I agree, as that money is intended to go towards structural reforms, in the end line aimed at improving living standards but we all know that a good portion of it is lost to corruption, especially in such regimes.

Witholding such funds does feel like blackmail but it’s the regimes holding the hostages and I do think dealing with crooks tends to produce poor results.

At this point, we can be happy one change has happened. Let’s remain vigilant.
