No, Africa can't grow its own food. If they could, they would've, a long time ago.

We are growing our own food and exporting excess food to other countries. What do you think we are doing with our land? Just play on it? Only countries who are unable to grow their own food are those who are at war. War which is started by the very same West who pretend to be feeding us.

Your claim is that most starvation in Africa is caused by war, and most war is instigated by countries outside Africa (China and the U.S.?).

Why, then, don't we see so much war in South America, where China and the U.S. are also heavily involved?

I love how you cherry-picked South America and ignore recent examples where US is directly involved in impoverishing people by destroying their country in the name of democracy. Democracy meaning installing their own puppets who will allow them to loot. Countries like Libya, Egypt, Syria, Iraq, Kuwait etc. All South American countries have been at war. All of them. Google them one by one. Leave China out of this equation because they have never started or sponsored war outside Asia. When a country isn't at war, know that it is ruled by puppets of the West.

And you're cherry picking Muslim countries, when when we talk about starvation in Africa we mean the huge barren between the Muslim countries and South Africa.

We are talking malaria here, what do the Muslim countries have to do with that?
