Wait, don’t publish the names of the countries! Otherwise Nestlé and Coca-Cola won’t be able to contain themselves, move there and make the problem even worse.

Water demand in sub-Saharan Africa is growing faster than any other region on Earth, and by 2050 it is predicted to rise by 163 percent. That’s four times faster than Latin America, which is the second-highest at a predicted water demand increase of 43 percent.

And how are these sub-Saharan African nations responding? With sky high fertility rates. Nigeria currently welcomes five million new babies every single year. In a nation in which a significant proportion doesn’t currently have access to running water, indoor plumbing, and even electricity. It’s insanity, and there’s literally nothing the West can do to prevent this train from colliding with impending famine. Education is inversely correlated with fertility rates, but these nations are having 35 million babies every single year. Even if we transport every single teacher in the the whole of Europe to Africa, it wouldn’t be enough. We send thousands of tonnes of food aid every year, which only seems to exacerbate the problem. It has also destroyed local food production. Farmers can’t compete with free.

It’s just one huge clusterfuck. The inevitable result is going to be mass starvation. Europe cannot integrate a billion people from sub-Saharan Africa. It can barely accommodate the millions of Syrian refugees. Action needs to be taken now to curb population growth before it’s too late, but it needs to come from within.
