    Africa went from a population of 228 million in 1950, to 1460 million in 2023.

    There is no food shortage. If they have sufficient food for 1095 million people they have way more food available than Europe with its 742 million inhabitants.

    Politics on the continent is the central issue. Not how other continents can give more free food which stimulates further population growth.

    It’s not colonization of the continent fra fucked it up till today. Other nations on different continents have made it just fine. Multiple times. Even Norway was under a 400 year occupation by Denmark.

      Ah yes, that notorious occupation where Denmark systematically raped and murdered all those Norwegians, installed a corporate kleptocracy to ransack their natural resources for the profit of people half a globe away, and then spent the next 400 years funding coups and dictators to maintain that corporate control.

      I don’t understand the level of ignorance required to even begin to pretend like these were equivalent situations.
