For G-d's Sake - Stop helping Africa

[newman]

Save the Children helped hundreds of thousands of children to survive 30 years ago in Sub-Saharan Africa. The result? More than a million children dying each year in the first 28 days of life. I estimate that for every child we rescue in Africa, we consign 10 to perpetual poverty and suffering, not counting another 5 that die before they are one year old.

The best strategy is to do nothing. Take a public relations hit for a few years until a few hundred million Africans die off and eventually there will be just enough food produced locally to feed the local populations without any help from the colonial or imperial powers at all, thank you.
