Trump and Musk Bring Vast Aid Machinery to a Halt in Africa
Briefly

The proposed closure of the U.S. Agency for International Aid by President Trump, prompted by accusations of corruption and fraud, has led to widespread confusion and fear within U.S.A.I.D. offices in Africa. This drastic move threatens to dismantle decades of assistance in healthcare and education, leaving millions of ordinary Africans vulnerable. As aid budgets are slashed, both African governments and humanitarian organizations face significant challenges in meeting the needs of populations reliant on aid. The long-standing model of American engagement in Africa is at risk of collapse, creating uncertainty for future support efforts.
