>50,000 children face death by starvation in northern Nigeria

I have limited time on this Earth. I prefer to engage in conversation with other intellectuals. I don't have time to listen and process every single person's opinion on every matter. I have a natural mental filter mechanism, as do you, and every other person in this world. For example, I highly doubt you would engage in a political debate with a deranged lunatic in the streets. So why would I engage with a deranged lunatic on Sup Forums about starvation in northern Nigeria?

Just let nature handle it. The ones that survive will be stronger than the ones that died making Africa a better country

I am a Greek.

You just let them die.
That's nature's way of telling you not to have kids and if you can to start killing who ever is in charge.
All this everybody living to be 100 is an ongoing global disaster.

>implying anyone on Sup Forums is remotely informed about Africa
Anyways, northern Nigeria is currently undergoing a war with Boko Haram, of course there's going to be food shortages. Africa as a whole is generally improving. I could point to numerous examples, like unions in all the neighboring countries of Zimbabwe refusing to unload arms shipments destined for Zimbabwe, increasing interconnectedness and free trade between African economies which is undoing the centralization that colonialism and dictatorships implemented which ruined their economies, the trend towards democracy, etc etc. I know it sounds horrible, but the fact that it's *only* 50,000 children at risk of starvation right now is a huge improvement by African standards.

>All this everybody living to be 100 is an ongoing global disaster.
I don't think western living standards are reachable in the third world unless there is population control like in China.

by not sending them food

I wonder what's going to happen when places like Nigeria and Angola can't produce enough oil to sustain economic growth. Oil price changes were enough to ruin Venezuela. I don't know how oil prices are affecting Nigeria and Angola now.

This is true in general for reasons you're not thinking of. Sending them free food puts African farmers out of business because now they have to sell their product for even cheaper. Right now, western countries guarantee farmers a certain number of sales by buying what they don't sell, sometimes at above market rates, and then giving it away as aid to third world countries. It's great job security for first world farmers, but third world farmers suffer a lot because now they're forced to export their crop at a lower price so even if they do make a profit, it is a slimmer profit than they could have made and so they have a harder time accumulating the capital to modernize their equipment and stuff. It's a horrible cycle. It's the same for a lot of other things too, you donate used clothing to Africa and you put the textile worker out of a job and stuff.

Hopefully it'll be like ripping off a band aid and those countries are forced to diversify their economies in response to low oil prices. That would lead to better long term growth so that they don't become too dependent on a single resource like Venezuela.

you can't, this is the brize of capitalism

Malthusian politics?
That seemed to work okay in India back in the day.

>India

Just irreparably fuck my world up senpai

>Dat saffa dip
Inexcusable.

While the South African government deserves a lot of criticism for how it initially responded to the AIDs crisis, the dip in life expectancy is not what you're thinking it's caused by.

What do I think it's caused by? I was going to say administrative incompetency. They're much better off than those other countries including Botswana in the 1990s.

We stop feeding them so they stop suffering from overpopulation....

>We stop feeding them

kek. You don't.
the aid is like 1% of what's eaten in black africa.

>don't do anything
>only the strongest will survive

Why don't we do this? Everyone wins

Unite 3/4 of Africa under one country implement communism and keep mu muslims at bay

>What do I think it's caused by?
I figured you were some Sup Forumstard who was blaming it on the end of apartheid. I'm not denying the transition from apartheid comes with a lot of problems, I mean the transition from communism in eastern Europe had a lot of problems as well, but that doesn't mean communism/apartheid are superior systems because they're hard to transition from. Anyways, I totally agree that there's administrative incompetency in SA. But no government could have prevented the AIDs crisis/the life expectancy decline that came with it. They could have softened the impact a bit, but AIDs was very lethal back then.

the only 3 african countries with an > 0.7 hdi are muslims lol.

>communism

kek communism ruined a good chunk of Africa

islam is opressive.

Communism in Africa essentially means, "Fuck whitey, Chinese corporations get to exploit us now!". And a lot of them did try socialism after independence, it led to a debt crisis in the 80's where most of Africa stagnated economically.

Not religious wars, not ethnic wars, not shitty economy politics (which causes few starvation waves) and especially not cause what was happening there over last two hundred years.

Because we live in the "what if" alternative timeline in which nazis didnt win the second world war and live under an altered moral system

If we're going to imply correlation = causation...

It's oil here, oviously. But I'm not the one who implied that, the slovak was.

All black africa (and south asia) is shittier because of deep social, historical, political reasons that the pseudo-intellectuals here don't really know, more complex than "niggers xd"

No that means you get rid of the governments implement a one party which would get rid of fighting for power which cripples the whole system.

>Slovene

>With a fleet of more than 500 planes, Air Canada serves over 38 million passengers annually and provides direct passenger service to more than 190 destinations on five continents.
You can tell prime minister Trudeau that's half a day's worth of passengers you could bring back to Canada and save.

>meme microstate n°489465
sorry, can't remember them all.

It takes a government much cleaner than anything in Africa right now to effectively pull off a single party state. Otherwise you'll just end up with the single party dominated by one ethnic group using the party to their advantage, like in China with the Han Chinese oppressing minorities

bad pic of my "bully the small countries" folder.

spearchuckers and mudshits are for your country though :^)
ill stuck with the zhangs.

>I own all of this sand!

And yet you get rude, even though I have no issue saying that I can't name about 1/2 of Africas capitols which I'd say is just fail education.

But imo you're just butthurt cause I implied that Islam could be partly the problem.

>

It's valuable sand, iirc France considered giving northern Algeria where all the people live independence, but keeping the Sahara for themselves.

Did they want to test nukes there?

You forgot to mention that only the circled part is inhabitated while the rest is worthless fucking desert.

the color is supposed to signify the altitude there dummy

And yet, the only three states in Africa with an hdi > 0.7 are islamic, that's what bother me, this stupid meme accusation of islam when it's clearly not related.
I'm not even religious but this focus on islam in unhealthy and the direct consequence of the post-11/09 trauma.
Most of black africa, south america, southeastern Asia is christian and pur shithole, in many aspect worse than islamic world.

there's enough $$$ in this desert to buy your country country every year for 500 years.

fine, I'll bite.
>an Algerian doing a "my country is better than yours"
>a fucking Algerian

size of the country doesn't matter, it's the well being of the people that do. enjoy ISIS occupation in 5 years

>algeria making the fat cash with their sand

fucking kek'd

Well mate I did say 3/4 of Africa I would exclude northern part and South Africa, mainly thinking of sub Saharan Africa which is the really problematic part.

I was mainly thinking of sub Saharan Africa, which imo is the really problematic part, that's why I said 3/4 of it.
I would exclude northern part of it.

I actually wasn't even thinking of the thin north african coast or the thin coast of the nile river when I made this thread. I don't think north africa will be at a risk of starving. Their population isn't exploding at the same rate as say Nigeria and they exist in a completely different reality.

Well also about ''Whites out, Chinese in'', I mean that would kick everyone out and make a stated owned oil company.
I do think that it wouldn't be possible without a strong militarised government just cause of the reason to keep all the ethnic groups at bay and keep them together, the sheer diversity of them makes for a hotbed for various wars, I have no idea how else could one stop all the fighting.

We don't
