Steve, I think the fourth paragraph (or fifth if you count the Guardian headline) should be in your voice, not the Guardian's. In other words, one paragraph looks incorrectly blockquoted.
“Many African leaders continue in thrall to the primal African cult of fertility."
Writing in the 19th century, Richard Francis Burton claimed that African leaders seemed particularly averse to population growth, and their regular ritual mass sacrifices seem to bear this out.
Perhaps it wasn't a native cult of fertility, but the work of missionaries that led to the current African attitude.

> Sailer adds: “We need elites with the courage to make clear to African politicians like Magufuli that their cultural backwardness will not be allowed to swamp the rest of the world. I suspect that many Africans would respond favorably to a Western crusade for more sustainable African fertility levels.”
"Yes we Whites messed up our cultures, so could you Africans mess up yours as well so you don't out breed us."
The Guardian is very left wing. Worse even than NYT. This coverage is to be expected. But as you say, it’s free publicity. Also, it’s free to read so it has a lot of readers.

They needed extra babies for those mass sacrifices, wars, and high infant/child/mother mortality, just as we in the West did until last century.
