"Attracting financial capital is essential for economic growth in developing countries, but can often tragically foster nondemocratic politics. Consider, for example, the impact of foreign aid. Since 2008 Ethiopia has been one of the largest recipients of U.S. aid in Africa, averaging around $80 million per year. While intended to foster economic development, increasingly practitioners are growing wary of the aid's political ramifications.

Western aid officials "seem reluctant to admit that there are two Prime Minister Meles Zenawis.

The other is a dictator whose totalitarianism dates backs to Cold War days.""--
