Blocking import with extra taxes and rules they couldn't fullfill while dumping cheap shit on the market there. And al the 'humanitarian aid' made them beggers instead of entrepreneurs while the 'helpers' vorking for the NGO's where driving in big cars and living in big houses with swimming pools. Finally they are doing better now in Africa, some fastest growing economies. Good for them. Now is China making all the cheap goods, if Africa can do that, why not.
What food did we dump on the Third World?

As for cheap goods, the West doesn't produce them.

Agree about the Humanitarian Aid. That money ended up in the pockets of the few and the debt on the backs of many. It should never have been given. Nigeria has a lot of multi-billionaires and the some of the worse poverty and unable to put together a force to combat Boko Harem.
