The issue is though Geezer, most of the £90 million in aid will not reach the needy. It will supply heavy machine guns and rocket launchers to the bandits and islamist terror groups. Maybe even buy a fleet of rubber dinghies and outboard engines.

It's the 5C way.

TBF that's small beer compared to the £11.6bn earmarked for foriegn "climate change initiatives".

big impoverished country - north  kinda  Aswan, south DRC, Uganda, Kenya

and so someone says " I know ! lets have a civil war that will be much better!"

and a few other says -  yes lets

Scroll to 2:30.

This sort of money being given away will not go unnoticed in theis country.  Is the Labour party mad?  They can't expect to  be re-elected with this sort of record can they?  Are they hoping that we oldies will die off and others will just moan?

Ahh the Sudan. The Kush and the cosh. Main slave route for the Arab world until Samuel White Baker(English) put a stop to most of it. Prosperous and much coveted by the Egyptians and Turks. Now they are religious they seem unable to support or protect themselves, but it will not be the adherants to that religian that offer aid. That somehow becomes our responsibility, despite being ousted by the indigenous peoples despite bringing 60 years of peace and progress in partnership with the Egyptians up until 1955. Let the Saudis or the Iranians or the other oil rich arab countries sort it, they caused it. BTW the name Sudan derives from the arabic phrase "land of the black people"(بلاد السودان bilād as-sūdān). Not my problem  ...  unless you know different.  

it's the Fuzzy Wuzzies sir, they don't like it up em....

Meanwhile, earlier this year, the Ithen) Tory Government nearly DOUBLED our aid Sudan.

// It is part of a £89 million package the UK will deliver in Sudan in 2024 to 2025 – up from nearly £50 million in the current financial year. //

Funny how ABs extremists missed this announcement from Sunak in March but are all over it now there is a Labour Government giving aid to those filthy Islamist murdrers. 😀😂

all foreign should stop, we have enough needy in the uk, just wait till winter hits... this government and the last one and all the ones before, useless with tax payers money.

I thought it wasn't on anymore for us to be 'white saviours'

Morally it is right to provide support in desperate situations. In need not be an either/or choice with running one's own nation well. Just needs common sense management.

Yeah but Sunak didn't remove the OAPs winter fuel allowance

Labour do love spending everyone else's money, don't they?

“The problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other people's money.”

I guess 86m will buy a few people a Roller or a Lambo.

Wont get anywhere near thos who actually need it.

I thought it wasn't on anymore for us to be 'white saviours'

late fifties... Sudan has been pretty chaotic since the egyptians and ourselves were kicked out in 1956

Favoured nation status where the Americans kept a billion dollars in a country and financed aid there is now looked on as a tool of economic imperial oppression

( paid for the archeological  site I worked on 1980)

oops that was Egypt ( favoured nation) not Sudan

2015 ; we are still  favoured nation: we allow the CIA to torture foreign detainees in our prisons

oo-er ustadh !

Wasn't Kipling addressing the Americans when he wrote:  'Take up the white man's burden...?

 

Ta Webbo.

""  So 'ere's ~to~ you, Fuzzy-Wuzzy, at your 'ome in the Soudan;
You're a pore benighted 'eathen but a first-class fightin' man;
 An' 'ere's ~to~ you, Fuzzy-Wuzzy, with your 'ayrick 'ead of 'air 
You big black boundin' beggar — for you broke a British square!""

Kipling.
