Development assistance should be priotized over miltia aid in Sahel

I will be going through the main points of this round which are: 1. terrorism/security/corruption/stability 2. agriculture 3. human right abuses. 1. To start on the first main point of terrorism, my opponent says that I have failed to show how developmental aid will solve, but if you would look at the last round you will see that I talk about how terrorism is caused by poverty, hunger and famine which in my second point clearly states developmental aid will solve for and my opponent has specifically stated that he agrees developmental aid will solve for. Also my opponent tries to talk about how he will be using the training method, although how will he get the people to train if they are all starving, with 3,600,000 people starving and 18.4 million with unstable food sources shows they will not have the money to go into training, and if my opponent tries to advocate that the training will be free you will have to see that the people with unstable food sources will not have the time to do the training since they will use all of their time trying to get money for food any way possible which in most cases is terrorism, drug trafficking or other illegal means. With developmental aid we will solve solve the starvation problem first and solve terrorism and other illegal means from the inside instead of attacking from the outside and hoping they will not recover. Onto security, my opponent tried to advocate that cameras will not stop the problem since they have the lack of police, but considering developmental aid solves for all of the illegal means my opponent advocates security will not be as important. Onto corruption, my opponent bring up how developmental aid didn't work in Middle East countries in the past, the problem with his statement with that is that we are not currently debating the Middle East, we are debating the Sahel region. With South Sudan which has been a country in the Sahel region since 2011 we see that when the world provided them with training and weapons instead of using them for security they used them to attack civilians which ended up causing a civil war. When my opponent tries to advocate that training will solve security and stability and corruption, you have to see that military aid has empirically proven in the SAHEL REGION to cause insecure, unstable and corrupt countries without the use of developmental aid first. 2. Onto the second main point of the round which is agriculture, I somewhat covered this in my last point which my opponent has agreed that developmental aid solves for. We need to solve for hunger before we try to train police so we can have police to train in the first place! or at least a good amount of police. 3. Lastly, human right violations, my partner tries to bring up that all of my examples are from the U.S. except he failed to read the one example from the UN, also other countries such as Uganda and Kenya have a history of committing human rights abuses in the Sahel Region through the use of military aid fcnl.org/resources/newsletter/julaug13/us_aid_to_africa_the_militarys_outsized_role/ Although it is not the EU we have to see that when the United States, The United Nations, Uganda and Kenya used some form of military aid to the Sahel Region, human rights violations were committed, so why would the European Union be any different? My opponent claims to solve for child soldiers, but those human right violations are not the majority of human rights violations. As the round stands on terrorism I have shown that in order to eliminate terrorism permanently we must attack it from the inside with solving for poverty, hunger and famine. On security, there will not be enough people to train to become police officers since they don't have the time or money. On corruption/stability, it has been empirically proven in South Sudan that military training/aid will only cause a more unstable country to begin with. On agriculture my opponent agrees that developmental aid will solve for 3,600,000 people that are currently starving and the 18.4 million people with unstable food sources. On human rights, it has been empirically proven with the UN, US, Uganda and Kenya (I can list more if necessary) that human rights violations were committed with any form of military aid without developmental aid first.
