In the previous articles we reviewed how the international capitalist system was able to plunder and steal the wealth of the African peoples under different pretexts and stratagems and also under the pretext of extending aid and loans to the developing African countries. Today we will follow up and explain how donations and relief aid to the African peoples have become a type of an anesthesia or opium for crippling capabilities and resources of the African individual, and thus it corrupted his soul and dwarfed his creativity.

The national regimes, which assumed power after the eviction of colonizers from the African continent, lacked the qualification and ability to get adopted and harmonize with their peoples. To the contrary they had been an easy prey in the trap of conspiracies set by the colonizers for depriving African countries of stability and tranquility. This in turn led to the creation of political crises represented in turmoils, unrest, coup d'etats, and economic, social and cultural crises ...etc.

As a result of such situations, Africa witnessed a huge process of dissipation for its human resources, which are capable of creativity and ingenuity to Europe and America. This great brain drain immensely negatively impacted the development projects all over the continent.

A repot published by the BBC said that for each African state there are over 25 thousand people of those of who have professional expertise in the field of medicine who are living and working in America, Britain and Australia as well as in other countries in their bid to escape the hell of the ruling regimes and for finding a safe haven for their families.

This is however great loss for this continent whose peoples are living below the poverty line and are in dire living conditions. This means that the poor countries are getting poorer and the rich ones are getting richer and surfeiting with over-consumption all at the expense of the former.

Then came neo-colonialism under a new guise working under what is called the humanitarian assistance for creating a new situation and a new method for drying up the remaining sources of wealth as well as working for paralyzing the abilities of the African individual to render him hostage and captive for these ready-made donations. It is the habit in western states to offer great financial temptations and motivations for attracting the qualified and educated human resources from their home countries. This has been one of the prominent hidden objectives of the humanitarian groups and institutions known as the NGOs. If we contemplated and scrutinized the activities of these organizations which are working under the umbrella of humanitarian aid, we find that they are working for paralyzing the active human resource in the society and crippling the capability of youth who are qualified for development and reconstruction initiatives by paying them salaries whose size is not compatible with the effort exerted. In addition to the increments and allowances which they obtain from the NGOs active inside that country. Also we notice that a larger sector from the working force in the African communities are engaged in marginal activities for these organizations represented in guards, couriers and drivers etc. in exchange for very tempting financial returns to enable such individuals to live an affluent life. This situation caused the imbalance among the working people in the one and same country, and created a state of unrest and discontent especially among those who are working with dedication and sincerity for improving production quantitatively and qualitatively in the government and non-government institutions. Accordingly the governments were deprived of the expertise and capabilities of the qualified national manpower.

What is more grave in the impacts of the programs of humanitarian assistance is the creation of an environment for generation and the proliferation of corruption. Because most of the programs undertaken by these organizations are useless and counterproductive programs. Also they lack concentration and serious work. What they offer is only the crumbs, which do not satisfy any real need. On the contrary their harm is more than their benefit. The net result of this is inculcating the culture of dependence in the ranks of African societies as well as the disregard for free endeavor and dignified living which depend on one's own effort and sweat. And inside these aid institutions appear intricate and complex relations. As soon as an individual obtains a certain job in one of them this step masks suspect relations smelling of corruption, favoritism, and narrow personal interests. These practices and violations extend their negative impacts to the government institutions thus exposing them to grave damages and losses. The ultimate outcome is that such corruption which is gnawing the African regimes and establishing its cancerous growth in governmental institutions in the African continent, is due to the aid and assistance programs which are called humanitarian and which crippled the African individual and paralyzed him from practicing his main activities in work and living by his own effort and sweat.
