3 years agoGaddafi’s troops are committing rape to children en masse, they have issued viagra to mass rape people since the start. this is where your anger and energy need to be. Imagine being outraged at the nation defending itself from mass rape, and those countries that are sending the tools that they’re being asked for to help defend themselves.
i recall reading some quote from thomas sankara about how ngos are another extension of control with the quote - “Those who come with wheat, millet, corn or milk, they are not helping us. Those who really want to help us can give us ploughs, tractors, fertilizers, insecticides, watering cans, drills and dams. That is how we would define food aid.” and how “he who feeds you, controls you”
i also just recently listening to the millennials are killing capitalism, with their interview on the sameer project with hala sabbah, where she works in a mutual aid group in palestine and she talks about the interactions between palestinians and the NGOs
how extremely limited and bureaucratic the NGOs are, saying some similar about how the entire objective of the ngo are to control people.
but interesting to see what the perspective from the NGO’s staffer side is like the from the lower ranks jumping through the many hoops
