Aid to Africa?

Stopping all aid to Africa could not help end poverty because instead of stopping aid they need lots of things to end poverty. There are several problems about Africa such as decades of underinvestment in rural areas, war and political conflict, unchecked population, diseases, agriculture and lack of basic education etc. Africa has to overcome these problems to end poverty because if African people overcome these problems, they can get permanent solutions. However, Africans do not have any force to solve their problems, that’s why the other countries that are developed can help much more to Africa to cope poverty. For instance, if their problems are overcame by rich countries, Africa’s poverty might be over because these kind of aid which I mentioned is more permanent for Africa’s politics, economy and basic education. Besides, some kind of aid such as water, medicine, food etc. keeps people alive and tries to maintain their dignity as human beings because they have to be alive to fight the poverty. For example, 30% of African people have HIV/Aids and also there are several diseases that they suffer from. So, they need medicine to get rid off their diseases. When they take medicine they can not die because of illnesses. Therefore, they will be more healthy by using basic aid to end poverty. Thus, stopping all aid does not help end poverty because they need permanent solutions to improve their conditions. Also, until Africa overcomes the poverty, the aid should not be stooped.
