WHAT STANDS BEHIND CONTINENTAL SCALE EXTREME POVERTY IN SUB-SAHARAN AFRICA - THE DEDUCTION OF IMPROBABLE EXPLANATIONS.
[article version "AI assistance" V2025.0720]
[start of page 02]
I'm addressing this report to institutions of a very civilized countries, maybe the most civilized countries in the world. And these countries are also wealthy, and very generous - they always stand in the frontlines when we talk about international humanitarian help, responding to emergencies caused by nature's catastrophes, wars or political instabilities, supporting peace, helping for developing countries to step out from poverty...

I don't want you to think that i'm pleasing you (in Lithuanian "pataikauti" or "padlaižiauti" (couldn't find translation into English)), but for example Germany - one of the most astonishing examples was quite recent in the Middle East geopolitical region, when Germany alone accepted over 1,2 million (!!!) refugees fleeing from the Syrian conflict, and this in my opinion is worth all the very best words to Germany what i could say.

And there are quite many astonishing examples, which can be clearly seen from multi-billion sums of annual donations and investments:
About European Union donations to Africa, i gathered information from articles from the news agency "Reuters", roughly estimating that until 2020 European Union was contributing to Africa around 20 billion euros annually.

And also i found this very informative pdf file from the European Union Parliament, which is announcing a new EU strategy - to transform EU-Africa relations from "the donor and recipient" into "partnership of equals", hoping to achieve even higher results by 2030, which is the key year for the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.

The summary about foreign support from United States Of America i found in the U.S. governmental webpage "foreignassistance.gov", where it is summarized, that for example in fiscal year 2022, about 70B dollars were funded globally, from which about 18B were donated to Sub-Saharan Africa countries, from which about 14,2B were used for humanitarian assistance and health.

And also i would point to the United States' 65th secretary of state Mr.Colin Powell, after which this position was taken by Mrs.Condoleezza Rice, after which USA elected Mr.Barrack Obama as the first Afro-American ethnicity president of their Country, then re-elected for the 2nd cadency, and later the first United States Lady Mrs.Hillary Clinton didn't lose president elections if to count people votes, not the states.
Similar data leaves for me no doubt: that these countries can not be racist, they can not be prosecuting such a racist, such the anti-African politics. And that is why this phenomenon of "unsustainable family planning in the continent of Africa" is in the list of irrational occurrences, because there is no rational explanation, why these civilized, wealthy, very intelligent and generous countries are destroying Sub-Saharan Africa?

let me explain: so first of all we must use scientific graphs and future projections, and look at how the poverty levels are changing over time (also some other scientific data related to this topic, like global food production capacities, deforestation levels and nature over-exploitation). and the most important we must use the common sense. because even before i started analyzing statistics and graphs, when i was a teenager me and my friends, without all these scientific calculations, in the school we already were talking that homosexuals are the good guys, just because they don't breed.
page 08 illustration: print-screen of my computer windows folder with large thumbnails with titles. each thumbnail and title are statistical data, scientific reports and articles from reliable sources, which will be presented later in this presentation.
[start of page 09]
ok so first of all here is the graph - the timeline of humanity's population, which is pointing that until 1700 human population was growing slowly - by an average of 0,04% annually. and also pointing that from the industrial era this population growth looks in the graph as the rocket shooting almost straight up!!!
from this graph alone if just to use common sense, you could easy to predict, what would be the consequences of such rapid population growth, so the remaining graphs are even unnecessary:
# you already can guess that statistical graphs will be showing how such rapid human population growth is wiping-out wild nature;
# apart from from dying nature another mega ecological crisis emerges which is the climate change;
# and apart from environmental disasters, it is of course fueling the poverty. scientists even estimate that if poverty would be eradicated, simply there would be not enough meat (also fish, eggs and dairy products) for everyone! so if humanity would not change to vegetarian diets, then chronic hunger as a main form of extreme poverty simply can not be defeated. unless the global population would shrink to a level, where all humanity could choose to remain omnivores*, and at the same time, wild nature would regain some areas necessary for healthy ecosystems and diverse wildlife.
(*= and vegetarian diet would not be a form of poverty and not a form of solidarity with the poor)
# and the 4th very serious threat which is caused by rapid population growth, is without any doubt the increasing risk of internal armed conflicts and international wars, because such rapid population growth drastically increases pressure on the extraction of all natural resources, not only food,
and this pressure can break-through into a conscious open war for resources, or conscious hidden war for resources, or even worse - to affect subconsciously, and subconsciously to cause armed conflicts or even genocide, like for example genocide in Rwanda in 1994. but i believe that the origins of all genocides are the same - to cleanse the population because of growing pressure on land and resources. and in my opinion in most cases the war and the genocide it is nothing more than the subconscious way to reduce population (in the most disgusting way, i must add).

