We don't need a house right now, we need food, scrap it and sell it.

Some years later: Alright now that food security has improved lets buy a house. Sorry most construction companies got put out of business by Humanitarian Builder Inc. and they just closed shop cos funding ran out. Contractors aren't building permanent businesses.

Is anyone else starting to wonder whether somebody is intentionally raising an army for some future purpose in Africa?

Like the thing preventing “development” in Africa isn’t that too many of their children die early. Or, if it is, can someone enlighten me? I don’t understand how that is the problem with “development” occurring there.
