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 Angry

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.
