#1 "Most deaths were from easily preventable and treatable illnesses rather than violence,"

Yes of course, decades of tribal violence, bloodshed, and killing had absolutely nothing to do with the prevention of illnesses or starvation. An observation only someone from the IRC and or New York would venture.

#2 "Most deaths were from easily preventable and treatable illnesses rather than violence,"

This was true for all wars prior to WWI, at least for the Americans. It may be true for other nations in WWII, e. g. Soviet Union, Japan, China and Germany. Note the lice discussion regarding Napoleon's defeat in Russia.

This is just another sign that Africa is slipping back to the pre-modern world, or at least that we are growing more aware that it is not part of the modern world, if it ever was. No wonder the mohammedans find it such a fertile field. Now that the missionary-imperialist impulse has left the West, it will be interesting to see if and how the Africans manage to rejoin the world.

#3 It amazes me how the populations of these hideous places continue to size despite the appalling death rates and interminable wars. Polpulation control is needed in sub-Africa but soehow this doesn't seem right.
