Charlie McHenryA list of cancelled and retained USAID contracts presented to the US Congress indicates that at least nine African nations may have lost all projects…Analysis of the list by two research fellows at the Centre for Global Development shows the cuts are deepest in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Ethiopia, Uganda, South Africa, Kenya and Tanzania. Across 44 African countries, they amount to nearly $4 billion in lost funding. —From “The Continent” <a href="https://connectop.us/tags/Africa" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Africa</a> <a href="https://connectop.us/tags/USAID" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#USAID</a> <a href="https://connectop.us/tags/ForeignPolicy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ForeignPolicy</a> <a href="https://connectop.us/tags/DRC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DRC</a> <a href="https://connectop.us/tags/Ethiopia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Ethiopia</a> <a href="https://connectop.us/tags/Uganda" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Uganda</a> <a href="https://connectop.us/tags/Kenya" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Kenya</a> <a href="https://connectop.us/tags/Tanzania" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Tanzania</a> <a href="https://connectop.us/tags/SouthAfrica" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SouthAfrica</a> <a href="https://connectop.us/tags/RepublicansDidThis" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RepublicansDidThis</a> <a href="https://connectop.us/tags/TheContinent" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#TheContinent</a>

Per AxbomIn <a class="u-url mention" href="https://mas.to/@thecontinent" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@thecontinent</a> this weekend. « "When I went to Africa, it seemed like no one was paying attention. It was like: ‘We can do whatever we want.’" These are the words of an American military drone operator – someone who, at the press of a button, can decide whether Africans live or die. A devastating new investigation details how one particular drone strike killed a Somali mother and her four-year-old daughter. The United States military investigated itself and exonerated itself. Because in Africa, you can do whatever you want. » <a class="hashtag" href="https://axbom.me/tag/thecontinent" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#TheContinent</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://axbom.me/tag/somalia" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Somalia</a> <a href="https://mas.to/@thecontinent/111430566639579861" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://mas.to/@thecontinent/111430566639579861</a>
