Ugandan activist thanks US for ending USAID handouts to her country

Talk about a breath of fresh air from way across the pond.

A TikTok influencer and activist reportedly from Uganda is standing strong in support of the scrutinization of the USAID. Even though African nations receive billions of U.S. tax dollars, the influence admits there’s obvious corruption and questions why anyone would be opposed to an audit.

“Often the money given to us in foreign aid is lost to corruption, misuse, depleted and overrated salaries to particular individuals. Or sometimes they lose billions of money that are unaccounted for.”

She argued for Africans to have a moment of self-reflection and welcome the audit of a program that is allegedly ripping off both Americans and Africans. While admitting she would likely get a lot of backlash for her stance, she called for Uganda and other African nations to “get themselves together” and start working on self-sustainability rather than depending on foreign aid.

Wow.

DOGE chair Elon Musk was tasked with uncovering government waste and has been outspoken about the financial atrocities allegedly committed by USAID. He also reposted the above video without comment, but plenty of X users were ready to weigh in:
