Nigerien Blogger Esther Garvi is on our radar again. While debating issues on aid organizations operating in Africa and the handling of “emergencies” on a Norwegian TV station, she made some powerful statements , excerpt:
“Please note that Africa is not an experiment field for Western lack of imagination in the field of aid or Western “wonder products”. It is not the property of white people who have fallen in love with the red soil, nor is it a playground for international politics. It is a continent that has been disrupted by colonialism and which stands with half a heritage that they cannot easily restore, and also suffers from a lot of environmental issues.”
