The stats may be true, but I have collected some of my best adventures and experiences in sub-saharan Africa. Not to mention the life-lasting friendships I have made with other pilots who shared these experiences. Sure it is a miserable place, but one can make it comfortable and the flying is awesome. Expect the unexpected and you will not be disappointed. Wouldn't want to do it forever, but I don't regret any of it. Gave me a good grounding in DF.
Don't knock it! It might not be for everyone, but you never know until you've tried. Might be wise to change your name AC, its not all that friendly and rubs folk in this God- fearing part of the world up the wrong way, but apart from that "WELCOME TO THE JUNGLE!!!!"
