MGB:_Foreign food assistance is fine if it does not arrive at harvest (as it often does) and financial assistance is essential as long as it does not come with conditions of austerity or is not properly channeled away from strongmen and sent to offshore bank accounts. Interestingly, after recoery from genocide, Rwanda got a leader who would not take foreign aid and they are thriving.
The ultimate foreign aid is a western plant owned by a larger employee-owned country or cooperative that pays the same standard of living as found in America. The exploiters would hate that because it would make them keep up and kill their percentage and cut off their ability to help prop up pliant dictators. A strong middle class is harder to enlave and builds its own charitable infrastructure. It may even be able to provide us aid as Trump helps destroy our middle class.
