{UAH} WAKE UP AFRICA! ZAMBIA BREAKS NEW GROUND,

Last Thursday, Zambia did the unthinkable. Rejecting a billion dollars from the IMF (Lusaka Times news report). Money supposedly aimed at "stabilizing the economy" claims IMF.
However, the chain attached to the funds is hooked to an IMF-imposed economic austerity. A diplomatic word for intentional impoverishment.
The IMF first demands that we impoverish our countries as a pre-requisite to getting aid.
The subsequent reality is a perpetual need for more aid money. Dependency shackles serving untold global geo-strategic politics.
That is what Foreign Aid cash is.
A tool for patronizing Africa while claiming humanitarian care yet maintaining nations in perpetual poverty and political subservience.
There is no record of a single country that has become prosperous after decades of IMF aid programs.
Yet a few countries have shown that with their own hard work, better resources management, and patriotic dedication, a country can gain world respect and economic prosperity for their people.
It isn't foreign aid that made a peasant farming China the second biggest economy in the world today.
Russia has single-handedly revitalised all its industries from modern aviation to agriculture, oil & gas to telecommunications.
If Russia depended on western aid, we also wouldn't be seeing the respected Vladimir Putin that we are all praising since he took on international terrorists.
In Africa, Zambia has shown us what we all need to start doing. Surprisingly, it is the IMF that is frustrated because they couldn't give Zambia the money.

WAKE UP AFRICA!
