Silly I know, but after hearing and seeing the news coverage in China the first thing that came to mind for me was the movie with Will Smith 'I am Legend.' Where he fights the Kreppen virus that turns regular people into monsters when a doctor tries to cure cancer and the vaccine treatment backfires. Messing with Mother Nature never ends well, but hey it's only Science fiction.Originally Posted by dpb1776

Population of Africa... 1.3 billion and it doubles every 26 years. The locust won't put a dent in that. They don't tell you how many were starving to death before the locust showed up.

When I was deployed to Djibouti, we used to bastardize the Will Smith quote from After Earth "Everything on this planet has evolved to kill humans." In this case, "Everything on this continent has evolved to kill humans." Sure felt like that when thorns ripped through your boots, we got briefed on every parasite known to man or monkey, and even the camels wanted to fight you.
As for the locusts and the end of days, sure feels like it. Wars, rumors of wars? Check. Plagues? Check. Earthquakes in random places? Check. All we need now is some water to blood action and we've got Bingo!

Don't forget about ebola and aids. 69% of the world's people living with aids are in Africa.

I thought the worst were those damned kids (who could quite remarkably speak passing English) at the souk begging for shekels.

With the exception of North Africa (oil and NG) and South Africa (their laundry list of valuable minerals) the whole continent just screams to be written off.
Sorry, but I'm not sure we should be spending capital (fiscal or political) there trying to sustain a dying system.

Sounds a lot like Biblical Karma.
A true "Gun Guy" (or gal) should have familiarity and a modicum of proficiency with most all firearms platforms.

Actually...in the Central African Republic, they do eat them. The hardest part about driving the Mustang at night during the locust season was avoiding hitting kids. The lights would attract the locust and the kids would jump out to catch them. The one locust season that I was there for....it wasn't biblical proportions like what is going on now.
