Africa went from a population of 228 million in 1950, to 1460 million in 2023.
There is no food shortage. If they have sufficient food for 1095 million people they have way more food available than Europe with its 742 million inhabitants.
Politics on the continent is the central issue. Not how other continents can give more free food which stimulates further population growth.
It's not colonization of the continent fra fucked it up till today. Other nations on different continents have made it just fine. Multiple times. Even Norway was under a 400 year occupation by Denmark.
