For sure. On the neo colonialism, just look what the EU did to Mali with the whole milk bullshit. Its interesting that the article talks a lot about HIV. Thats a very emotive one for people. I had a long chat to two volunteer doctors who were leaving south Africa many years ago. They skirted around the topic of HIV related aid and the work they did so I tried pressing a little as they seemed to be hinting about something nefarious that was more than what they were openly talking about. The response I finally got was "we'd prefer to change topic as there are things that we would rather not discuss as we consider talking about them to be too high a risk for our personal safety". That conversation has always stuck with me. I do hope all these topics can be discussed more openly and less politically. Who knows!
