True.

Even a place like Congo is, geographically, the size of Western Europe, with about 1/6th the population. Over population isn't really an issue in sub-saharan africa, conflict is.

> We know people can sustainably live at much higher densities than Africans currently do.

Really? What are some places where people live sustainably at higher densities and at the same scale?

3 people sharing a sustainable farm doesn't count. You also have to account for the cities, which consume vastly more resources and produce vastly more waste.

Cities are almost always wildly more efficient on a per capita basis than rural regions due to economies of scale.

Yet, there are no sustainable cities. They still depend on vast supply chains that flow far outside their borders for resources and waste disposal.

Given the benefit payments offered in certain European countries, why should migration stop at all if you have open borders?

In Greece 86% and in Italy 80% in polls want fewer immigrants allowed into their countries. More than 50% in the United Kingdom and in France plus 47% in Spain agree. How do you deal with this, ignore these voices?

Can't grow enough food at current cultural level, and improving the cultural level is seen as imperialism. Poverty to the point of famine is permanent in Africa.

The creation of educational institutions and accessible healthcare is part of probably every investment deal in large parts if Africa.

The question seems to be wether those deals are crafted with both parties on eye level or wether they are imposed by one party.
