Don't tell me that the black slaves of the whites, that were brought to America were ultimately not in a better position in the US. Look at where their descendants are. Some of them are in Government. And it is similar in the UK.

Africa isn't poor. Africa is being developed. While there are many intelligent Africans, many are too ignorant to even understand the benefits of development. The development of Africa is bring many ignorant Africans into a better state of living. It's simply taking a while.

For decades, the dominant image of Africa has been that it is poor and helpless. This image is wrong. i blame the documentaries that has been recorded over the years that has tainted our image for a long time. We have enough of everything to go round.
Nah, they just need to get their shit together and you know, stop falling for people that rob them blind.
I would also say that private individuals should stop sending aid. That should force corrupt governments to actually do something for their people else risk getting toppled. These "donations" are also killing whatever native industry managed to spring up. Imagine being a shoe manufacturer and then all of a sudden free shoes are coming in from abroad...

I don't think that if Individuals stop sending aid to Africa, governments are going to act.
They will keep killing people without any purpose. Because giving aid to them would cost them money which now go to their pockets.
Africa is blessed with riches and resources that is enough to make the citizen never taste a day of hunger for life, the problem of African handling the riches converting it into wealth for everyone is the first problem, the government in most African countries are such greedy that the amass wealth for themselves and their family, there is a saying the if you want to hide a secret from the Africans keep it in a book, Africans are so endowed with intelligence now that most people end up using it in another continent since it is not well appreciated and valued.
I believe that the main issue here is not about Africa being raped but who is raping Africa or is it just a 'false wolf cry'?. Rightly said, Africa is undoubtedly a rich continent, however we the Africans have refused to liberate or minds from poverty and the choice of bad leaders who are constantly destroying the justice system to be able to bring satiety to their insatiable desire sat the expense of the progress of the continent. And the sad part is how we the masses still put them back in power to rule. 'So who is raping who'?

Well documentaries is somehow our inner voice or eyes on some country we cant go into for example is the north korea right so we cant say
that africa isnt poor i think the right word is africa has been isolated because of some things we cannot see for example again is the electricity and such.

That`s why you never relay on one documentary, on one source of information. If you are interested in something you need to check it from more sides. Think critically and question everything.
Africa is certainly the most exploited continent. I do think it is also the poorest continent, but this is because Western nations have exploited Africa remorselessly for hundreds of years.
So western nations are rapping Africa for hundreds of years?
I would like to hear the names of this western nations that are rapping continents and countries. Anybody knows who are the bullies, or they are nameless?
I never called Africa as poor continent, I think these people who thinks like that are just depending to the documentaries they have watched that shows the places that struggles.

I laugh at my continent when foreigners call us poor. You make a statement online about the continent or any country in it and the first thing that comes to people mind is "That poor country or poor continent". Who is to be blamed for all these, it isn't just the leaders anymore but the people are to be held responsible because they voted those leaders into power.
The image below shows you how wealthy Africa is and if she wasn't being raped she would had been the richest continent on earth.
What my continent have failed to realized is that power won't be given to you unless you fight for it. If the world was a fair one most African countries would had been among world leading country but instead we get treated like slaves and our wealth is been enjoy by other continents. What a shame
From the marvel movie "Blackpanther" i believe the solution to the continent (Africa) problem is to act as the past Kings of wakanda did with their natural resource: Vibranium, they should learn to manage their resources themselves and later they can sell finish products to the outside world.

Africa, oh Africa. So historical, and many stories are not told properly I suppose. Much blood has been spilled trying to attain that goal. As it is, yes, it is not poor - it is poor because it cannot hold itself together. Like the other post mentioned, its African killing fellow African because they're from another tribe. Its African killing fellow African to get what big corporations are offering them - less than 1% of what they really should own. All the violence, all the pain, and all the turmoil it is experiencing has not ended because of so many things.
People are generally acting like the past Kings of Wakanda - which is fictional mind you. These are your warlords, fighting against each other - extracting the resources to buy weapons and they're all playing the colonizers game of buying the weapons of the military-industrial complex. Blood Diamonds, blood gold, blood oil - you name it.
Yes, Africa is not poor because of a lack of resource. Africa is poor because it is not united in peace.
I laugh at my continent when foreigners call us poor.
You said right, Africa is not poor, we visited your country last year, it was fun.
With abundant natural resources, but unfortunately Africa has been plagued by prolonged hostility to this day, I am very worried that the people there cannot enjoy so many natural products.
With very fertile soil conditions and abundant agricultural products such as: corn, coffee, beans, Ethiopia and many others.
Such as: chrome, gas, oil, gold, platinum, tin etc.
This is a sign that the African continent is indeed a super natural continent of its wealth.
I am personally proud of the kind and friendly African community.
I hope that hostilities in Africa are fleeting and people can live in peace and peace.
Greetings Africa. Peace.
Africa is certainly the most exploited continent. I do think it is also the poorest continent, but this is because Western nations have exploited Africa remorselessly for hundreds of years. Africa certainly has huge natural resources, and would be much wealthier were it not for Western interference.
A bit of a tangent, but Africa does suffer from geography to an extent. There is a question as to why in the past Africa has struggled to develop as quickly as other nations. I think this is due to the fact that the river system is not easily navigable. Particularly compared to say the USA, which has easy river navigation throughout the country. Africa's major rivers on the other hand have frequent disruption from waterfalls and rapids, which significantly hampers trade and development. Apologies if I'm veering off-topic slightly, but I think this is an important point historically.

