Foreign aid is an amazing thing in modern diplomacy... until it is mistreated and abused for the sake of power by any means.
For example, in the Horn of Africa, the Eth National Defense Forces, Amhara Regional State Forces, Eritrea's Military, & Somali soldiers have invaded, plundered, and committed genocide in the Regional State of Tigray. Then, when the Tigray Defense Force defeated the coalition a drove them out of most of Tigray, PM Abiy's Administration & Party along with Isayas Afewerki are starving the people of basic necessities via siege. Now, the US Government, the European Union, and many other UN member states have continuously sent massive amounts of relief (manly food and medical supplies) to help the People of Tigray. HOWEVER, the Federal Government of ETH has deliberately blocked all roads into the State of Tigray and tampered with the NGOs & humanitarian groups that are on the ground (all while blaming TDF). In the end, all the food and medicine just rots and wastes away in the process.
AId doesn't mean anything if it doesn't accomplish what it is intended to. And for that to happen the original issue must have to be dealt with.
