When it comes to the basic problem of population explosion in Africa (some countries can expect their population to increase by more than 120 percent in the next forty years; no kidding!), it must be very obvious that this is a problem that the Africans themselves must come to terms with, and start dealing with, before the natural and social environments of theirs deteriorate to the point at which the only thing that can possibly ensue is one terrible era of urban pollution, countryside deforestation and desertification, food scarcity (hunger), water scarcity (thirst), conflicts over land (civil wars, genocide), etc., etc., etc. I mean: I am not afraid of being called a racist now that I am simply pointing out that Africans, in particular, are up against problems of such magnitude that it is absolutely imperative that they all woke up and faced the music.
