Africa is struggling with the triple shock of rising debt burdens, an ongoing food crisis and climate change fallout and needs more help from international institutions and wealthy nations to cope, African finance ministers said on Saturday.

provoked capital market turmoil and an inflation acceleration that sent food prices soaring.

"Even if the IMF, the World Bank and our regional institutions have put in place emergency funds, these funds don't really seem sufficient to respond to this," Chanfiou said. Rwanda, Barbados, Costa Rica, Bangladesh and Jamaica have already reached agreements for loan programs from the facility, and 44 others have expressed interest.

The African finance ministers, meanwhile, called for a G20-backed framework aimed at helping countries restructure burdensome debt to go further.

Now those are the black people I could probably help. The legitimate African who doesn’t hate white people; doesn’t hurl insults and frivolous racism accusations; and who’s grateful for the helping hand. Gee-wouldn’t that be nice.

Wish them the best of luck, but we have our own financial crisis to be concerned with in America. We can't burden our taxpayers with Africa's problems too.

Lemme guess, they need US dollars? Billions to Ukraine, billions to Africa. Tax more and raise prices on everything here. Typical cycle.

America first. Stop funding Ukraine and any other country for any reason.

“Climate change fallout” Don’t worry y’all Greta will fly there in a jet and stay in a high class hotel and then lecture y’all about the climate.

We have all the same problems here (except the fake climate nonsense), the difference is when we completely fal nobody else will be left to aid us. So maybe we should get our house in order.

Is that China deal not working out for them? So sad.

Hmm... same trifecta leftists in America are wishing for.

End foreign aid now.

Says the country with people living under every bridge.

Ask Bono from U2 about the issues with trying to help Africa. You couldn’t find many, if any, who dedicated more of their lives to this issue and came to realize it’s just not something that can be forcefully resolved by others. The change can only happen internally.

I recently read somewhere that Putin erased Africa’s debt 🤷‍♀️

Free handouts?
