When I first learnt how prevalent it was in some African countries I was genuinely shocked, partly at how uninformed I'd been on the topic but mainly that it isn't treated with the urgency we saw with something like COVID. There are nations that really are dependent on medical assistance to avoid the collapse of entire demographics.
In Eswatini 1 in 4 people in the adult populations has HIV/AIDS.
I think as humans we really do have to pull together to tackle viruses/diseases, perhaps not everybody would agree, but I think it's one of our core duties as a species. Whether you live or die should not depend on where you're born. Shamefully, the support we provide to Africa to tackle things like malaria and HIV is actually pretty meagre in the grand scheme of things. When you consider Africa is a continent that Europe historically plundered for its own benefit, out of the trillions that governments spend in Europe, we provide <0.1% in health assistance to African nations.
For Trump to effectively blackmail Zambia with taking away even the small amount the US gives in order to plunder them even further is shameful. But then so is nearly everything Trump does. I don't think shame is an emotion that exists any more in the USA.
