Your fantasy that the Sahel is feeding Europeans couldn't be farther from the truth. Quite the opposite--- there are millions of people in the Sahel dependent on food aid from the EU, US, and UN.
AND your fantasy that Africans are slackers is equally ridiculous. The problem in the Sahel isn't that the people there are slackers---they problem is that the population there has grown to the point that it is beyond the local carrying capacity.
Again, Peter, you would benefit from making a trip to Africa to see how people there actually live and to learn how hard they work. Its quite a bit different from what you see on TV.
