Africa is the new world ot conquer, imperial powers race to see who can give more assistance to africa. It is being politicized in the Mid East now for secutiry reasons.
Lee, 11-19-07, The Nation p. 3
Hege is just another way of denying the African voice – notions that the west is best destroys agency.
Simon Chesterman, Senior Associate at the Inernational Peace Academy, Melbourne Journal of Politics, Vol 24
America simply views Africa as the doorstep to world domination – rebuilding the image of the dying empire by benevolent assistance to the helpless third world.
Zizek 2k5, “Violence, Irrational and Rational”, lacan.com/zizfrance.htm
The aff’s reslentless quest for improving US image continuously denies Africans a voice. The aff brings back the proxy wars of the cold war.
Simon Chesterman, Senior Associate at the Inernational Peace Academy, Melbourne Journal of Politics, Vol 24
The hidden purpose of the plan is the protection of US security interests. They claim moral highground from providing water to people dying o thirsts, but the plan will jus tbecome another tool for protecting US security interests. Agamben, Security and Terror, Theory and Even, Vol 5, Issue 1
The operation is supposed to intervene and remove the problem. The aff cannot recognize the true problem as being the plan and will soon identify the problem as those “diseased”
Bernauer, 90
The inevitable nature of public health ensures that Africans never have a voice and they continue to be dominated by foreign powers. Only when the int’l community stop the asstiance can Africans decolonize their minds.
African Focus, July 2k6, www.Africafocus.org/docs06/aid0607a.php
African nations have the full capacity to confront their own problems. Cleaning water is not that hard- anyone can do it. Not a single US assistance program has been overall beneficial to the Africans. There is no risk of tied aid or colonialism in the world of the alternative – only a risk of puvlic health assistance that actually assists the health of the African public.
