This was the intended use for those funds.



This is an astonishing allegation. Can you substantiate any of it?


So USAID was aiding foreign states in strategically stealing land from its citizens? That was the goal of the program?


They didn't call it stealing, but yes. Google "Kenyan land seizure" for plenty of articles about it. The Kenyan government was particularly interested in Ogiek land, but it wasn't limited to them. It isn't much of a secret at this point. Kenya is by no means unique, USAID funds many such programs around the world. Or at least did.
