Jacques Chirac, the French president, claimed Africans will flood the world if more is not done to improve the continents economy. He said that almost half of the 950 million people living on the African continent were under the age of 17, adding that the population would more than double by the middle of the century. If we do not develop Africa, if we do not make available the necessary resources to bring about this development, these people will flood the world.

One must wonder if Chirac even understands that the vast majority of foreign aid to Africa is absorbed by its corrupt governmental infrastructure. Money sent to Africa may as well be burnt for heat at home.

It appears to be taken for granted by the UN that we will sit back, bleed to death and accept all these millions to flood our countries. It is presented like a natural disaster, as if the massive population growth cannot be stopped by the nations in question, and the ensuing migration cannot be limited by Western countries.

Besides the obvious tactic of severely limiting or halting immigration, there are other important measures that could both stem the flood of imigrants and improve life in the Third World.

For many years now I have advocated that pre-pubescent African females be given subdermal implants of long term contraceptives (e.g., Norplant). Breaking young African women free from an endless cycle of pregnancy and frequently fatal child bearing would allow them to pursue careers or higher education. Most importantly, it would stop them from being mired in family life before they even turn twenty years-old.

Slowing population growth would help reduce the impact of famines, diminishing natural resources and the corrupt government infrastructure. This in turn would help break the stranglehold that African males have on the system. The dismal track record of sub-Saharan African men must finally be held to accounts. While the AIDS virus is assisting with this noxious task, too many African women are being forced to pay the price along with the men.

There is a significant element of blackmail here. A group of African leaders told the European Union that they needed to get huge amounts of money to limit mass migration from their countries, which is a tacit admission that they can control this mass movement of people if they want to.

There are many possible alternatives to simply drowning in a flood of foreign immigration. Tyrants like Robert Mugabe have proven the worthlessness of throwing money at these problems to make them go away. Financial aid serves no purpose in such a corrupt environment. New methods like the social engineering I suggest above must be brought into play.

#2 I'm sick of feeling guilty about Africa. I think it's about damn time the Africans did something about Africa.

#3 I think it's about damn time the Africans did something about Africa.

They have:

Leaders of the 14 southern African states which make up SADC refused to condemn Mugabe out of hand

Yet one more reason why Africa swirls gently in the porcelain bowl.

#4 Pious words from the man who oversaw the genocide in Rwanda.

#5 Unless one of three things happens, a massive sustained increase in food aid, Africans learning how to farm, or a miracle, I cannot imagine Africa's population increasing, let along doubling by the middle of the century. The miracle would probably be something along the lines of a return to colonialism, although I doubt if the Europeans are up to it anymore.
