Agree.
There is a solution, which is called education.
You don't save people by giving food alone. That will save a generation but the problem will come back even worst the next. The only way to change things in Africa is invest in there, and educate in mass scale.

The events in the past can be used as data to choose the right way for future events.Sometimes we may make some trends or draw graphs by the way it becomes easier to see our dim,blurred future.the analitical study for future can just be appreciated.I can not tend to view life negatively because of the belief in my heart although the facts seem to be certain about bad results.Expection the worst reduces the motivational manners.In my opinion(actually not mine) the hopefulness can be extracted just from a tiny particle.
A dark room can be brightened by a small touch to a button. It is similar to this in our universe .We should just find the point to cure our problems( like population growth& food).To get "The formula" for such problems, God wills us to be there in true place and at the true time. All systems are standing to put forward their fruits for mankind,just keep your hopefulness and curiousity.

Here it is an analysis about the causes of Africa's crisis and the sad future of that continent. However, no matter the present is a real large scale disaster, that article has the merit to propose some sound solutions.
Some quotes from the article. the remarks come in the article:
THE FUTURE OF AFRICA
The future of Africa is a nightmare. Along the years, Sub-Saharan Africa has grown in population and decreased in wealth. With 751 million inhabitants, its Gross National income (GNI) only attains 415 $Billion in 2004! The population is expected to reach 1,320 million and the GNI 700 $Billion in 2030. In fact, without South Africa, the income per capita only attains $350 in 2004 and could fall to 290 in 2030!
These statistics are not astonishing. More than 14 countries are confronted with external or internal wars. It's ridiculous to speak about development while twenty percent of the population is afflicted by violent conflicts. As a result, the populations are awaiting their salvation from Western countries. They expect that the Free World could bring peace and progress in removing the African dictatorships.
It is impossible to understand the causes of this situation as long as you do not take in account the African magic background. In global history, we have divided the mankind history into three ages: The primitive society, the authoritarian society and finally the liberal society. The originality of Africa is that the primitive society has not disappeared. Moreover, our survey takes also notice of three objectives causes: The slave trade, the Congress of Berlin and the marxist influence. Consequently, the cure would include four actions: Overthrow the dictatorships, Build up a federalist process, Implement the global learning system and establish a great free economic zone.

People, let's get this conversation back on track: we are not debating religion nor evolution, but rather questions of demographics and population growth.

You are wrong in two ways.
1-You haven`t got any support or any evidence to explain the First force in the universe , that`s why you repetedly cry out "No God", what was it ? Was it you ,ordered the atoms to make up this perfect universe with unbelivable equilibrium and balances .
2-Your second and much more remarkable mismeasurement is that, you are incapable of comparing the importance of "being human" and "God`s position" relatively.Religions are offerings to call the people to the justice.That means human being is dominant,and master over all the other things in universe to whom is given the greatest importance.As a Human being,a person has both the alternatives to be in fair and unfair.We are free to choose.It doesn`t mean that God is passive and doing nothing.The continuity of all systems are standing with the manifestation of God to eliminate the good ones and bad ones.

The fact some people take refuge in faith to isolated themselves from the real world doesn't change reality either.

God, if ever exist, respects free will. This world is not for zombies or robots, or people waiting for a better life after death, but for people that change reality for good, either they believe in God or not.

Of course heart is an important aspect of life. However, I don't accept the hypocresy of certain religious saint people -as you can see in certain Indian temples and also in third world's Catholic churches- that preach wonderful worlds in theory, but that do nothing for the beggars that are hungry at the doors of theirs temples.

Nope. We weren't talking about flights or the Wright brothers. We were talking that earth was infinite, and that it will always feed people. That's an absurd idea that has no base on reality, but only in certain supernatural fantasies.

That sounds like a speech from the hippie times.
You very well know, the reality is otherwise. Well, but at least you both are happy people. Innocent and happy.
Just let people in touch with reality resolve the problems that exist in the real world.

That's religion. During thousand of years religions have tried of changing man and have achieved nothing.
Just solve the real problems in practical ways. That's a lot more humanitarian that dream on paradyses that will be reach only after dead.

Seko. I don't think I am denigrating Africa at all. I am afraid people in the world is not concient about the sufering that's going on already in that continent, fuelled by irresponsibility both local and international. And I am afraid idealist peoples with sweet dreams just contribute to make matters worst.
Africa needs education, medicine and development. It need economical growth. But that won't happens without stopping theirs population explosion, and changing theirs traditions and habits.
