Europe has lived beyond its means for centuries, partly thanks to stolen & undervalued resources from Africa. Populationism stems from replacement & resource anxieties & only leads down a violent policy path of pop control & hard borders which women of colour suffer the most.
By the end of the century, Africa will be home to 40% of the world’s population – and nowhere is this breakneck-pace development happening faster than this 600-mile stretch between Abidjan and Lagos. This piece by Howard W. French is really eye-opening.
