now. The only crime the West is guilty of is ignoring this.You do not bother being informed in current works events though. You prefer to have nations like Russia and China tell you how to hate Western democracy with conspiracy theories.
Colonization in the past is directly responsible for the current state of africa and the exploitation never really stopped.Also, I don't blame the "west". All major powers have been raping africa since known history.
