Agree with you. Their suffering occurs because international capitalism is carried out by developed countries and poor countries become fields that are always exploited by developed countries.

So what keeps poor countries poor is developed countries and they don't want poor countries to get better because it doesn't benefit them.

This is not capitalism. This is colonialism you are talking about. Colonialism and capitalism were closely connected in the last few centuries, but  I don't believe that colonialism and capitalism are the same thing. You seem like one of the guys, who blame capitalism for everything.
Why don't the African countries build a bunch of communist egalitarian societies with a government owned command driven economy?
Completely removing capitalism out of the equation will solve the problem. Right? Grin What could possibly go wrong?
Do you really believe that African countries will become developed if the western countries suddenly disappear?

Colonialism no longer exists, colonialism has been abolished since 1945.

Even though colonialism has been long abolished, we can not still deny the many effects that we still see until now.

In countries that have been colonized, we see it every day with their culture and language. Some of the things in their country can only be explained if the context of colonialism gets brought up. Most importantly we see huge impact of colonial mentality where people of one country think anything foreign is better/best.

Capitalism has its disadvantages but if you are part of the rich class, it benefits you the most. As much as I am aware of these disadvantages, I also find myself succumbing into capitalism myself from time to time.
