Solidarity, Not Aid
There are those in the developed world who try to salve their conscience by throwing a few dollars to the South for charity. But there are also a few who make a sincere effort to distinguish between just and unjust policies towards the developing countries. These socially conscious and sensitive persons in the developed countries have an important role to play in the battle against poverty and deprivation in the developing world.
The well-wishers of the North must make the distinction between governments which in broad terms are likely to adopt policies and programmes to check existing deprivations and injustices, and others that strive to maintain the status quo, or even aggravate existing inequities.
