#Afghanistan Is The Big Winner In U.S. Foreign Aid – What about #Somalia #Syria and #Yemen ?
Time Magazine just published an article on US Foreign aid. It includes top foreign aid recipients by region and country. I get why Afghanistan is the highest recipient of aid here, however there are a few disturbing issues with some of the other countries on here being so high while more strategic countries are not even in the top ten. To begin with, why is Israel higher than Iraq? Israel is a key strategic ally but for gods sake we poured for more of an investment into Iraq and it should be out-ranking Israel by at least a couple billion. If I had the ability to reorganize this list it would look something like this:
1) Afghanistan (to include via Pakistan)
2) Iraq
3) Somalia via Kenya & Ethiopia
4) Yemen
5) Syria
(Next 5 not necessarily in order by aid amount)
6) Nigeria
7) Mexico
8) Insert any Sub-Saharan Africa country here
9) Insert any Sub-Saharan Africa country here
10) Insert any Sub-Saharan Africa country here
