Hobbesian_Brute Posted August 14, 2013 Medical charity Medecins Sans Frontieres (MSF) is closing all its programmes in Somalia after 22 years working in the war-torn country. It said in a statement that the decision had been taken because of "extreme attacks on its staff". It said armed groups and civilian leaders increasingly "support, tolerate or condone the killing, assaulting, and abducting of humanitarian aid workers". More than 1,500 staff have provided a range of services across Somalia. Unni Karunakara, MSF's international president, said it has been one of the hardest decisions MSF has ever had to make. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-africa-23697275 Good news.

N.O.R.F Posted August 14, 2013 Why is this good news? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hobbesian_Brute Posted August 14, 2013 Because i fundamentally believe Aid does not work. The Aid industry piggy backs on third world misery to enrich certain people with little results to show for the Billions of dollars they collect and spend on others behalf. More importantly Aid creates distortions, disincentives, dependency and is an obstacle to genuine indigenous solutions. No country has developed through Aid, it is a feel good avenue for guilt ridden liberals in developed countries to expiate for their sins. Look at the recent example of Haiti, it has received vast amounts of Aid in money and materiel since the earthquake, however there is little to show for it, that is well documented. Some of the supposed Aid is also loans entered into and signed by corrupt and unelected regimes in the third world, which will fall on the backs of their impoverished citizens to pay for generations, a kind of bondage or modern day slavery. Aid is a crime against humanity. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GAROODI Posted August 14, 2013 ^^^ MSF is not the UN Einstien. They go to war zones where no one will go to and treat injured people... Learn the difference between UN aid and MSF assistance. They do a fantastic job. Go and treat the poor people your denying basic life to. You think the somali government will help them? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Haatu Posted August 14, 2013 MSF provide basic medical help where it's needed, not expired cheap food. They will be missed by the poor who rely on them for their healthcare. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You have shown your ignorance, Aid is not only UN but includes lots of other organizations. MSF falls within the Aid industry. if you want fight endless clan wars, no one should treat you, but must be left to face the horrors of your foolishness alone and unaided so that you truly cherish peace. There in lies the wisdom, einstein. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Miskiin-Macruuf-Aqiyaar Posted August 14, 2013 Gaal calooshiisa u buuxdo oo gaaladiisa kale quudiyo awalba inuu u ka naxo Soomaali Maxamed oo wada Muslim ah - taas qofkii sugaaye aaba ka waalan. Hay'adaan inay ka dhaqaaqdo Soomaalida aad ugu baahan aad iyo aad ugu naxay. Hay'adda kaliya boqolaal kun oo Soomaali ah ku noolaayeen waaye, meesha kaliya mininum caafimaad iyo daryeel ka heli jireen, not to mention shaqaalaha Soomaaliyeed iyo reerahooda mishaarkooda ku xirnaa. Hay'addaan waa hay'adda kaliya degmooyinka iyo tuulooyinka ka shaqeyn jirtay, waana meesha dadka aadka ugu baahan degnaayeen. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Khadafi Posted August 14, 2013 Hobessian, we all want a Somalia on it's own feet, but why do you want the poor somalis, those without the money those who are forced to seek medical care from MSF to die What would you do if you were among those many somalis who have no other alternative then to seek medical care from MSF? Your a gaal but to be honest even the gaalo has more mercy then you. Ninkaani is a freaking troll- Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
