Topic: Will African countries be developed? - page 5. (Read 1654 times)
Africa is one of the largest continent wherein it's still not highly developed yet in terms of technology and digital currencies. Despite all that they are trying the best they can to get to that spot with the efforts from people who wanted changes and progress for their people to have a better living. In terms of crypto adoption, they have progress on that wherein there are some african crypto projects are now in the market fulfilling the vast dream on educating their people on digital currencies. I truly believe that dream will become a reality soon enough.
Africa is a continent with very beautiful natural treasures, abundant natural resources. Besides that many stars were born from Africa. football players for example, many good talents come from this continent. With the right management and governance, Africa can be better in the future.
IF they would be able to fight corruption, they could easily end the poverty of the country but the ones fighting those are still weak. As far as I know, there are a lot of small stores in the country and that also we're flooded with bribery, we're talking about millions of money from bribery.
A lot of the people say that the population density in Africa is very low and therefore the continent can sustain a rapidly growing population. But I would differ. Around half of the total area is composed of desert (Sahara, Kalahari, Namib.etc) or other arid regions. And a large part of the remainder is consisted of equatorial rainforest which is uninhabitable. An increasing population would mean the destruction of natural vegetation, which can have disastrous impact on the rainfall and fertility of the soil.
Simple answer to your question: Yes, why not?! But there are couple of things that is holding it I reckon. Education, political evolution and religious superstitions etc. I think it's just a matter of time.
It will take more than time, it will take a lot of effort within African countries and from outer countries as well.Those who are in the good place right now should help it to be more developed.
Its a rough topic, but I'd say USA took a lot from African countries back in the days and am glad that they're trying to help them now
Many countries around the world, including the United States are helping to improve Africa. They are being given a lot of help not only in terms of education but also in terms of treatment. Various ailments lead them to worse conditions. Another major achievement of the continent has been the eradication of diseases such as AIDS tuberculosis and malaria. Mosquito repellent is helping to reduce malaria Anti-HIV drugs are now easily available In particular arrangements are made to protect the unborn baby from infection and for pregnant mothers to live near the hospital shortly before delivery. They can easily get medicine and treatment All in all Africa is on the path of development.
People in africa not ready to develop thier countries. Maybe they will be ready after another 100-200 years
I see you have a huge knowledge about Africa! So people there can expect life to get better in next 200 years? I can't believe what you wrote!
I can't believe what many people wrote here in this topic. Before you wrote anything why don't you try to research a topic, gather some basic info at least. You people just wrote like you talk about toys. Well people live there, their families, everything, they have soul and hearts as all others, and why are they on this level now ask Europe and GB, ask US, ask big corporations that keeps them as slaves for hundreds of years.

Priorities differ. Ethnic and religious loyalties are very strong in Africa. And this means that a certain group of people would support a politician even if he is accused of criminal activity or corruption, simply because he belongs to their own ethnic group. Muhammadu Buhari of Nigeria, José Eduardo dos Santos of Angola, Tedodoro Obiang Nguema Mbasogo of Eq. Guinea and Mohamed Abdullahi Farmaajo of Somalia are good examples.

African nations have to be developed and they will have to choose investors for their countries smarter. In the past and present, African countries are being utilized by multinationals and other governments to utilize natural resources. Very few companies invest. African countries need food produced at home, they need to invest in education, invest in health, invest in infrastructure, and light industries.
National development is a process and they have to be economically autonomous, create an economy, not an agreement of exchange. Their values come from their country.

There are several factors you need to consider in order to determine what makes Africa a third-world country. Their geographical location, type of government, and political influences play a huge role on why they are considered to be a third-world country even now. Do not get me wrong, there are other countries in Africa that are relatively thriving but most countries are below the poverty lane.
The development of technology and the advancement of a country inevitably happens overtime. In the case of Africa, the progress might be slow but they have been developing their infrastructures and technology in their own pace. Eventually, they would be able to adapt into accepting cryptocurrencies and taking such opportunity in order to maximize their income.
In theory, diamond and gold mining should play into the hands of developing countries, and other minerals, such as oil, will not give much results, since we all see what is happening in the oil market, too much of it has already been mined and it becomes no one needed in such a large volume.

