„Aid is War on Africa“ – Video interview with Yash Tandon
In September 2015, Yash Tandon presented his latest book « Trade is war » in Berlin. On this occasion, AfricAvenir organised a dialogue forum with him on the Post-2015 Development Agenda. Interviewed on this occasion, Tandon forcefully claims that free trade and development aid have been instruments of (Western) capitalism in its « war » against the South and have left the African continent wretched although still resisting. Tandon emphasizes that we cannot speak of the failure of the aid system and hence do not need to reform it. On the contrary, the aid system has been highly successful in opening economies to (neo)liberal trade and exploitation.n Mit dem Laden des Videos akzeptieren Sie die Datenschutzerklärung von YouTube.nYash Tandon is a Ugandan policymaker, political activist, and academic.