I think that the West doesn't call Africa poor as a continent but as each and every economy on this continent.
African Soil is full of rich elements which can provide a lot of money to countries. It is about their leaders who want to keep their citizens poor. If you want a change you have to change and reform your whole society.
Well technically South Africa and Libya were pretty good, Qaddafi had water in the desert from the Man Made River Project
Of course that all went south down there.

Zimbabwe is a mess internet access restricted, president flew away to Russia after making a tax hike on oil prices, that said resource rich development poor.
On the bright side at least they have China wanting a piece of it, that will force raise the bar by extension of competition.
China will not let the US destroy their interests and China will not yield giving Africa a chance.

That is to confirm that African continent is rich but the major problem that has led to her underdevelopment is foreign countries coming to reap where they have not plants anything in the of they are coming to help her.

show me wheel invention date by tribe, selection of mean of exchange, political organization, legal framework, etc... but the wheel is the funniest.
Name me some African brands... Natural resources aren't indicators of country wealth
Given the state of the continent it's probably a good indicator of mismanagement and political corruption.
They let other government decide for their future so they decide to rape them. What African countries need are people who has nationalism and has compassion to its people but has the political will of the Xi Jin Ping. Right now they flood the people with democracy being good but what does it do if without boundaries? The Chinese are already starting to help these nations though, these are the good guys. They are not going to kill your presidents.
Africa has a lot of miniral resources,but the western and Asian countries are milking it resources,drastic action need to be taken
This is good. Why? Because most of the Africans aren't interested in advancing to the status of humanitarian, where they progress to using African resources for themselves.
Somebody should use the natural resources. If Africans won't, why just let the resources sit there? Rather, let someone else develop them.

One way to see if a place is "poor" or "rich" is to see how well they have preserved their most valuable things. If a people are poor, they have to sell the family heirlooms. The most valuable things on the planet are: the arable land, the healthy rivers and ecosystems, the biodiversity. These are without a doubt the gems which are not a fad but are irreplaceable. Some places on the earth have turned themselves into deserts such as the midwest USA, deforested, killed the river dolphins, etc, different problems all over. Looking at the map, it appears that much of Africa has had the wherewithal to not destroy itself with industrialization and suburbatardation. In this regard, I see the African continent as perhaps the wealthiest on the planet.
I have a friend in Ethiopia. He and his family have been living there for more than 10 years, now. Ethiopia alone has, like, 70 different tribal nations within it. And a whole bunch of them are against the others.
Another friend has been there (Africa) with his big guns. He favors Central African Republic, or Mozambique, because he and his buddies have the guns... although that is changing somewhat.
When you get a few shrewd African leaders who have brains, they make a whole bunch of money helping other nations to African wealth, often slave wealth.
Check out "Tippu Tip, or Tippu Tib (1832 – June 14, 1905), real name Hamad bin Muhammad bin Juma bin Rajab el Murjebi... " - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tippu_Tip. Africa has a wealth of stupidity that won't allow them to unite against the rest of the world.
Clive Cussler wrote a novel, Sahara, that shows you what it is all about. Check out the movie at https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0318649/.
EDIT: And check out Western Sahara, a country that is so dumb that they can't even form their own nation. Morocco is gradually taking it over. But Mauritania, who said they withdrew their claims decades ago, is moving back along the SouthWest border of WS. And even Algeria wants a piece of the action, although they won't say it formally. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Western_Sahara.

you are basically calling us Africans a bunch of monkeys who cant live on their own ? thats some bs all what the devolped counries did was make africa suffer. it would have been much better without what they are calling 'help'.
Saw a recent post saying Africans are been help too much well I don't think so, instead what I see is the so called helpers taking advantage of the continent Africa all in the name of helping them. When you want to help someone you teach them how to fish not by giving them fish. These nations help with their right hand and take away more with their left hand, you call that help?
Africa need the help of the developed countries to survive in every aspects, take for example some of the African countries after gaining independent go straight into civil war what is the cause of this, the answer is simple greedy leaders who know nothing to how to steal government found without providing the necessary infrastructure that will enable development.
