What about the butt load of westerners who possess the power to do so? What about the majority of the western population? Why are people not caring?
It's funny you bring this up. One good example is the 'bread basket' of Africa, Rhodesia, now known as Zimbabwe. Has some of the most arable land in the world. It used to make the a lot of its money off agricultural exports, the vast majority of which were from White owned farms, and not securities type ownership, actual descendents of white colonists. In the last 10 years, the government of Zimbabwe evicted almost all the white farmers off their land and redistributed it to blacks under a policy of land redistribution. Predictably there is now hyperinflation and huge food shortages. Not to mention 20% of the population under 25 is HIV positive.If it's such a good resource, why aren't the people in these African countries growing shit on that land and exporting it for profit and using the profit to buy their people what they need?
but we're talking baout 600000 chikking dying!!!! Think of the chikkens!!!

Their solution? Mugabe is now expropriating foreign owned companies and blaming America and Britain for all their problems.
