This tripling is actually slow compared to other areas that had population growth tied to economic and HDI growth

See the UK's population exploded from 8 million in 1800 to 30 million by 1900.

Similarly the area of "Germany"

Near tripling of population

similarly india went from 400 million in 1950 to 1.2 billion today

Sub-Saharan africa is now seeing the benefits of modern medicine and lesser children dying below 5, people living longer and economic growth. That will dip off from 2050 onwards.

It will cause pain, but this is not unusual.

France had explosive growth from 1500 to 1700 when, in 1700 it was 25% of the population of the entire European continent including European Russia. This lead to France with wars etc.

In the case of Africa there will be consequences, but these can be curtailed - I don't know how, but we know better than we did inthe 1700s

The problem is that Europe may be completely overwhelmed by the population surge in Africa. They could stop the current and future influx if they had the will to do so, but as of now none of the major European powers do have the will, with many leaders insanely saying mass immigration from Africa will save Europe from its demographic decline.

A small controlled amount of immigration is fine, but with the huge numbers involved here large parts of Europe may become de facto parts of Africa.