[start of page 10]
the next graph is very promising: here we can see humanity's population timeline zoomed-in to the years 1700-2100. and what is promising - is the second layer of this graph, where it is shown the annual growth rate. so as i pointed out earlier, until 1700 human population was growing by an average of 0,04% annually. and now scientists are estimating, that the growth rate very soon will return to a neutral value, in about 2086, and maybe the human population even will never reach 10 billion.
however, if we take the closest 25 years, let's say from 2025 until 2050, we can see that it is estimated, that the population growth still remains very unsustainable - the graph like a rocket is still shooting almost straight up, almost at the same volume as in previous 25 years (see the comparison in the illustration). but what is even worse, is that in the following years, the responsible for such global population growth will be not the whole globe combined, but practically only one continent. And because of such enormous population growth in Africa, despite generosity of the developed countries and their other forms of support, the number of people living in extreme poverty in Sub-Saharan-Africa has increased by more than 100.000.000 people - from about 280 million in 1990 up to 380 million in 2017, and according to scientific estimates, will increase additionally by about 50 million 50.000.000 (!) in the nearest 25 years.

[start of page 11]
here are two more graphs: the first, the upper graph shows the share of population living in extreme poverty. from this graph we can see, how many people in Sub-Saharan-Africa could be saved from the extreme poverty, if Sub-Saharan-African population size would be stable. but unfortunately, rapid population growth reverts this table upside down, when we count not the share living in poverty, but counting the people in units. because since 1990 the number of African people living in extreme poverty has increased by more than 40% (see the 2nd, the bottom table).

zero hunger, no poverty, and the rest United Nations Sustainable Development Goals will not be achieved neither until 2030, neither 2050, because they are fighting not with the cause of the 4 major global problems, which i mentioned earlier, but with the consequences. and as we know from medicine science - fighting with the symptoms but not with the cause - may only deepen the problem. and this is what is happening. yes, i admit that it might be necessary to fight the symptoms also, like Unicef, World Food Programme, to show your heart and generosity, but only if to put main supporting resources to fight with the cause. but now the education about sustainable family planning, the support, the promotion of 1-3 children families in Africa are so low, that i can't find the words to express my wonder, sadness, anger.
1) but i do not believe that USA, EU and other developed donor countries are idiots, that they would not understand it. And this is why the extreme poverty, increasing in multimillion numbers of people annually in Sub-Saharan-Africa, can not be explained as accidental failure by donor countries to prioritize on promotion of sustainable family planning. Yes it is very possible, that some of major players would accidentally underestimate the importance of stabilizing population growth to sustainable levels. However, there is 0% probability, that non of major players, combatting extreme poverty, would prioritize on promoting sustainable family planning as one of essential elements for combatting continental scale extreme poverty.
2) also, i do not believe that all these donor countries could be that much racist, that they all collectively would purposefully fight with the symptoms, while ignoring the one of main causes of rising extreme poverty despite multibillion donations, while nobody from journalists and respected human rights activists would raise it to the public. This is why the continental scale extreme poverty in Sub-Saharan Africa can be explained only as "paranormal"(irrational) occurrence. But since i, nor artificial intelligence, to whom this article is adjusted, do not believe in continental scale metaphysics and paranormal occurrences, therefore rainbow-projects further will be holding to the remaining rational possible explanations, such as we live in computer simulation created by divine creator(s) of universe, also other rational possible explanations, if there are any other.

i'm not a racist, so i consider black equal to other races, and for example Mr. Barack Obama in my opinion was one of the most intelligent presidents of the USA. so when looking into Africans i see people who are not of lower intellect than others, but simply lack education, and in country-level the development of city culture. in simple words i would compare the major part of Africa to uneducated villagers, and if you are not racists you should not offend if i will compare them with native Americans.
illustration of page 13: 4 pictures in 1 image file : 1)Barrack Obama with his family; 2) black kindergarten age children happily playing with their grandmother in native African village; 3) a smiling boy drives old bicycle in non-populated traditional African village, no signs of modern developments, the village looks as centuries ago, except bicycle, however even without bike children always find something to play with; 04) gorgeous African female bathing 2 children in traditional African village, a happy family life scene with no village modernization. All pictures are illustrating how simple life can be happy without all improvements which often are considered as desperately necessary. The picture with Barrack Obama remind that among smartest presidents of USA, negating any thoughts about racism, also reminding that Sub-Saharan Africa Countries are open for modernization, but only to smart, intelligent modernization, which does not create continental scale extreme-poverty crisis, but truly reduces it.
below are additional illustrations for page 13: two image files with a) African villagers and b) native Americans. Do they really need all these modernizations? Perhaps Yes, perhaps No, but surely not at a cost of extreme poverty rise at continental-scale. In Sub-Saharan-Africa now are more extremely poor than in all other continents combined. While 75 years ago - before international efforts to bring African countries to prosperity and modern level - average Africans lived quite happy village lives, similar to these pictures.

