Giving money, food or aid is not the solution. It never has worked and never will. And the reason is simple, though very harsh.

Starvation anf famine is natures way of saying, "You have too many people living off the land you have."

Now whether you can teach them to use the land better or to stop killing each other is another mute point.

I lived through the 50 and 60 when most of africa was rebelling to get rid of the evil white colonialists. So how much better have the black rulers been for the people of their countries?

The Europeans were there to make a profit, the profits mostly came from agriculture, now these same countries (run by corrupt rulers who are rich anf fat0 are bankrupt, unable to feed themselves and asking the "White" nations of the world for handout. When was the last time a Muslim oraginised a Live Aid type event?

Look at Zimbabwe, under Smith it exported food, under Mugabe people die of starvation.

And I will not even touch on the genocide of black against black.

Their excuse is it's all the Whites fault. So why is India growing at such a rate and Africa is falling behind? Same situation different leaders and people.

Save a child today and in 20 years time the problem is twice as bad.

Save a million and in 20 years 3 million are starving.

Solution is put the Europeans back in charge. Nothing else will work for 99% of the black people in Africa. Unless they learn from South Africa.
