Africa with so much endowed natural resources but remains the poorest. Solutions

There is only one solution to the African problems! Keep the western influence out of the country. Their corruption is sky high and 99% of the leadership is running their countries under western influence.

All the civil wars are funded by the west through their leadership. So if they really want to prosper, they have to throw out western influence and the current leadership.

everyone has the same opportunity. then every country or continent has the same opportunities as other continents.
So the opportunity to become a developed country is the same. that is, every country has the opportunity. However, the process towards progress is not an easy thing.
in addition there must be good cooperation between government and society in a country. Skills and knowledge are also needed in building an advanced civilization in a country. because to take advantage of the natural resources available in a country requires knowledge about them.
then common awareness is needed in this regard. namely the community must be aware of the importance of an education and its importance in exploring knowledge. and this is also where the government must support and focus on building a more knowledgeable young generation so that extraordinary potentials grow in the future that will bring change and build the country into a more advanced era.

but we often see many emerging geniuses with good knowledge and even make a discovery. but the government does not support this potential. and finally other countries have the courage to pay these geniuses to work in their country. and finally the country that respects the genius is the one that is progressing now.
so that is the important role of the government in supporting and appreciating the works and discoveries made by the people.

Africa have lot of natural resources. The poor public management and corruption is the major reason for the poor situation of the continent. The available natural resources should boost the economy, but things happen in the opposite way. Corruption exists from the top to bottom of the public management which slow the economy and never lets poor people get the support and funding from the government.

Available natural resources should increase revenue, but here this leads to violence, corruption, environmental degradation and poverty. Most importantly if the government concentrate on providing good health care the countries will grow better in economy than the past.

Actually poverty is experienced everywhere else not only in Africa, we has seen poverty in Europe, Asia, Middle East, south and North America. But the picture is always painted better to people to see Africa as the center of poverty. Yes there is extreme poverty in Africa and family living on incredible low daily spending. But that's the picture always painted.

The cause of the poverty is majorly neglected and not highlighted enough the extreme corruption from government of such countries goes on deaf ears on the international scenes, just many people showing how rich they are when they give aids that only temporary solves the situation.

Natural resources are still particularly abundant in Siberia and the Far East. But the indigenous peoples there also live very poorly, because these resources are appropriated and unfairly disposed of by the central government from the Kremlin. However, it seems that the situation there may change very soon. The war of conquest unleashed by Russia in Ukraine ends in a shameful defeat, and this will significantly weaken the power of the Kremlin. This means that the indigenous peoples of Russia, who were kept in obedience by force of arms, will have a historical chance to gain independence. And then it may turn out that there will be neither oil nor gas in Russia, because they are not in the central part of Russia.

My opinion on this topic concerning Africa will always be the same, and that is our leaders, they are the major problems responsible for more than half of the poverty and insecurity in major African countries.
We know how to elect leaders that are clueless, lawless and full of greed and selfishness, this leaders mismanage our resources and funds, loot public funds and never fulfill their campaign promises...

To make Africa great, I would suggest we first of all, get it right in electing leaders that will lead us, once we are able to achieve this successfully, I personally believe that fifty percent of the problems in Africa will be solved in poverty and insecurity.

The West try to influence us so they can keep extracting our resources..

We need to be free of their influence and be independent in our national decision making

Technology
We have to invest in technology to improve innovation

We have to explore more of our immense natural resources

Corruption
Our growth is affected by corruption, a transparent Africa will be massive in development..

Leadership, Africa need a young leadership to lead us

We need unify currency to ease trade

We need to bring insecurity to the barest minimum..

Do you really think that resources are an indicator of development or independence? Until African countries understand that the resource economy is the lot of third world countries! Even modern Russia is a third world resource country, with the only difference - it was lucky to receive a legacy from the USSR in the form of nuclear weapons. The modern world has changed, and resources that were in demand 50 years ago are now leaving the position of "TOP resources". Africa needs to attract investments, develop technologies, the agricultural sector! Africa has potential, and the only question is, which path will Africa choose? Continue the path of degradation and the resource economy, or enter the world market with those "resources" for which the future? The decision is only for the countries of Africa!
