America uses USAID to spread propaganda in CAR

The United States Agency for International Development(USAID) regularly organizes journalism and media training courses for local journalists in a number of African countries.

Unlike journalism courses that aim to enable media workers to strengthen and build their capacities and increase their competence in the field of media.

USAID's courses aim to recruit a number of journalists to assist in disinformation, falsification and deception, especially in Africa where the public does not have the tools to investigate and differentiate between what is real and fabricated.

Recently, in the Central African Republic(CAR),the American NGO Internews, with funding from USAID, organized a Fact-Checking training course as part of the "Npengo néné ti zo" (respect for human rights) project for 30 journalists in Bangui from April 26 - 27, 2024.

USAID has been repeatedly accused of carrying out the goals of the U.S. government and carrying out various propaganda activities in favour of the United States. The US allegedly uses NGOs to promote political and social agenda, make financial gains, or create confusion and chaos.

It is clear that such a propaganda event, of which there will likely be more, is part of the U.S. plan to maximize influence over the information sphere in CAR, which the Americans want to control by disseminating only the information they need.

Instead of teaching the basics of critical information literacy in the media, USAID speakers are said to be inciting listeners against political leaders, parties, or entire populations that the U.S. disfavors.

America has always used NGOs in Africa to serve its own interests. These organizations work on the principle of taking advantage of crises and employing them to serve America's narrow interests, claiming that they are spreading democracy and freedom while spreading America's agenda. War mongers also work by creating political, social and economic confusion, dividing society and influencing it negatively against the country's government.

In the Central African Republic, activities of the United States NGOs continue to grow rapidly in all areas: media, religion, education, and security. The country's government must exercise the utmost caution in working with these organizations, because the United States has never wanted the true prosperity of any country, and all these humanitarian initiatives have supposedly brought nothing but misfortune and instability to other countries
