If every developed country has been giving money to establish food security and economic stability in Africa, for 40 or 50 years, then why hasn't it worked yet?
It is working, even in the face of climate change and regional wars sparked by competing Western interests. I might add that many of those people whose culture you despise are Catholics, and the biggest single recipient of USAID money was Catholic Relief Services, who were running some seriously effective development programs with it.

Which Western countries are causing the most problems over there, and what's the story? Most people are probably unfamiliar with why you're blaming some Western countries.

Not countries, companies. Excluding oil and mineral exploitation, probably Cargill is the worst offender.

Some report that Cargill is evil while others indicate something else.

In case you didn’t know, our pets rely on us for their every need. How incredibly unkind it is to ridicule someone for caring for their pets in a proper manner.
How is it possible to misconstrue such as simple point as was being made? Really, how did you manage to do that?
...In the meantime, we have grown adults around the world who lack the capacity to produce a fruitful culture/ society.

You tell me who's in the wrong.
You are. Without any doubt whatsoever.
