Those are economic weapons meant to disrupt the local food market, not donations.

[realvirginia]

We all know why. The US doesn't want ANYONE to be truly self sufficient.

[EricFortuneJr.]

Don’t take anything from America. There’s always strings attached.

[richardlawrence]

Don't eat that US FOOD IT'S TOXIC .

[astonndombelendombele]

This exactly what happened in Haiti rice production. US send cheap subsidies rice to 🇭🇹, force hatians farmers out of business, end result local were forced to purchase US poisoned rice as local farmers could not compete with US producer who were subsidy to begin.Thereby disrupting once thriving industry.

It was said by elders before 2020 that we shall see Africa rising up and slowly moving away from the West .Im now witnessing this reality in real time 🤫

The purpose of the assistance is create dependency rather than foster growth and independence. African country should say no to foreign assistance unless there is clear mutual benefit where African country grow from the exchange.

I would send it back too..America gives nothing for free..Definitively nothing thats good..If it doesn't make sense..it probably doesn't.

[BrendaSmart-eg]

Whem America gives away food to foreign countries, there are always going to be strings attached .

Africa must unite against the western world for the benefit of Africa, Lets move forward and develope Africa.

[georgeharris]

Muhammad Bashe is smart. The country is doing just fine with-out them.

[bensonmuiruri]

It must be GMO products. NGOs should be prohibited from receiving unsolicited donations.

[annrose]

His response is best. They put stuff in ourn food and water that no one should want.

[mimied]

Unfortunately, we don’t have that many black leaders with spine. But we have plenty that bent their backs to beg for crumbs.

[gam]

I live in the US the majority of the things the government does is appalling, disgusting and embarrassing. It's shameful what they do here.😢

[pauletteboyd]

😂❤Thank you brother for your reply to US food is not healthy!

[yvettewills]

His action shows he is WATCH AND WILL NOT BE MANIPULATED. EXCELLENT.

[puhigeoffreywaynefuimaonok]

USA trying to undermine Tanzania Kia Kaha do not let them

[AnnaYAH]

It's not only free but completely jacked up with chemicals and engineered to be not food. Let them eat their jacked up rice!

The Tanzanian minister of Agriculture Hussein Mohamed Bashe is 100% correct. It is as if the People are not actually there. And their opinions, desires and abilities as people in their Sovereignty, don't matter. They can fly over anytime they want and drop whatever they want. Goods or not Goods. Of which they have a lot of experience. This country LOVES to pat itself on the back. Just because. It LOVES to take credit. Whether right or wrong. This country is Extroverted that way to the World.
