This sums up what happened in Africa

This brings us back to my point about Africa suffering from excessive population growth. This is partly due to the 5 stage development cycle, but also certainly due in large part to catholic missionaries... they 'converted' the African population as part of the colonialist drive to establish control... and of course the catholic church bans contraception. The refusal due to western indoctrination to use contraception leads directly to a population increase, which in many cases these countries can't support... which in turn contributes to poverty, malnutrition and starvation. The pope and the catholic church are responsible for a huge amount of suffering on the African continent.

tribal africa always had high birth rates. .. but also high deathrates. hense the need for high birth to counter the deaths.
this was not about democracy. this was about modern medicine.. or lack there of
yes modern medicine allowed for a better survival rate. meaning population explosion as the birth:death ratio became unbalanced. but again not democracy.. but instead modern medicine

next came the foreign democracy. this put up borders to stop africans migrating out of africa. while africa internally lacked democracy to negotiate its way to freedom
yes africa still lacked democracy
so the lack of emigration out of africa added more 'growth' to the populous due to no escape to dilute it down

next came the influx of american/european nations colonising and displacing africans. leading to the houses:population being pushed to its limits where it became a crises

then came the colonial expansion of more displacements and then the land grabs and the political control from the colonials. and the the coups trying to fight back to get land back.
which has occured many times now . same game different face.

then came the african democracy. but still fighting over who should be leader of regions. who has the peoples voice. who has been corrupted by western greed.. more coups. more fights
