Africa is not rising Africa is plummeting (I'm South African)

Africa will be overpopulated and unable to feed itself in 15 years.

Haha, she's speaking so quickly it's hard for me to keep up :P

Climate change I am sure you have learned is something you should say in a talk. But honestly, the cause is the same as it was back in the 70's when we were headed for another ice age - the shortage of capitalism.

There's so much potential in Africa. Most of the young Africans I have met are faaar beyond smarter than kids I know in my country. They work hard and when I say hard I mean it. They really have to work 10x more when coming to Europe than us who were born here. I come from Finland and what I have seen is a negative trend. People come to study here and would be even eager to work and stay here but instead of giving them a chance to work in this country they hire local people with less motivation and skills. Overall Finnish youngsters are not doing well for our country because of the amount of ignorance and wrong priorities in life. The mindset for success is low and narrow...

Sorry but I lived in west Africa and I know the truth. One truth is that African officials, politicians and warlords never say the truth about Africa, but always spin optimistic distortions. So let's state the truth. The truth is that because of vaccines, health care, and food sources from charities from the west infant mortality is way down and populations are exploding. These reforms were not sought by African leaders themselves, or funded by them with their vast personal fortunes in Swiss banks. All these humanitarian reforms were paid for by foreigners. And with this explosion in population there is no corresponding increase in economic activity. All these new people are unemployed. There is no trade to speak of except for the plunder of natural materials, in which the elites take all the monies and deposit them into their personal accounts. Recently the Chinese have accelerated this because they regularly operate schemes for current officials to borrow on the future value of their country's resources so they will have even more money to deposit in their personal accounts. But all these additional unemployed people are easily diverted into destructive activities. They are easily made into rebel soldiers and rebel armies. They are easily diverted into poaching and massive destruction of habitats and species. There is more and more poverty in Africa all the time, and each day more people enter into poverty there than ever before. That is the fact. And it is hopeless.

Praying for Africa... they will be very great sooner than later
-
African risk capacity..... africans helping africans in meaningful ways..... about time
-
I wish the views could be in the hundred millions, especially in Africa itself. This speech should be on all state TV's in Africa every day.

The world should just cut its losses and move on from Africa. Can't we like.. just build a wall or something? Around the whole damn thing. Keep all the spiders, aids and cannibalism inside and let them work it out by themselves. And if they get their literacy up to 80% or so, they can rejoin the rest of the world.

North (muslim) Africa? South Africa (steady decline)? Black Afrika (over 20 different cultures)?
Africa is still a continent, not a single state.
And, yes, drones (at 1:00min) Africa will be safed by drones. Exactly. -
"you will not win, and we will not be intimidated." A beautiful sentence that should be the mantra throughout the world. Good talk, thank you
-
Great! Thank you
-
great talk
-
Brezit, global warming, commodity driven economies, what is she on? The last TWO years are the problem?
Delusional fantasies and thinking about a drone isn't going to change the continuous decline of Africa.
The problem is backwards primitive culture not Brexit.
