Bill Gates on Africa's population boom and the risk of the US turning inwards

With Africa's population set to double by 2050, Bill Gates has warned that progress in cutting poverty is at risk. The Microsoft co-founder speaks to the FT's Vanessa Kortekaas about the Gates Foundation's Goalkeepers report, which tracks levels of poverty and disease.

These people are so arrogant and entitled to feel they should actually be concerned with the population of another Nation.

Nobody finds this strange that a computer tech is discussing human population. Especially in Africa

This man's obsession with Africa is worrying

[chinaphashe]

Africa has enough land and food for its population if Europe and the west can get out of Africa and stop looting Africa of its resources.
