Jacob, I agree with you analysis of some of the underlying forces in Africa. However, I think it is not a complete set of forces so you jump to your conclussion too quickly. It would be interesting to see how the Black Death plague shaped religious belief in Europe. I think that Africa could experience mass migrations that put pressure on Middle Eastern countries. I also think that completely intractable famines are possible with entire regions depopulating. Don't forget the swift brutality we learned is possible from Rwanda. Many outcomes are possible, non look good. Paul
