Foreign aid has been used by many well-off Western countries to enhance neo-colonialism in the Third World. Therefore, rejecting foreign aid and embracing technology is the sacrifice we have to overcome as Africa.
Neo-colonialism will not be overcome by the goodwill of our modern colonizers. Just like there is no colonized country in Africa that gained its independence on a silver platter, Africa should not expect to break the yoke of neo-colonialism without any struggle.
