Looked at USAID for Equatorial Guinea and found a sudden spike in aid for 2015.

Checked neighboring West African nations and found similar spikes in some.

Charts are generic detail, health & population, human services.

But did not specify disaster relief.

Why the sudden 2015 spike in aid? Humanitarian or Pay-offs?

Most spikes in aid were 2015.