Also it's war on drugs and rhe prevalence of drug addictions in all the classes of the African community is a major problem, the money laundering, call scams and on top of it the fake medicines that are being distributed in the African countries. I also think that the African countries will be developed in the future, just like China which no one thought that it will become an economic superpower in such a short amount of time and it was once fighting hunger and diseases and poverty just like the situation Africa is in. Education should be the first priority, then nutrition. The problem with Africa is they have a corrupt and incompetent leader, the only example that I could think of is Rwanda's Paul Kagame, yes it is a dictatorship but he has an efficient way of managing the country. Another overlooked problem is the tribe's rivalry like what happened in Sudan and other countries in Africa, if these problem could be resolved then much of the violence will be quashed on the spot. Another problem is terrorism in Africa, good thing about that is many countries are helping in destroying these to help Africa.
Africa is a gold mine, that is constantly pillaged by greedy foreigners and I hope that one day they will flourish.

Ethnic issues get top priority in Africa, because most of the nations are heterogeneous (except a few such as Somalia and Cape Verde). And as a result of rapidly exploding population, there is always a competition for natural resources between various ethnic groups in the continent. Europeans, who hail from homogeneous countries won't be able to understand this situation.

Many countries from African continent has the potential to become developed but their natural resources are not used in the right way, people are ignorant there and also leaders becomes dictator and so much of chaos in those countries which lead them to be in such a bad situation even after having everything.Maybe next generation will make them to be, just a hope.
And that next generation should be properly educated.
Right education will give them the power to choose what is best for their country.
Also, if corruption will be addressed but that will be a very challenging part for those that will govern their country.
It is somewhat innate to their culture already, why corruption is hard to eradicate in their system.
Til then, I don't know how they can work in a more progressive way that will truly benefit their government.

Africa, a continent to billion of people, having many agricultural and mineral resources, it is home to many tourist centers. Africa is located in region not subjected to many natural diseasters like earth quake and hurricane. Africa so blessed to be a continent that can run on its own with the natural resources they have.

Despite all natural resources embedded in Africa, they are always lacking and behind other continents. Most if not all the countries in Africa are regarded as third world country (poor nations). Why are Africa countries remaining underdeveloped or developing when they have what they can use to grow and develop.
In Africa, getting good education is not easy, rich people and the so called politicians are getting quality education for their children abroad, if they are ill, they travel oversea for treatment, good example are the governors and presidents in Africa including their relative, they make the Africa hospitals not suitable and good enough for medical teatments, that is why many Africa medical practitioners are travelling oversea and never coming back too. Corruption, nepotism and thinking of their families but not multitudes has devastated Africa into a poor standard of living nations. After all these, Africa countries lack employment while most that are employed are underemployed, making them to be poor countries truly. There have always been persistent increases in inflation, this makes me conclude African leaders are not capable to making their countries to be developed.
What makes me more sad about all these is that Africa countries can not make use of what they have properly (natural resources), and now the world has moved more towards technology, how will Africa properly handle what they are lacking. Technology wise, Africans are nothing in the world for now.
I am just thinking if all these can change, I wish many Africa countries to be developed. What can possibly lead to Africa countries getting advanced so the quality of living in the continent will improve?

Everything you wrote concerning Africa is absolutely true. They have all they need to get they want.
I recently watched an interview of a man from UAE, the man mentioned the fact that although Dubia doesn't have half of the resources of Africa, it has managed to developed itself and made a name for itself internationally and he attributed all these development to the leadership of the country.
I believe the only way for Africa to be as developed as first world countries is good leadership and governance. This is the only major obstacle facing Africa
Africa is a continent with very beautiful natural treasures, abundant natural resources. Besides that many stars were born from Africa. football players for example, many good talents come from this continent. With the right management and governance, Africa can be better in the future.
there are countries like Somalia which is a strategic enough to be developed in the area but still the country isn;t improving well. the location of it is right where the maritime vessels go towards Mediterranean sea. the vessels has to pass by Somalia up to Egypt's canal, they can actually make money through this passage but the government seem not doing well here. instead, their people becomes pirates.
Africa is better place with resources than the above Sahara, more abundant than the sandy terrain. it might just be developed with Chinese investors.
