Episode Details

The UK just slashed aid to Malawi by 90%, dropping support from £50 million to just £5 million by 2028—claiming it’s to boost defense, but while global security matters, this move feels especially cruel amid a 52% drop in overall African aid. For Malawi’s 23 million people, most living in extreme poverty and battling climate disasters, this means fertilizer, fuel, and vital programs for women’s health, girls’ education, and disaster relief are at risk. On the ground, people fear more hunger, less healthcare, and lives lost. Even former military leaders warn cutting aid to fund defense could make us weaker. With a new Prime Minister focused on domestic priorities, the question now is whether they’ll reverse this decision—because Malawi, a steadfast ally since independence, deserves more than empty promises.
