Through some unknown event, some 690 million Sub-Saharan Africans (including the extra-continental diaspora abroad and many Caribbeans) abruptly die over the course of a few weeks. At first, it is thought that a virus is spreading, but it is later discovered by scientists that unexplainable freak DNA malfunctions in those of direct and sole Sub-Saharan African descent have occurred. Those of non-Sub-Saharan African descent have been entirely unaffected, as well as others of Sub-Saharan African descent who have not been affected at all.
The population of Sub-Saharan Africa now stands at 220million (previously nearly 880million).
"What happens now? How will the world react? What happens to the continent?"
