    A lot of this food aid being exported there is in the form of propietary grain crops -GM mostly-that very poor farmers will try to plant, and have crop failures then. They will be locked into to the globalist agrimonopolists cycle, and won't be able to save seed year to year, instead being forced to purchase seed, and already they are on subsistance level incomes, having to pay for seed will doom them to perpetual serfdom fpr the most part, even worse than it is now. It's the exact reason the forward-thinkers in those nations are trying to refuse "food" aid even when they desperately need it, they know it's a temporary fix, just like drugs, ie "the first hit is free". There's wheels inside of agendas with *free* "aid".
