BEAN TO BRAND, TARIFF TO TRAP by Lawson Akhigbe
Next in Abuja, four governments will do something that sounds, on paper, like a belated act of economic self-respect. Nigeria, Ghana, Côte d'Ivoire and Cameroon between them the source of roughly two-thirds of the cocoa that becomes the world's chocolate will sign the Abuja Declaration and stand up a Cocoa Value Addition Alliance, a coordinated attempt to stop shipping out raw beans and start capturing some of the value that currently accrues, almost entirely, to everyone else. Nigeria will additionally sign its own Cocoa Value Addition Accord, a domestic compact roping in governors, farmer groups, financiers and researchers into the project of turning bean into brand rather than bean into someone else's bar.https://lawakhigbe.com/2026/07/17/bean-to-brand-tariff-to-trap-by-lawson-akhigbe/

"By slashing UK aid funding to countries like Ethiopia, Malawi, Mozambique, Rwanda, Sierra Leone and Uganda, this Labour government is abandoning communities on the frontlines of conflict and the climate crisis and risks plunging these countries’ populations into poverty and instability.”

Nearly 3/4 of a million human beings have died as a result of the current administration’s closure of #USAID.
Imagine being a parent in a scenario in which your child’s life depended on ongoing treatment provided through USAID. You’re forced to watch your child sicken and die because some jackass in Washington cared so little about non-white, non-American lives, that they were perfectly happy let your child die to save a couple of nickels (so they could spend them on ballrooms and bombs).
This is something that has actually happened—is actually happening. Day by day, week by week, month by month. Needless, wasteful deaths that are a direct result of MAGA xenophobia.
Let’s call it what it is: a lower-case-“h” #holocaust, with Red Don in the role of Führer and Elon Musk as Reinhard Heydrich (architect of the “Final Solution”).

“The White House and Congress have been battling over federal spending since Day 1 of the Trump administration, setting up a constitutional crisis — a breakdown of the division of power among the three branches of the federal government, according to several legal scholars. “
“Now, in defying Congress on foreign aid that Trump himself agreed to spend, the administration is quietly escalating the battle.”

Foreign Aid used to be about fixing what's wrong in the world, increasing security, and showing humanity. Now, it's becoming a tool for stealing data, extracting value, and training AI.

The head of the UN’s humanitarian agency, Tom Fletcher, rightly points to the opportunity cost of the US/Israeli attacks on Iran... and while its also true that the money spent on the attacks would not her necessarily (or likely) have found its way to foreign aid, what it does emphasise as many would want to point out: there's always money for war(s) even when we are told there is no money for humanitarian aid.
War always seems to win.

And yet the far-right complains about immigration originating from these countries !? Utter idiocy!!!
"Germany, the United States, the United Kingdom, Japan and France (ranked by ODA volume) accounted for 95.7% of the total decline in ODA. The United States alone drove three-quarters of the decline, with its ODA falling by 56.9% compared to 2024. This is the largest reduction in volume by any provider in any year on record. In 2025, Germany was the largest DAC provider of ODA for the first time in history, with its ODA totalling USD 29.1 billion. Eight DAC members increased their ODA."
