Having just completed my study of the question "which came first the chicken or the egg", I feel qualified to comment on Africa.

(The chicken came first but it was not yet a chicken, it was just a conglomeration of cooperating molecules driven by desire to live).
The life force being one of consume or be consumed, and the survivors will have developed the ability to survive by growing the various appendages and characteristics seen today in a chicken.


I completed my study some years back. I have to disagree. It was the egg that came first and it was layed by something that was not a chicken. The "genetic" modification occurred at the moment of conception.

Which disqualifies you from discussing Africa. But what the heck, go ahead anyway. :o)

So,as far as The Sudan is concerned, you favor the strategy taken by Angelina Jolie's character's husband in "Beyond Borders?" He's the guy who stayed home and took care of their daughters, thereby saving their lives and his own. Angelina Jolie's character and her doctor friend went down to fix things up, interfered with the selection process that enabled the pre-chicken to develop characteristics of a chicken, and got herself killed. You're saying that's a bad idea, right?
