Foreign aid, tourism, settlements and commercial development in Africa have caused problems all along. After Boers settled in South Africa over 200 years ago, native Africans moved down, a few at first, then increasingly more afterwards, from central Africa.
Their ways of life were radically altered, bringing them little by little, to what we see there today: much larger conflicts, extreme poverty, etc. There are now over 1.3 billion people in Africa, and the land of the continent cannot sustain them all through normal, natural, periodical changes in the earth and climate (droughts, ruined natural resources, etc.).
So now people there are flooding out into other countries, including many of Africa’s best and brightest. It’ time to decouple and mind our own business whenever feasible.
The women in Africa have about 20 kids each. In the past, mother nature kept the population in check through disease and famine (of the 20 kids, about 17 would die before reproductive age). Then in the 1980, Bleeding Heart Liberals sought to save the these people (Do they know it's Christmas?)
After 30-35 years of feeding and healing these people, there has been a population explosion. Most children survive to adulthood.
But now there is now enough food to feed them all, and no jobs. So, what to they do? Emigrate to Europe and America.
Was the compassion worth it?
