This country was historically the breadbasket of the world, suddenly they are the biggest importer of grain and they're going to starve because of turbulences on the global wheat market.

What happened?

i wish my people bred like this too

North Africa used to be one of the most fertile regions of the Roman Empire. It used to be green.
Also, Iraq and Persia used to be mostly green as well.

poland should have stayed a poor shithole when, instead of getting rich.

Whypipo

But... Poland is still a poor shithole, innit?!

compare to egypt? no!

>What happened?
overpopulation they’re at higher pop now then entire roman empire probably

are there food shortages in Morocco too or you're self-sufficient with agriculture?

Oh, well that is fair. Have a good one mate.

This. Those retards have 100 million population on a landmass the size of fucking Belgium (which is already overpopulated by 12 million people).

They have plenty of space to house that population if they can somehow combat the desertification and terraform the place. Egypt is actually pretty big overall, their pop density at face value is just at 98 people per square kilometers which is lower than Germany and most large european nation

Only for wheat and some secondary stuff like honey
we're not worse but we're not good even, for now

Ok I hope you will help your ummah brothers in Egypt so they wouldn't have to migrate to Europe

>wiki says that modern estimates are 50-90M for Roman Empire
Tgey actually do

rare flag

the Br*ish and monarchy made them farm useless shit like cotton

they're like 100m, they should be the ones sending us people to eat if a cannibalism crisis happens

Are poor people poor because they breed a lot, or do they breed a lot because they're poor?

why Moroccans don't breed as fast as Egyptians, you have more room for that

Dunno, maybe they wanna bet that one of their many kids turn out to be a genius who can get them out of the misery.

poor people don't have access to education that women could use to make a career and most of uneducated jobs are physical, thus the only thing left for them is being housewives
simple as

Unironically arabs. Arabic nomads are cattle herders by tradition and their migration into the traditional farmland regions of northern africa during the middle ages made the lands less fertile and created more grazing land

most of the country is a desert + mountains
Our birthrates are falling down terribly especially for urban zones because of modernization
both
more kids = more mouths to feed, less money to save
Some people also have mutliple kids as a "third charm" thing
at least one of your 10 kids is going to have a respectable job and move you out of your shithole, otherwise rip

what about educated urban Arab population, do they also have a lot of children

I mean, I really wish we had more children here, so having at least 4-5 children was simply fashionable and seen positively. Now the biggest problem is the social attitude to large families, if you have 5 children you're seen as someone weird, either overly religious or just extremely backwards who can't use contraception methods

Didn't they convert it into cotton farms?
