I have some limited experience traveling and working in sub-Saharan Africa. The scale of the problem is huge. I know people have written many, many books about the causes. What I saw, personally and in my very limited experience, is a cautionary tale for us all.

I am certain that destroying USAID was a deliberate tactic to allow Musk and his evil buddies a clear field. Russia has pretty much taken over the countries in the belt below the gulf. China is buying up everything in sight.
