Oh no no no.
If you are proposing (as I seem to discern) that the Europeans would want to relocate to Africa after the natives die of starvation and AIDS, then the answer is decidedly, "NO!"
The truth is, most Europeans and New Worlders and Asians just don't give the value of a deceased rodent's behind for the fate of Africa. In other words, we've taken most of what we wanted out of Africa, and now it can go to Hell, for all we care.
Genocide? Starvation? Plague? Inhumanity on a scale that beggars the imagination of the most depraved monsters in our culture? No problem, so long as it is "over there" and we don't have to think about it.
Sorta like the slave markets in the Middle East and Southeast Asia ... so long as we don't have to think about it, so long as we can watch the latest brain-pap serial on the television, we prefer not to know. Knowing might mean that we would have to do something about it.
Cheers.

If you think things are going to get bad, you may not know the half of it, consider the following....in 50 years at our current rate of growth the earth will reach 10 billion souls, with zero fossil fuels, zero coal and other natural resources. Wars will be over water.
The chasm between the haves and have-not will increase, the populations of the third world will be staggering. Will technology save the day, maybe. Will we control our growth and use 'green' technoloy, unlikely.
The world will come back to more sustainable population levels, say around 3 billion, only by some cataclysmic event, either via world-wide pandemics, wars or one of the other 4 Horsemen of the Apacolypse....so sit tight, its going to be a bumpy ride.

I believe part of the problem with trying to help is that we have to let so many people in Africa get rich so that we can be allowed to help the poor. How many people have to be paid to allow a truck to arrive, how much must be paid to get a ship into port, how much of the medicine and food will go to the rich of Africa before a poor child is fed. How much shame is on the people that grow rich on the death of their fellow country men?
For AIDS, would you be willing to allow the women more power to say no to sex, even to a husband? Would you be willing to make all the men wear a condom everytime they have sex, even with their wives? Would you be willing to not pressure girls and women to get married until THEY choose the partner and the time after the man has shown himself to be clean with tests?
Would you be willing to protect the people who come to Africa to help or would we be like the ones facing death for being blamed for spreading the AIDS in a hospital when the evidence we hear about says the problem was lack of clean equipment that started before they got there?
I don't want to help a few rich Africans get richer on my money while the rest of their people starve. I don't want to go to africa as a nurse and be put in jail because someone thinks it looks good for them to punish the Americans or because because I don't cover whatever old fat bits of my body somebody wants covered. I want to help but I always feel most of my money goes to soilders and men, not the women and children.

Its tough to speak for an entire grouping of countries... but I'll try!
I suspect that "rich" countries try to keep a level of discord and disorder in Africa for the sole purpose of raping and pillaging the natural resources of the continent.
Compared to many locations worldwide, the "richest countries" are far from overpopulated at this time.

It is just that equations between a logical (and therefore commercial) aspect of the mind do not strike a deal with the emotional (and therefore loving) aspect of the mind... Logic does not permit any charity, unless there is a consequential threat perception, and in which case, it is no more a charity !

It is not true.They want to help,and they actually provide some help.Help alone can't change a continent.The African countries are finally responsible for their own well being.
