I hope this serves to shake up your thinking a little bit.
Am lost. What seem to be problems to me are

1. endemic corruption, poor governance, weak government and ignorant populations 2. Natural disasters 3. lack of arable land and no food security 4. exploding populations

so how can we turn these to be opportunities? how can for instance the ebola and HIV viri offer opportunity. Should we embrace them as nature's equivalent of femiplan?
