This is not meant to be an offensive post, I am genuinely curious as to why Africa is so far behind the rest of the world.

The Roman Empire had running water, amenities, reliable shelter and clothing for its entire populace 2,000 years ago. 2,000 FRIGGIN YEARS AGO. They created art, sculptures, vast architecture using 2,000 YEAR OLD technology yet if you go to a random area in Africa, it is plagued by poverty, destitution and just overall squalor.

Why is Africa 2000+ years behind the rest of the world and what can be done to correct this??

Because of their geographical location ?
Their land always dry and almost drought every season

Obviously you've never flown over the African continent...

Check it out on Google Earth just for fun.

When I read that I was like WTF? What kind of basic, basic education people get? Grin
