“Rwanda and neighbouring Burundi…are the two most densely populated countries in Africa, and among the most densely populated in the world: Rwanda’s average population density is triple even that of Africa’s third most densely populated country (Nigeria),and 10 times that of neigbouring Tanzania. Genocides in Rwanda produced the third largest body count among the world’s genocides since 1950,topped only by…Cambodia…and Bangladesh.”

If you are going to help Africans to farm realise the problem is not lack of land but too many people. Without birth control measures, Africa is doomed to lose all wildlife and forests.

And India and Brazil have the same problem.

The India-Brazil-South Africa (IBSA) Summit will be held in Brasilia on the 15th of April.
