Sub-Saharan African population will triple by 2050

Sub-Sahara Africans are reproducing faster than they can produce wealth, it’s because the Blacks cannot control their sexual envies.

The Blacks do not think about the consequences of overpopulation, their sustainability is cause for concern, since they often seek the help of white nations, and with the Politically Incorrect mentality in our Western world, it would be inappropriate to tell them to stop making too many kids, somehow the White people will be obliged to pay them, the fraudulent scheme of not helping Africa would be “racist”.

Africans should start employing the one child policy like China, because there is not so much space left on Earth for everyone. The Black Africans should take their own destiny in their hand and stop blaming the white for all their failures !

Sub-Saharan Africa: the population emergency

Sub-Saharan Africa has been experiencing phenomenal population growth since the beginning of the XXth Century, following several centuries of population stagnation attributable to the slave trade and colonization. The region’s population in fact increased from 100 million in 1900 to 770 million in 2005. The latest United Nations projections, published in March 2007, envisaged a figure of 1.5 to 2 billion inhabitants being reached between the present and 2050.

The report of a demographic study, coordinated by the Centre Population et Développement (CEPED), commissioned by the Agence Française de Développement (AFD), was published recently. The work was performed by a joint team involving scientists from the IRD and specialist academics from Belgium, Cameroon, France and the Ivory Coast (2). They examined the recent and projected future population trends in Sub-Saharan Africa and the relationships between these tendencies and the development of the region. This review effectively demolished some generally accepted ideas, in particular the one that Sub-Saharan Africa is underpopulated.

Today, two out of three inhabitants of this large region of Africa are under 25 years of age (twice the number prevailing in Europe) and, with 32 inhabitants per km2, Sub-Saharan Africa is more densely populated on average than Latin America (28 inhabitants/km2). And although two-thirds of its population still live in rural areas, massive migration to the towns and cities is under way. Thus, whereas in 1960, just one city, Johannesburg, had a population of over one million, Africa now has about 40 of them. At the present rate of rural exodus, half Sub-Saharan Africa’s population would be urban dwellers by 2030. This transition should be met by huge investments in construction of new infrastructures, wastewater drainage and treatment and refuse reprocessing in the great agglomerations, whose management threatens to become more and more problematic. Intra-regional migration, another safety valve for relieving the ongoing densification of the rural sphere, is severely disrupted by the conflicts and crises affecting several host countries. The possibilities for emigration to industrialized countries are increasingly subject to control and are more difficult, particularly for the migration candidates with few qualifications. Moreover, the risks of population decrease linked to Aids appear to be receding. This factor stems especially from more effective prevention campaigns and improved access to health care. The latest UNAIDS assessments made using more reliable data brought the proportion of the African population infected by HIV to a lower figure, now put at about 5%. No country should therefore see its population decrease owing simply to the Aids epidemic.

A parallel factor at work is fecundity, equal to or higher than 5 children per woman. This is two to three times higher as in the rest of the world, an important factor being that four out of five African women live in countries where there is little access to contraception. Indeed less than 20% of women use modern contraceptive methods, as against 60% or more in Latin America and Asia. The fact that the use of contraception is progressing very slowly contributes to the strong population growth. Yet the control by women and couples over their fecundity remains the essential lever by which Sub-Saharan Africa might achieve its demographic transition. However, campaigns promoting the balanced family such as those successfully run in other developing countries (Bangladesh, Jamaica for instance) have never really been implemented in Sub-Saharan Africa. Thus, whereas the overall demographic trend points towards a stabilization of world population, that of Africa is continuing on a substantial rise. Sub-Saharan Africa remains the world’s least advanced region in terms of the move towards demographic transition. The area is also behind in the development process. In 2004 for example, only six countries out of 48 obtained a growth rate equal to or greater than 7%, the threshold considered essential for achieving the first MDO–in other words the halving of poverty between now and 2015.

The prime effect of this exceptional, continuing population growth in Sub-Saharan Africa is its role as a major handicap to economic and social development of most of the region’s countries. The conclusion from the research is that if the African nations want to take up the double challenge of their demographic transition and reduction of their poverty, development policies must be completely rethought. It is by the adoption and implementation of policies hinged on combined actions–involving education, prevention of mortality, equitable access to health care and to family planning–that changes bringing advances and improved living standards could be generated in Sub-Saharan Africa. This perspective makes it imperative to place the population question, one of the crucial issues for the future of most of the countries concerned, at the core of their development policies.

  1. :-x seriously??? THAT IS RACISM. “Blacks cannot control their sexual urges.” That’s totally false. The reason of this overpopulation is that they aren’t educated enough to truly realize the problems that come with overpopulation, and their ignorance is not their fault. They, as a region, are really poor, and many cannot afford to get educated, instead having to work. You cannot blame it on them. As a planet, we, fortunate enough to be educated, should help with them, if not with food, than with knowledge, which is key to success.

  2. :roll: Janet, that will only happen in your imagination you can’t be that stupid.

    Get Real, if any race population is shrinking the fastest its the white population. America is expected to be over 70% colored by 2070 same with Europe too while Africa and Asia are expected to double in population as well as in GDP growth and industries. If you theory is true about blacks being “superior” then why are they preforming so poorly and are so behind despite the recent economic growth? What is holding them back from achivement and wealth?

  3. the truth is we fear the dominant and strong race of the world, the whites are indeed minority in the world, we therefore are protecting our future…. but the real truth is that we white originated from africa to begin with. we fear the black genes which is stronger. there are actually smarter than us, my father is a top US scientist, he told me this in convindence,we are shit scared of their capacity

  4. Leave afrikans alone,they should solve their own problems and they do not need our interference.So:no food,no medicine,no foreign aid.In Africa they can harvest 3 times a year-imagine 3 harvests in Europe,we would all be rich.We don’t owe them anything,but they owe us plenty.And if they won’t solve their problems,who cares,nature will help in it’s own way.

    • :-x :-x :-x I’m sorry, Ivan the Terrible, but what you’re saying is completely wrong. It was Europe that stopped Africa’s nomadic ways and made them farm, resulting in overgrazing and desertification. Europe is the one that should be helping the poverty-stricken nation, and help is always accepted. Help them, and they will thrive.

  5. There is only one way for whites to help blacks in sub saharan africa. Simply stop sending them anymore food. Since they are quite literally unable to think their way out of problems they create for themselves, they should be left alone to rot. IN A few years the place will be empty. `

    • i totally agree, the population cannot be managed, we must act fast and reduce the population to zero, non profit sector are not doing well, we should inject AIDS ,cancer , create more conditions for starvation,war and famine. We should not send them any more aid.

      perhaps by 2050, africa will be empty like my friend said, perhaps we americans can make africa our next continent; it could be a white only continent too, and then we can target arabia and asia too. we can a world that is only white.
