UK aid cuts ‘reduce bilateral support to some African countries by 90%’

The UK government makes a big cut in its help, also called aid, to other countries. This aid helps African countries. Now, some African countries get much less help from the UK. The help, or support, they get is 90% less for some.

The Foreign Office has numbers, or figures, that show this. These figures are in a report. The report tells how much less money different countries will get. This change will last for the next three years. It means less help for important projects in these countries.

People who do not agree with these cuts say it sends a bad message. They think it shows what the UK wants to do in the world. They worry about the UK's role on the international stage. This decision by the Labour party means less money for many African nations that depend on this help.
