@dangillmor I don't think we can convince #USAID opponents of the necessity of this programme with statements such as ‘it's a crime’
I would focus on two points:
1. USAID is a small amount of money for the United States, which has given the American state soft power, stopped the spread of all kinds of diseases (which could have reached the United States) and made the world a better place. China and Russia, which are acting against the United States, could take the place of USAID
Wo besteht die größte Diskrepanz zwischen Wahrnehmung (Bekanntheit/öffentliche Berichterstattung) und Auswirkung (Anzahl der Opfer)?

Nach dem Aus der US-Entwicklungshilfeagentur #USAID bangen viele Hilfsorganisationen um ihre Existenz. Doch nicht alle afrikanischen Expertïnnen sehen das Aus negativ. Warum sich aus dem Ende von USAID auch eine Chance ergibt, weiß Bettina Rühl. #gesundheit #afrika https://www.riffreporter.de/de/international/afrika-usaid-ende-entwicklungshilfe-klimadaten-hiv-aids-kenia-humanitaere-hilfe
"Under the new strategy, touted as an ambitious overhaul of the way the US provides health assistance throughout the world, American aid will be funneled through a new system of one-on-one agreements with individual countries, rather than distributed through international aid partners and organizations."

Ramaphosa rejects Trump’s claim and insists South Africa stays in G20
Key Points
- Ramaphosa calls Donald Trump’s post regrettable and deeply unhelpful. He defends South Africa’s right to remain in the G20.
- Trump says he will bar South Africa from the 2026 G20. His move also halts some US payments and aid.
- Diplomats warn the dispute could widen regional ties and trade. Observers urge calm and talks to avoid harm.
President Cyril Ramaphosa said the United States’ remarks were regrettable. He defended South Africa’s right to remain a full G20 member.
Image credit:Photo credit: GCIS / ReutersHis statement follows President Donald Trump’s public post Trump bars South Africa from 2026 G20. Ramaphosa said Pretoria will continue to take part in G20 work.
Why Ramaphosa pushed back
Ramaphosa said the G20 summit produced a strong leaders’ declaration. He praised multilateral talks and urged members to work together.
South Africa said it handed over G20 instruments to a US embassy official. The presidency called Donald Trump’s comments based on misinformation and distortions.
Diplomats warned that cutting aid could harm long term projects and partners. Analysts urged direct talks to keep aid and co-operation steady.
What comes next
South Africa will keep pressing for consensus in G20 meetings and forums. Some leaders are already talking, as in Tinubu meets Trump when ready.
Lawyers and parliaments may review any sudden cuts to aid and trade. Ramaphosa said dialogue is the only practical way to calm the row.
For now Pretoria will keep working in G20 groups and committees. The presidency called for facts, calm talks and preserved ties.
Civil society groups asked for independent checks on the farm attack claims. They called for clear evidence before sweeping diplomatic or aid decisions are made.
Business groups warned that sudden aid pauses risk slowing planned investment projects. Some firms said they need steady rules to keep jobs and supply chains safe.
African Union and regional blocs noted that multilateral forums must include all members. They urged restraint and formal channels for any diplomatic complaints.
Ramaphosa plans meetings with regional peers to co-ordinate a common response. He also seeks to keep working ties open with major partners.
The G20 row adds strain to an already tense US-South Africa tie. Both sides still have room to settle differences through talks soon.

USAID shutdown has led to deaths (hsph.harvard.edu)
Gizmodo: White House Hopes to Save Elon From Testifying in DOGE Lawsuit. “The Trump administration is attempting to shield its former DOGE czar, Elon Musk, from having to testify in a legal case involving his work for the ‘government efficiency’ initiative. DOGE has been sued many times over the past year for its efforts to carve up the government, but one of the most longstanding litigation […]
"When global health programs collapse, children are always the first to die—because early detection disappears, treatment pathways break, and ordinary infections become lethal again. Children like Jane Sunday in Kakuma refugee camp, desperately ill in a system that broke down because Elon Musk performed with a chainsaw.
Then he walked away."

April 2011. Edgar Vasquez, a State Department spokesman, said the US State Department had allocated $7.5 million for Syrian regime change purposes, between 2005 and 2010. A cable from the US embassy in Damascus, however, pegged a much higher total, about $12 million. Money was given through Middle East Partnership Initiative, a program that substitutes USAID, in States where this CIA cover is banned.

"The model is conservative, assuming, for example, that the State Department will fully sustain the programs that remain. As of November 5th, it estimated that U.S.A.I.D.’s dismantling has already caused the deaths of six hundred thousand people, two-thirds of them children.
The toll is appalling and will continue to grow."

"We are now witnessing what the historian Richard Rhodes termed 'public man-made death,' which, he observed, has been perhaps the most overlooked cause of mortality in the last century. Brooke Nichols, the Boston University epidemiologist and mathematical modeller, has maintained a respected tracker of current impact."

"Looking back, what was DOGE really all about? Not saving money! Spending and the deficit are both up, and much of DOGE’s claimed savings turned out to be made up entirely. Not efficiency! More than 26,000 of the experts DOGE fired had to be hired right back, sometimes within 24 hours, like when it fired the engineers of America’s nuclear arsenal."

"Although DOGE is gone, its malign legacy endures. Arguably DOGE’s biggest 'achievement' was shutting down the U.S. Agency for International Development. And the dismantling of USAID has left a legacy of death. According to one recent study, closing the agency 'has already caused the deaths of six hundred thousand people, two-thirds of them children.'”
