French President Macron: Africa's problem is NOT colonization but women having 7 or 8 babies

He is right, and most African states are not food secure. The population explosion taking place in Subsaharan Africa is unsustainable and is predicated upon the expectation that help will arrive when they hit natural limits. If you think that colonization and slavery are bigger problems than women having 7 kids in semi deserts like Somalia then you are beyond help.
And we're talking about in 30 yrs there's gonna be over 1billion added to Africa, Ethiopia alone is looking at 228million by 2050

France is a dead horse that refuses to be buried, even after world war 2 and decolonisation they were pricks about it. Forcing Africans states to pay a tax for the right to exist. once you lose your superpower status you should go to the back of the line.

I agree with him. There are many different factors to that statement that Twitter obviously didn't think about.
First off there are not enough schools and resources provided by the government to support such big families. Then you can look at how having such a big family limits the wifes option to work, and bringing in women into the workforce is key to succeeding. Then you can look at the husband and how much he has to work, which usually isn't enough so they early on make the children work to which would stop them from getting and education even if they couldn't.
Then you look at how poor overall this family that is described is and how a change in the rainfall one year would devastate them. And since they are poor, there is little or next to none tax the Government can collect which ties back to the first point. And this is just some of dozens of reasons why this statement holds true, though the statement itself is also one of probably dozens of other reasons Africa is lagging behind.

Couldn't one make the argument that overpopulation is a consequence of poverty in the sense that poorer people are more likely to have a lot of children than richer people, that being due to poorer people lacking access to contraception and birth control?
Either way it's stupid to dismiss the effects of colonialism on Africa, France especially has no right to speak on the matter in that fashion

Nobody is stopping former french colonies from advancing. Djibouti was a former french colony and now they have higher GDP than oil rich Yemen. If countries take the victimhood mentality regarding colonialism that has been ended for more than 50 years, they will never succeed, why would you when you can just about colonialism while other former colonies do much much better than youCouldn't one make the argument that overpopulation is a consequence of poverty in the sense that poorer people are more likely to have a lot of children than richer people, that being due to poorer people lacking access to contraception and birth control?

Macron is correct, the Bantu mathow population boom is iminent and it will mean the end of the Cushitic/Hamitic race in the horn of africa. It's already beginning Somalia is 20% bantu soon they will have sex with somali women and continue their bantu expansion. Bantus need to be taught how to use contraceptions because overpopulated with Bantus = drain on global resources.
Its very very very simple.
1. Resources are finite
2. Population increase = increase in draining finite resources
3. Meaning not enough resources to go around and more people will starve

This would have been a fair criticism if it was not coming from a French president. The french are infuriating when it comes to their attitude toward Africa and Africans
I mean read this article detailing how the french STILL benefit from colonization. What a sanctimonious A**hole

I know it's fucked up but the Bastard has a point
Sxb, the population boom in these countries will devastate these developing countries, it will be a serious drain on these countries resources, well be fine bro, the bantus in Somalia isn't 20% it's more like 10%, our population is way more sustainable, our resources isn't even tapped into yet, these over populated African countries will be our biggest customers once we get our shit together
Talk about over simplifying and backwards reasoning
The parents who have a lot of kids are living on limited resources as it is,so it isn't like its a problem of resources not being enough to go around.
There is a high infant mortality rate in Somalia, especially due to civil war the population of Somalia is relatively low so it isn't overpopulation. So what is he gonna say, popping out ten kids is some how making you responsible for thieves and corrupt politicians, greedy banks (LOL ironic these same French people that decided to destroy Libya from the inside out for wanting to break free of their slavery are the ones saying it no longer exists) or the crooked NGOs?
Its like saying that the cancer is not the issue but the *real* problem is the (subsequent) weakened immune system or some other symptom of the illness

Population growth has always gone up and down. The reason why the women have so many kids is because there are high rates of early childhood deaths.
As societies develop the rate of births per women drop significantly. Asia is now going through this transition as we speak.

Don’t listen to this useless guy he has no children as well as the leaders of Germany and uk Mrs May and Merkel.
Europe is run by these people. Most of European countries are going through negative population growth. Places like Italy and Spain have an average birth rate of 1.2 children per household. That is unsuitable, the birth rate should be at least 2.1 for it to stay the same/ grow.
And the answer to their problems is open door policy.
