He is not alone on this issue. A few years ago, I saw documentaries about African poverty, and several young intellectuals from represented countries said the same things. Many of the countries in Africa whitch have recieved big figures in the last decade, have done very little to improve their situation. This essay is no doubt a bit over the edge, and pretty harsh, but the main points aren't too revolutionary.
I still don't think all aid to Africa should stop, humanitarian aid is always neccesary, but much of the money poured out to be used for developement are quite wasted through corruption and war.
