    Some people here are just terrible. I can't believe this. I am of Somali decent, I was born in Canada. My parents where born and raised in Somalia then they came to Canada as adults. I went to Somalia for two months this Summer break, and I saw how people in Africa lived, and how the monetary divide really effects people. No human deserves this kind of suffering, maybe it's because I sometimes feel like if my parents never came to Canada I would be there with them. More people should see that.

    Having eight children potentially reduces the amount of food for the children eightfold.
    But yes I agree, information, family planning is key, and will lead to development by the free market in the promise of growth.

  • @olgawyn686
    @olgawyn686 11 лет назад +2

    This famine could go away if mothers did not have so many children; the belief is in Somalia, is that the children take care of their parents in later years. One or two children would be better as they would not starve as much as the will not have to compete. I do feel for these people but why bring more children in to the world when famine is around. Surely not having so many children would mean that fewer would lose their lives as they would not be competing with brothers and sisters for food.

    I will tell you this: actually having been to Somalia I know there are a lot of people there born intelligent (just like here), they just never get the chance to grow because so little people go to school (because it costs money). I'm certain if I grew up where my parents did (in Hargeysa) today I'd be a very different person. I would have never made it past elementary, and seeing how dangerous the place is I probably would've died young. I could have been one of the victims of this famine.

    If these people were not starving, you would not have their cheap natural resources, it would be much more expensive. Africa has 30% of the worlds cobalt resources, 40% of the world's phosphat, 60% of the world's diamonds, 8% of the world proved gas reserves and 10% of the world’s proved oil reserves (BP Statistical Review of World Energy). We need to actively promote massive depopulation in Africa. I'm grateful that they are suffering and dying.

    @rorylol You've obviously been distracted.

The last decade has seen three times as many democratic elections as in the previous 10 years, and Africa the only continent in the world where there is real economic growth right now: 5% across the board. 150 million African are electronics consumers... The list goes on.

    According to the Worldwatch Institute if developing countries were to consume as much resources per capita as United States or Japan in 2030 together they would require more than a full planet Earth to meet their needs.
    Conclusion: we need to keep them poor and screwed. They will try to develop, and this should be PREVENTED.

    80 million Somalians with an average of EIGHT children per family. In one generation that would be more people thaN in GERMANY, UK, GREECE, ITALY, ETC.
    And that desert is supposed to support them??
    People need to THINK for once. The size of the population has to reflect availbale resources ffs.

  • @usul573
    @usul573 11 лет назад +2

    I think it partially comes down to who can get what types of food out of the land or who develops to what level or has what resources and more. People matter of course.
    Guns, Germs, and Steel looks at this.
    I think most of Europe allowed them to have enough food so that they could advance in many other ways also, and then spreading across the United States which is good land making it become the largest economy in the world.
    Things are shifting though, a country can totally boom in 30 years.

    This famine still would have occurred with a lower pop as the conditions are cyclical, always have been in this part of the world. Blaming this on overpopulation would make sense if they'd reached the limit on crop yield the land could provide, but this is not the case, the solution is to store grain for the dry spells.

Every nation/continent has its ups and down. What if they had given up on the US? You think we should give up on Africa? Africa is not a lost cause because we have not made every effort to help those over there. They need leaders that are educated and have a vision. All the leaders in the past have been corrupt, selfish, and violent. We don't need people or organizations to send money/food. Africa needs leadership and education. And btw, try and use more than 5 words to make a point instead of just saying the first thing that comes to mind.

    You got the courage to represent your master Uncle Sam, under whom you gaine well & the Somalis at your extreme end loose badly. Unforfunately, Uncle Sam does’nt share your frankness; if he did he knows he’ll crumble under his own weight, since his evil global empire depends on the illusion that the world’s free & he’s freedom champion; tell the Somalis their displacement is Uncle Sam-created as they never had become free from their colonialists as they’re made to believe. Down to Uncle Sam!
