and Corporate Sustained Catastrophe by Keith Harmon Snow
Affleck’s independence didn’t last long. Before his December 2008 deal with
UNHCR, Affleck signed on with Save the Children, a Connecticut based corporate
enterprise whose massive profits earned from the chaos of war and suffering in
Africa have been sufficiently documented.
In May 2008, Ben Affleck visited
with former child soldiers, as part of Save the Children’s global Rewrite the
Future campaign. According to Save the Children PR, the campaign “helps to
provide quality education” to children in conflict countries, such as kids in
Goma, DRC.
Can
anyone honestly provide a single example of ‘quality education’ available to
children in all of Congo?24
White westerners think that a dilapidated cement shell with a tin roof and some
wooden benches qualifies as ‘education’ of a higher standard in Africa.
More importantly, Save the
Children’s sponsors include Starbucks and Credit Suisse, two multinational
corporations that are deeply enmeshed in the geopolitical plunder of Central
Africa. However, such relationships between corporate ‘donors’ and so-called
‘non-government’ organizations (NGOs) billed as apolitical humanitarian
charities are obscured by the propaganda of white power interests and the
obliviousness of its beneficiaries, like Ben Affleck.
President Paul Kagame gave a
corporate endorsement at Starbuck’s annual shareholder meeting in Seattle in
March 2007. “Starbucks and Rwanda are extended family, very closely linked by
the business we do together and the passion we share,” Kagame said.
