Which explains why the 3 overall top posts are:

1. Why is there so much politics behind aid?
2. The media has awakened
3. My first debate

Here’s a quote from the last one:

Please note that Africa is not an experiment field for Western lack of imagination in the field of aid or Western “wonder products”. It is not the property of white people who have fallen in love with the red soil, nor is it a playground for international politics. It is a continent that has been disrupted by colonialism and which stands with half a heritage that they cannot easily restore, and also suffers from a lot of environmental issues. […]

I am not sad that joyful children do not sell as much as dying ones. I realized today what twenty years of holding on to your integrity really means in the chameleonic atmosphere of the who’s whos of the giant aid industries. We are not for sale, and nor are African children. If you want to go for the emotional blackmail, choose the cows but treat people with the same dignity as you would want for your own children; and do not make a story and create havoc just because you ran out of ideas. Africa is NOT a place for aid experiments or foreign product speculations.

Let’s see what the rest of the warm season (May & June) brings!
