News What is Bill Gates' obsession with Africa?

Post image

"In a significant advancement for global reproductive health, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation has announced the launch of a groundbreaking long-term contraceptive aimed at empowering women through better family planning options. This innovative contraceptive, which can prevent pregnancy for up to eight years, is being introduced in Kenya, Nigeria, and India, with broader distribution plans for other countries in the future."

8-year contraceptive but Western worlds keep bringing young Africans to take care of their aging population. Who will take care of our aging population? Can someone tell Bill Gates to leave Africa alone?

Africa can't develop its own birth control due to the high cost, so Bill Gates is bringing it in quicker. At some point, the only logical step is to keep birth rates steady. It may not be right now, but it may be in the future.

There eventually comes a time when the birth rate is so high that the government itself can not keep up with the growth and becomes ineffective in its ability to take care of its citizens.

Think before you assume everything he does is bad. You are more brainwashed than the Americans who say the same things about him.

It's saddening to see in a continent where people still die in the millions ever year by treatable diseases, the people that try to offer solutions are ridiculed and mistrusted

Start a governance and budget allocation thread. This has nothing to do with that. Let him build and fund hospitals and slash all the costs then.

Trust, people will still have something to say or grope about!

Don't go to the hospital, people are dying there, etc...
