Topic: Will African countries be developed? - page 4. (Read 1654 times)
Africa was a very developed country but this effect is due to the inequality between the rich and the poor. Much improved in terms of production system including agriculture of poor people. Unaccountable American and European agrochemical and seed companies are helping Africans to develop. We need global trade financial and justice to reassert Africa's position in the global economy and give us the opportunity to build our future democratically which will help them improve.
It will always start with one person. If they will be able to at least elect a competent and empathetic leaders, African countries will surely be developed. Leader who understand what the problem and what the country needs, development will surely follow. This is also why i think Africa should invest on improving their education to raise new gen. The continent is already blessed with natural resources, the only thing they need is to know how utilize it to its full potential and it will start with competent leaders.
To be fair, Africa had its share of good leaders. Examples are Nelson Mandela, Kwame Nkrumah, Patrice Lumumba and Thomas Sankara. Apart from Mandela, most of them were assassinated by the Western powers, when they attempted to free the natural resources of their country from the foreign corporations. Sankara in particular was targeted by France, after he had a fight with the French president François Mitterand. Lumumba on the other hand was finished off by the Belgians, after he tried to nationalize some of the mining assets in Congo. These leaders were replaced with puppet-leaders who are loyal to the Western powers. In case of Sankara, he was succeeded by the pro-French dictator Blaise Compaoré. Lumumba was replaced with the corrupt US-puppet Mobutu Sese Seko.
Yes, they will. but there are some conditions for development of each country. The most important part is the management and the government ruling the country if the government manage the natural resources and human resources perfectly you can see a huge progress there. Also, unfortunately due to some old mistakes many people are stuck in old fashion traditional lifestyle and religion stuff. Which is too bad for the development. However, all these problems can be solved by educating the new generation of the people, that's why many charitable organizations are taking care of education stuff.

China carried out colonialization 5.0 through the OBOR program, while other developed countries exploited through the IMF, World Bank, WTO and In addition to the debt trap, developed countries led by America also carried out middle income traps to many countries, for their own interests, so that they can still ensure market availability for their manufactured products.
China and other countries are equally oppressing developing and poor countries, it's just that in different ways, China uses sharp power while America uses hard power. In fact, many countries can play free and active politics without leaning towards China or America, it's just that many countries think that foreign debt is the solution to all economic problems, but debt makes a country lose its sovereignty.

It doesn't matter whether they are using soft-power or hard-power. In the end, the ordinary Africans are suffering as the precious natural resources are getting looted. Only a few corrupt African politicians are profiting out of this, while the vast majority of the ordinary citizens live in abject poverty. Even in the old-rich nations such as Nigeria, Angola and Gabon, most of the population lives below the poverty line.
It's not just China. Other countries such as France and the UK are also doing the same. You can see that most of the mining and timber industry in Africa is under the ownership of European or American corporations. They export the raw materials to the factories in their own countries and manufacture high-end products using these raw materials. The Africans are gaining very little from this. China started offering slightly favorable terms to the Africans and that is the reason why some of the countries started preferring Chinese investment.

China managed to trap lot of countries in the debt run, and the list of countries are huge in numbers that is lot of trade wars going between China and USA to prove their dominance over the other countries.Maybe the real trap will be felt by the next generation people and they will become modern day slaves to the Chinese government permanently.If there is any country avoiding the Chinese influence in their nation then better keep doing that to save their nation from Chinese government.

Yes, it could really be possible for African countries to be developed if they would just know how to manage and maximize their resources and make use of it to make their countries experience prosperity for the fact that they have the resources on their surrounding, they must have been able to make some improvements and developments already at the first place if they have gained proper education so that they would be knowledgeable enough to do what is needed for them to be able to make into realization that they can change the economic status of their place.
Actually this is true. Corruption is the most difficult thing to get rid off for it is present in any government system because of greedy individuals making use of the people's money and claiming it as their own making the whole country suffer. If this would be resolved on every space in this world, not just African countries could be developed but as well as many other countries for corruption is the number 1 crime killing a certain place economy. Also, there must be a coordination between people and government to be able to create ways on how they could make certain development that would benefit all.
The most difficult thing to die is corruption.