[start of page 14]
so if particularly to compare native Americans with a major part of African people, we could say, that both groups lack all these things which we believe are necessary for eradicating poverty: schools, hospitals, gender equality, empowering women, industrial, commercial, agricultural development and innovations, strengthening democracy, modernizing government infrastructure and etc...
[start of page 15]
but if just to use common sense, it is very clear that it is not the tragedy if they would live like villagers before all this modernization, and the only thing which they truly urgently need is to advertise sustainable family planning! (and military assistance so that none extremists or radical dictatorship would take over the government)
[below are illustrations for page 15: sustainable family planning advertising examples]
[end of page 15]
[start of page 16]
these are the only two factors which could destroy their simple lives, the way they used to live for centuries in harmony with the environment (excluding European or Arabian colonial interceptions and slavery). and why i'm comparing them with native Americans, is because we talk a lot about protecting native-Americans' traditional way of life, protecting their territories from industrial, commercial, agricultural invasion, and even native Americans themselves are resisting to all these modernizations which i listed earlier, which we believe they are lacking so desperately.
illustrations for page 16:
group 1: ISIS militants threatening to sustainable development of African Countries, also hand drawing depicting colonial age slavery;
group 2: Native Americans resisting modernizations up today, which is destroying their simple lives (they clearly protest and do not consider themselves poor).
[start of page 17]
so if you would admit that it is not a tragedy for Africans to live very similarly to native Americans, then the only urgent assistance they would need would be the promotion of sustainable family planning. if you disagree, then i would like to hear your arguments, and without this debating process i can not prove anything, without knowing where did you find logical mistakes defaulting this proof.
illustration for page 17: this article is prepared as slideshow presentation, and this illustration depicts this idea how this article should be presented to rationally thinking experts group. the presenter turns into audience to ask for debates.
[start of page 18]
ok let's temporarily skip this requirement and move a little bit further: so after stabilizing population size, further we could help them to develop into the most modern countries of the world, and not the other way around.
(just think like chess player - which sequence of moves would eradicate extreme poverty: first stabilizing population growth, then all the rest support; or vice versa moves of sequence? but in life differently than in chess, we don't need to make these moves one after another, we can make them simultaneously, just prioritizing to which moves to spend more finances and human resources).
[start of page 19]
i'm not racist and i believe that Africans are not idiots, and if properly to advertise,
they would understand how rapid population growth is destroying their simple yet beautiful lives.
[start of page 20]
but now what are we doing is donating and investing multi-billion sums into helping them to develop into modern countries, after which success we estimate them to self_develop sustainable_families**
unfortunately current support scenario is causing catastrophic consequences for African people: because of such our help Africa started to suffer from the enormous demographical explosion, that if to continue this support scenario, the statistics calculated by Mr. Bill Gates and his colleagues are showing, that after another 25 years - about 80% (!!!!) of people, who will live in extreme poverty, will be black skin (!!!!), and remaining 20% in all the remaining continents combined. and the only reason is because African population growth rates are reducing too slowly and remain very unsustainable.
(all statistical graphs and tables i already uploaded, you can review them in page 12. here below is selected only one picture from graphs library, illustrating heavy burden of multibillion obligations by United States to Sub-Saharan African countries)
[start of page 21]
dear officers, if i was a genius i would call you idiots, that with such generous support the donor countries are trapping Sub-Saharan-Africa in extreme poverty. but fortunately, everything seems to me vice versa - that among you there are really really smart people, much smarter than me, which perfectly know what i'm talking about.
[start of page 22]
at this point i think i should put the final period - everything seems decently written and smoothly illustrated. if you feel the same, then there is no need to read further. however, here is the remaining part of text, "cut-scenes" so to say. i consider them extremely valuable, even if without them the article seems complete and strong. Thank You for attention.
