Starving Africans can always fall back on the Rhodesia model.

Back in the bad old days, before the racial enlightenment when white Rhodesian farmers were slaughtered and their land was confiscated, white farmeras grew and exported so much food the country was called “The Breadbasket of Africa”.

When the blacks took over they changed the name from Rhodesia to Zimbabwe and they changed the country from “The Breadbasket of Africa” to “The Basket Case of Africa”.

But the situation is not static.
They actually produce less and less every year.

So now the country is another liberal success story - sort of like Detroit and Washington, DC, only bigger and further away.

The basic problem of Africa is that the market value of the average African's productivity has become less than the cost of feeding them, and the first world has run out of spare cash to subsidize them due to our own experiments with socialism.

The world can no longer afford to feed the unskilled.
