How about they stop importing people from those countries instead?
>The West African nation of Mali has been the subject of a significant Russian influence campaign since the Malian army overthrew the government in a coup in 2021. The Wagner mercenary group, headed by the late Yevgeny Prigozhin, was particularly active in Mali, and has been accused of perpetrating war crimes and widespread looting.

>Mali has abstained from votes on UN resolutions condemning Russia’s full-scale war, demanding Russian troops leave Ukraine, and denouncing the illegal annexation of Ukrainian territory. Mali also voted against a resolution to remove Russia from the United Nations Human Rights Council.
Good, push Mali into russian hugs
European countries should also withdraw aid to countries that refuse to take back their asylum scammers.
Sweden supporting the wrong people again
Why was Sweden giving aid to Mali in the first place? Curious
Good ! Let Mali seek aid from Russia. I’ll give a decade or two until Mali finds out that Russia is just as imperialistic as the West was in the past.
Good. Let them get aid from Ruzzia.
No African countries should receive aid
We should stop sending the amount of aid we do in general. The recipients clearly aren’t thankful for it, and take it for given.
My country gives 0,7 percent of GDP year on year in foreign aid, and we got fuck all to show for it, while there are constant budget cuts to our welfare state.
Big issue here was that Swedish taxpayers were bankrolling Malians (or at least the Malian government) for some reason
It is not just about Russia, although that it is true. It is about democratic governments, working towards less corruption, human rights (and yes, talking back refugees, although we hardly have any from Mali). I am not very well versed about Mali but it seems like they are sliding down the scale every year. Unfortunately.
One of the current governments more minor promises in regards to other promises were that they would overhaul the foreign aid. And they have started to do that now.
Can we also stop giving aid to India? They got a space program ffs.
About fucking time. No more aid to countries diametrically opposed to our security interests.
African countries don’t need anymore useless aid, they need investment and infrastructure. This is why the Chinese are winning in Africa. They’re investing and building infrastructure.