What can possibly lead to Africa countries getting advanced so the quality of living in the continent will improve?
The most difficult thing to die is corruption. So is better to avoid it in a country because once it appears, it builds it stem and starts growing with branches and leaves. This is one good thing about some Arab countries that have zero tolerance and capital punishment to corruption.
How it can go off is by two ways. The first is through the people in government by having the will to follow the law on people proved to be corrupt. Another is by the people taking power by themselves like the Arab spring in Africa recently through Egypt, Tunisia and Libya.
I think the question is mainly on who is going to develop the countries, the government they have there are not doing their jobs in making their countries look better. I have heard about the akoin and Akon city and I also read about their plans of creating an example for the government if the project should be a success.
The way I see it, even that projects is successful, the government there are not ready to do anything to help their country, they are not interested in making their country a better place, they prefer to get on the political seat and use the power and opportunity they have gotten to suck money from the people.

The development of one country like Africa is depend on the hands of their leader with the help of their community. But if corruption is rampant specially to the leaders of their country and the people are lazy and don't want to make their life better, then i can say that it's difficult for this country to become well develop unlike other countries.
The country that was once a Developed Country in Africa was Libya by being the 17th largest oil producer in the world but collapsed due to civil war. besides that, there are the Seychelles countries whose natural resources are produced from plantations (vanilla, copra and cinnamon), and tourism which can be exported to several countries. there is the country of Mauritius, an island nation in the southwest of the Indian Ocean. With the economic resources of Agriculture, Tourism, and Industry, this country has a Development Value of around 0.804 in 2007. This proves that Africa can actually be a developed continent but needs to be built and improved from human resources in order to create and maintain
Development in African countries will be very fast because of China's OBOR project, but development does not mean growth for African countries because the OBOR system owned by China makes growth and movement in China, not in African countries. In terms of infrastructure, African countries will experience significant progress and even seem forced, even though GDP increases, but in the GDP of African countries there is China's GNP. Many African countries are aware that they have been trapped in China's trap, some are wondering what happened, but there are also those who refuse to join the BRI project, which in fact is colonial 5.0 using sharp power.
Some African countries should pay attention not only to high technology, which brings good profits, but also to production, as well as agriculture, which would provide the local population with basic necessities. I repeatedly come across information that in some African countries people are too lazy to grow crops, the harvest of which they would receive at least twice a year, but at the same time it is easier for them to eat bread from palm leaves, which do not need to be grown. no effort. I believe that it is absurd, if you can have your own, hope for the help of the UN.

Well, just like you've said, in Africa, we are truly blessed, with all the natural resources and the lands almost free off every form of natural disaster, what else can we possibly ask for?
But the problem of Africa is its people, our mentality plays a major role in the underdevelopment we are experiencing today when other continents are advancing and changing rapidly, our leaders are not only the problem we have, we ourselves have also become a problem to ourselves, if you are African, check within yourself and your environment, you will understand what i mean.
Using Nigeria as an example, A man ones said that if for instance, Nigerians are asked to move to America, and Americans are asked to move to Nigeria, don't be surprised that in 10 years to come or even less, Americans will turn Nigeria to the world's richest country, and in the same 10 years or less, Nigerians will turn America to one of the poorest countries of the world.
This is why i said it all boils down to mentality, the way Africans reason is majorly the cause of what we are experiencing in Africa today.

There is even more than that, because of the corrupt leadership there is lack of opportunities for the prepared people in the continent...
To be honest with you, corruption isn't the exclusive preserve of the Africa continent. It cuts across other continents but the difference with others is the punishment for corruption. Leaders in Africa don't have the political will to do the right thing when they stand alone. The tendency to perpetually crave luxurious goods and material gains have made them monsters to their people whose collective wealth they plunder. In the US, it's do the crime, do the time because the US and most of Europe have strong and organized institutions that take care of such unlawful acts.I second this. And they need foreign investors to investment in their land but no one will invest where there is no security.
Security and politics are some of the reasons why investors normally avoid Africa. Investors pour their hard earned money in to risky projects, so that they may get a return after 10 or 20 years. But in the past, there were incidents of radical governments nationalizing these ventures without providing enough compensation to the foreign investors. As of now, China is perhaps the only country that is actively investing in Africa.
We can say that Africa is blessed with natural resources, but these resources won't work on their own to improve African countries. For me, one of the primary reason is corruption. It's already given that they have resources that can be their asset but because of mismanagement and corruption of some people, the people can't benefit from it. With corruption, there is a lack of education, health care system, and development because they don't prioritize it. Also, wars, terrorism, and other conflicts are visible in African countries that are also one of the factors.
So I guess in order to slowly fix the problems, they need to have good and efficient authorities to lead them.

African countries were the wealthiest compared to most grown countries. The mistake done by the rulers in the past have made the countries to be poor forever. Even now it has got more resources accumulated, but the rulers were doing the same thing as the past. Very few African countries have got good leaders, while majority are into complete corruption. They never look for the country's growth, the family wealth is much concerned.
