By sheer human nature you will never have everyone living in peace nor well fed nor educated nor clothed...sad but true. |

Unfortunately ISIS and other extreme Muslim organizations are not helping the cause of anybody. |

Desperately sad and tragic, it all started with such high hopes, but soon disintegrated into war with all its accompanying horrors. No amount of aid will significantly help these poor people who are constantly caught up in these vicious cycles of violence. God knows what the answer is. |

The effects of civil war have contributed to more than one million people facing starvation in South Sudan. |

One shouldn't pass by on the other side but one also shouldn't give for the sake of it. |

Having not checked lately....what % of aid goes to India for instance and agreed space travel is excellent..how is the UK space programme ?.....how many schools have been built around the world on UK funds and never used ?....sometimes you can pour endless amounts into a pot and that pot will never fulfil it's function as there are too many bleeder holes from it funding a rich leader for instance....none of which is anything to do with Brexit. :-) |

You know that these deals are being financed by foreign aid?!! I don't think you do, I think you just like to sound all knowing and terribly important, safe in the knowledge that no one on here will challenge your flimsy information! |

Rollo, that is actually complete rubbish, and you know it. War, starvation, destitution, all these dire situations were alive and well in Africa long long before brexit. It's an insovable problem while countries persist in fighting each other and their economies are constantly wrecked by warfare. Help for problems caused by natural disasters are almost always immediately wrecked, leaving the population once again starving and displaced. These constant conflicts are not the sole fault of his country, though I'm sure you'd like to convince us otherwise |

So the UK is spending some money to look after home rather than for instance funding a girl band..and Germany and France the two countries who will have to pick up the financial slack are sulking what a surprise.... |

I havent woven anything the Brits are running attempts at bilateral sweetheart deals in e Europe in return for support in the upcoming negs. The deals would be financed by the foreign aid budget. Paris and Berlin are displeased and have warned London that such actions could result in no negs at all apart from the brexit bill itself. |

Another dimension to the situation is that as militia move around the country, it does not buy food but simply takes what it wants, leaving farmers with little or no food to feed families. |
