And the big argument is about: _DEPENDENCY_ The African Union is concerned about President Donald Trump's 2nd attempt to withdraw the U.S. from the WHO, as its $500 million annual contribution supports 47 African nations. This funding aids health development, disease control (TB, HIV, cancer), disaster preparedness, and maternal health. In 2024, less than half of Africa’s health priorities were funded. Aficans need the aid due to limited access to healthcare resources. Nonetheless, critics argue aid fosters dependency and corruption, and others view the U.S. withdrawal as an opportunity for entrepreneurship and local growth. Either way, Africa must create sustainable solutions to address the broader issue of an aid-dependent economy. #pushafrican #thinkingafrica #africannews #mud
