While The Rest of the World is in Demographic Decline... Astonishing change is underway in Africa, where the population is projected to nearly double to 2.5 billion over the next quarter-century, then double again by 2100!
In an era that will not only transform many African countries, experts say, but also radically reshape their relationship with the rest of the world. Birthrates are tumbling in non African nations, creating anxiety about how to care for, and pay for, their aging societies. But Africa’s baby boom continues apace, fueling the youngest, fastest growing population on earth. The median age on the African continent is 18. In India, the world’s most populous country, it is 28. In China and the United States, it is 38.
Africa’s political reach is growing, too. Its leaders are Woke and no longer swayed by western promises and flashy summits by foreign powers that covet their huge reserves of the minerals needed to fuel their own resource poor economies. Countries are following the example of nations like Burkina Faso formerly a low-income Sahelian country with unlimited natural resources it wasn't allowed to profit from. Its economy is based on agriculture and mining, particularly gold that was controlled by Western corporations from France and others who enforced policies with threats of destabilization to the countries national security in order to steal mineral wealth. More than 40% of the population lives below the national poverty line but that is quickly changing.
Throughout the Sahelian strip, conflicts over access to natural resources between nomadic and sedentary communities continue to multiply on transhumance routes. Rebels/insurgents are given weapons by foreign powers who then offer training and weapons to the nations military to combat the insurgents. This way foreign companies can exploit and remove resources cheaply leaving a scarcity of natural resources available to the nations citizens to grow their economy. They then blame the economic disenfranchisement on demographic pressure, climate instability, and armed conflicts as the main cause, by funding continual these micro-conflicts which fuel the emergence of inter-community conflicts, which in turn fuel political conflicts the foreign nation can impose unfair agreements to the distressed country and threaten their sovereignty by blaming the leadership if they oppose foreign will.
The Sahel, the vast semi-arid region of Africa separating the Sahara Desert to the north and tropical savannas to the south, is as much a land of opportunities as it is of challenges. Although it has abundant human and natural resources, offering tremendous potential for rapid growth! Burkina Faso, Cameroon, Chad, The Gambia, Guinea Mauritania, Mali, Niger, Nigeria and Senegal are nations involved in the proposed creation of an intra African trade and renewable energy plan to build solar farms in each Sahel nation creating an international grid that could power the entire Sahel cheaply and launch exponential growth potential for all nations involved. Freeing them from negative foreign influences.
In most African countries, 70 percent or more of the population is under the age of thirty, a youth bulge that is projected to accelerate for decades to come. Some experts feel that if properly harnessed, the youth boom could propel the continent to new levels of economic and geopolitical power. In the USA Some 800,000 fewer babies are being born annually now than had pre-pandemic fertility rates been sustained. And, nearly 2.1 million more women of prime childbearing age are childless than would be expected. A majority share of those 800,000 annual births that are not occurring would have been white.
Sperm counts worldwide have halved over the past five decades,(with the exception of Subs-Saharan Africans and the Eu-melanated African Diaspora and the pace of the decline has more than doubled since the turn of the century, new research shows. The international team behind it says the data is alarming and points to a fertility crisis threatening the survival of humanity. It shows for the first time that Caucasian and Asian men in Latin America, Asia, and North Africa share a similar decline in total sperm counts and concentration as previously observed in Europe, North America, and coastal Australia. In the United States, Canada and New Zealand, the 'majority-minority' point will arrive around 2050, while in western Europe it is projected to occur even faster unless more migrants can be brought in from Eastern Europe. Some commentators have asked if this change may lead to a growing negative reaction or 'white backlash'.
Demographers have found overall white natural decrease in the U.S. for the first time in 2016 according to census data. We also find that twenty-nine states are currently experiencing it and that its occurrence has accelerated significantly from seventeen states in 2014 to twenty-six states in 2016.and 29 in 2020 Some 60 percent of the U.S. population reside in the 29 white natural decrease states and many of them are among the nation's most populous and urbanized. In addition to the long-term demographic forces we identified, three recent trends are accelerating the incidence of white natural decrease. The first is the significant decline in U.S. fertility fostered by the Pandemic. The second is endocrine disruptors like phthalates in the food and water, and lastly the effects of climate and global warming on fertility.
