P.Sainath Quotes

The Global Aid Community Is Mobilised Into Fighting Drought In A District That Gets 1,500 Mm Of Rainfall Annually. The Reverse Spiral Begins. Donor Governments Love Emergency Relief. It Forms A Negligible Part Of Their Spending, But Makes For Great Advertising. (Emergencies Of Many Sorts Do This, Not Just Drought. You Can Run Television Footage Of The Marines Kissing Babies In Somalia.) There Are More Serious Issues Between Rich And Poor Nations - Like Unequal Trade. Settling Those Would Be Of Greater Help To The Latter. But For That, The 'donors' Would Have To Part With Something For Real. No. They Prefer Emergency Relief.
