Aid Restructuring Counterplancontention one: increasing foreign aid to africa is like throwing gasoline on a fire. instead, we should withdraw from these quick-fix solutions and develop sustainable aid structures including corruption controls, cutting aid, and focusing on several key countries. Calderisi 2006 (Robert, Rhodes Scholar and 30-year career in International Development principally at the World Bank, “The Trouble with Africa: Why Foreign Aid Isn’t Working”, p.208-210) furthermore, foreign aid is channeled through corrupt governments which funds embezzlement or luxury and prevents development for the poor. it props up oppressive dictatorships and encourages continuation of poverty so governments can continue getting loans.

Chase 1996 (Robert S., PhD Candidate in Economics at Yale, Pivotal States and U.S. Strategy, Foreign Affairs, Jan-Feb, Vol 75 Issue 1, in conjunction with Emily B.

Militants in Nigeria have given president Yar’Adua a window of opportunity to maintain credibility and end their conflict. Failure will cause more terrorism and oil companies to pull out. Vanguard 7-24-07 (Africa News (Nigeria), “Nigeria; Economy Realises N536.47bn From Crude Oil in June,” Lexis) Aid policies destroy government credibility – they’re seen as unable to protect their own people or negotiate effectively with donors. Herfkens, 6-22-07 (Eveline, executive coordinator of the Millennium Campaign of the UN, Sabina Zaccaro: staff writer/interviewer for IPS, Q&A: "Too Few African Governments Have Had the Guts to Say 'No'" Interview with Eveline Herfkens, http://www.ipsnews.net/africa/nota.asp?idnews=38277) Loss of legitimacy in Nigeria would destroy standards throughout west Africa and cause massive state failure.
