Racist article from White Power site ? Neo Nazi ? KKK ?

Nope, Timesonline.uk

Finally, some common fucking sense here.
Afreaka is drastically over populated. Living in filth & squalor, just 
what they need, encouragement to spawn more useless mouths to fight over 
dwindling resources.

Left to their own devices, yes there would be mass starvation, as there 
is in nature when any animals over populate their environment.
Let it happen, and let their so-called "governments" concentrate their 
resources of taking care of their populations, instead of relying on 
handouts from whitey.

Within a generation, there will be a greatly reduced population, perhaps 
even a viable black population, that might contribute more to the world 
than disease & filth.
Scourges of humanity, nature must be allowed to take its course.

Do starving Africans a favour. Don’t feed them

There is famine in Kenya and Ethiopia again. Sending food and emergency 
relief will make things worse in the long term
Sam Kiley


The Horn of Africa is in the grip of the worst drought for 47 years! 
Some 23 million people are threatened with starvation! When you see 
children on TV with distended bellies keening over their dying parents, 
it would be inhuman not to be moved to tears. But do them a favour. Sit 
on your hands.

The situation is ghastly to be sure. But, as Christmas approaches, the 
most intelligent response to this latest disaster is to quote Ebenezer 
Scrooge and cry “bah, humbug”.

African aid organisations have been in the grip of an hysterical number 
inflation game since the hideous images of the Ethiopian famine were 
brought to our screens 25 years ago today by the BBC’s Michael Buerk. 
For every year that has passed the scale of Africa’s problems seem to 
have grown.

Aid organisations and the media have inflated the scale of subsequent 
horror, regardless of the truth. This year the International Rescue 
Committee released data from its Democratic Republic of the Congo 
mortality survey. “Congo’s war and aftermath have killed 5.4 million,” 
The Washington Post yelled, quoting the IRC. Humbug.


The IRC isn’t deliberately lying, neither was the Post. But the idea 
that 5.4 million people have died as a result of war in Congo is 
nonsense. It needs to be peddled to help to generate funds to relieve 
the real and hideous suffering of Congo’s population, but nonsense it 
remains. As the IRC admits: “Less than 10 per cent of all deaths were 
due to violence, with most attributed to easily preventable and 
treatable conditions such as malaria, diarrhoea, pneumonia and 
malnutrition.”

The IRC is saying, really, that the Congolese are dying because they are 
poor. Recent work by André Lambert and Louis Lohlé-Tart shows that the 
rising mortality rate predates the wars there. But combine “war’’ with 
“millions dead’’ and you have a donation-winning headline We all do it. 
We use statistics to highlight the horrors in Africa to drive home the 
unbelievable scale of the continent’s problems. But that’s the problem: 
the scale has become unbelievable. Twenty-three million? From my 
experience of two decades’ reporting from Africa, I can say with 
absolute confidence that this is humbug. Did anyone count them? No.

Oxfam says that 3.8 million Kenyans, more than 3.8 million Somalis, and 
13.7 million Ethiopians “need aid”. Implicit in this is that they could 
perish through lack of food. In Kenya it might be possible to make this 
guess. But in Somalia, which has been in a post-apocalyptic state of 
anarchy since 1991?

There is a drought. Just as there is every ten years. This is the worst 
in a generation. But even if 23 million people do face starvation, 
please don’t reach for your cheque book. Foreign aid is the principal 
reason for Africa’s accumulated agony.

According to Oxfam: “Food aid saves lives, but it crowds out other ... 
initiatives that support communities’ strategies to prevent the next 
drought from becoming a disaster.” Exactly. If we send help now, we’ll 
be killing more people later because more people will be bred and no one 
will think to save any crops to feed them.

Kenya is having a terrible time. But it would not be doing so if the 
breadbasket in the west of the country had not been torn apart by ethnic 
violence. If the agricultural outreach programmes, which helped farmers 
to improve productivity through the 1960s and 1970s, had not collapsed, 
if the Government’s milk and beef marketing system was not ruined by 
corruption, and if people had not been settled on marginal land that can 
never sustain them, then Kenya would be able to feed itself even in 
times of drought.

When the rains do come to Kenya there are not enough seed stocks. 
Kenya’s politicians have stolen much of the aid that we have sent them, 
and now we are expected to feed their constituents. Every time Kenya, or 
for that matter Ethiopia, has faced a food shortage the wealthy nations 
have come to the rescue.

Oxfam reveals in its latest paper, Band Aids and Beyond, that between 70 
and 92 per cent of US aid to Ethiopia has been food aid — and almost all 
of that was the surplus product of American farms. So Ethiopia has had 
no need to feed itself. Worse still, Ethiopia and Eritrea spent billions 
that should have been used to develop self-sufficiency between 1998 and 
2000 on a border war over a mess of barren rocks. They could do this 
because we in the wealthy North fed the populations of both countries.

So, what to do? For an answer I turn to Birham Woldu, who survived the 
(man-made) 1984 famine in Ethiopia.

“Constantly shipping food from places like the US is costly, uneconomic, 
and can encourage dependency,” she writes in the Oxfam report. “We are a 
big country and when there is famine in one part of the country, there 
is plenty in another. So we need better infrastructure and 
communications to move food around to where it is needed. Above all we 
need education.”

If they want to badly enough, the Ethiopians can sort out their own 
roads. So that leaves education. We can help Africans to help themselves 
by donating to charities that ring-fence funding for education. If they 
don’t do it, don’t give. Mark all cheques “not for food” if you have to.

With education Africans can and will rid themselves of the incompetent 
and corrupt leaders that we have kept in power through foreign aid for 
decades. Educated Africans will bring an end to a dangerous cycle of 
humbug.

Obviously false . Almost all african nations have very low density of population.
On a good paper jeSSe writes a wrong commentary
