No, they will end up at 2 or below when some form of long term stability is eventually reached. The political-economic situation, from outside nations messing with to internal corruption, explain a lot about its current birthrate.

China's current investment into Africa at this time may eventually bring the economic stability to many of these area. That said I'm not sure I'd want China enforcing my long term cultural stability.

China's 'investment' in Africa doesn't benefit Africa, from what I understand. They build entire towns of imported Chinese labor and take all the money out. Last I read about it.
