Brussels '€˜throwing money' at lawless African state now at brink of civil war
2016-03-31
[Express] THE European Union has been branded "irresponsible" for "throwing money" at an African state besieged by poverty, violence and corruption.
I've got it! Small forts could be built adjacent the rail lines. They can be built of concrete or stone and will serve as a long lasting testimony to British and EU resolve. Not sure why I didn't think of it before.
More than 400 people have been killed in Burundi since last April when President Pierre Nkurunziza announced he was standing for re-election - a vote he won that July for the third time.

Now as the threat of violence between rebels and government-backed soldiers heightens, and the country faces civil war, the EU has announced it will suspend funding to the army in a ploy to encourage peace talks - a move which UKIP (United Independence Party) have dubbed irresponsible.
I had to include the following comment from a chap named Wallace:
"Surprise surprise!!!! THE European Union has been branded "irresponsible" for "throwing money" Nothing new here folfks! I have worked and lived in Africa and can say ALL of Africa is corrupt! The British government accountants have known this for generations. To say the unelected EU thiefs and the British elected are only seeing this now, takes a lot of believing? Most of the money goes to the top political peoples bank accounts. The working people paying taxes have always been the ones to pay it ALL. Even the Salvation get goods free here and SELL them in Africa. IT's ALL about money. All the charities you give money to , live it up in Africa and have outlandish weekend parties all paid for. Governments have FREE holidays, everything paid for by YOU.

Britain needs a shake up and needs OUT of the EU. Muslims need to be be told there are no changes here , if you do not like it then LEAVE!"

#3  Why not throw money away? It's not like they have a domestic terrorism problem to deal with.

Heck, they've been funding the PLO et al with the same attributes. Why worry about Africans, unless you're racists.
