Several countries in South Africa have AIDs infection 25 percent or 1 in every 4 person. This is a horror show. As a consequence, their massive population growth rate is declining quickly. The citizens of most civilized countries don't know much about Africa, thinking it perhaps just jungles and safari and elephants and lions, really because there's nothing much worthy to know. Africa in general is the world's most over populated place in the context of subsistence, and the politics there is one of most chaotic and corrupt, probably worse than Middle East.
