*African Nations Alarmed by 90-Day U.S. Aid Freeze, Fearing Humanitarian Crisis*
The U.S. government has announced a 90-day freeze on foreign aid, prompting widespread concern across Africa, where many rely on American-funded programs for essential services. While waivers have been issued for “life-saving humanitarian assistance,” the suspension threatens critical initiatives such as PEPFAR, which provides HIV/AIDS treatment to millions. Health officials in Kenya, South Africa, and Nigeria warn of dire consequences, including potential medical and humanitarian crises. The Trump administration defends the move as a necessary review of U.S. spending, but critics argue it could disrupt global health efforts and weaken America’s strategic influence.
