The African Population Boom of the 21st Century

Horrid news. Someone educate them on birth control before they breed themselves to death.

This boom is why we need open borders.

That's going to be popular with the European countries all right.

But you do bring up an interesting point. Of all the places in the world, Africa itself may be the one place where open borders are perhaps necessary. Mostly out of sheer necessity, with all the refugee flows and weak states' inability to secure borders and whatnot. But also because compared to Eurasia and even the Americas, national identities aren't as deeply embedded in the popular psyche. Most states in Africa are artificial constructs created by colonial powers that do not line up with ethnic groupings, which is why you often see such groups divided by borders.

I agree. Ultimately, however, I mean globally. North America and Europe can handle an extra billion people much more easily than Africa or the Indian Subcontinent.

I’m not paying for or accommodating anybody just because some politicians in a country I don’t care about are too religious or plain ignorant to allow widespread birth control and abortion.

If the Third World wants to get an ounce of sympathy, they can start with birth control.

The population growth will slow down once these countries get richer, it's known that poor countries' people have more children.

Saudi Arabia and its 2.8 Fertility Rate says hi.

To those who think fertility is declining fast in Africa ... they are wrong.

As I have posted in my Global Census thread, recent census results from major African countries actually suggest that growth has picked up speed, not declined.

Virtually all African countries are growing by about 3% or even more than that - which will put a huge burden on the biosphere that is already getting destroyed heavily there.

Even the Arab countries in the North of Africa, which had declining growth rates between 1980 and 2005, are now experiencing significantly higher fertility rates and growth than before - mostly because of the spread of Islamism and its backwards ideology - sponsored by Saudi-Arabia.

Also, Africa is different than other poor regions on the planet where fertility has been falling: Most African men and women think it is desireable to have large families with 6-10 children, so the estimates shown in the OP are likely being correct.

This will be a huge disaster for the continent and the people there, biosphere and animals - but also for Europe, because it is likely that large impoverished masses will swamp the continent later on.

Absolutely sickening, they are literally bringing death upon themselves.

Malthusian eugenicists showing their true colors in this thread.

If you want people to not have a lot of children, how about not letting them live in poverty because they're black?

I'd rather pay for their birth control than pay for their imprisonment/war clean-up efforts.

There simply is not enough resources in the world to take care of everyone. Best to just deal with one's own country and curb population on those who can't deal. I don't understand Scarlet and other liberals' love affair with overpopulation.

They're poor because of rich white countries anyway.

Because Thailand, Saudi Arabia, Afghanistan, and Nepal are such shining examples of uncolonised nations. Point taken, but then you prolly love Saudi Arabia, there's that.

The fact that you classify Ethiopia as West Africa...I can’t even. Leave it to you to fudge geographic facts in the name of hating on Western Society.

Furthermore, Singapore, Macau, Hong Kong, and Taiwan say hi. All colonised, all hugely successful in their own right, and all have higher GDP per Capita (PPP) than Japan.
