Humanitarian Crisis Endangering Twenty Million Lives Over The Coming Months

Africa would get our attention if China started moving more troops into the area.

This is a sad continuation of a problem the world has continued to overlook but if we don't get global overpopulation under control, this will be the case on every continent. We are currently on track to hit over 11 billion people by 2100 with climate change factors kicking in a steady but worsening situation for food production. That is the big problem here, Africa is a major example of it in the here and now. Meanwhile, the latest cat pictures on FB, Twitter, etc...

It's nothing to do with overpopulation.

Overpopulation is not the source of the problem, but if the population of Africa goes from 1 billion to 4 billion this century that would be 4x the amount of aid effort required to solve everything, ignoring all other effects (in reality it would probably be more than 4x due to the additional strain on the African environment).

Instead of aid, why not let them earn their own sustenance by, in effect, making stuff for us that we pay with using fiat "money" that we just print out willy nilly? Oh wait... "nationalism." Aid it is!
