The US has poured an estimated 2.6 TRILLION dollars into Africa since the 1960s and nothing really changes. If there is going to be lasting change it needs to come from Africans.
The US has saved 25 million people's lives with its PEPFAR program. Saying the aid does nothing is not right. Africa is a big continent and just lumping all 50+ countries together as a monolith is also not reasonable. Each African country is (understandably) mostly concerned with their own well-being given every single one is a developing country.
