When it comes to the natural resources, Africa is highly rich. However, the technology and human resources of Africa is not yet advance compared to other continents in the world. In addition, corruption in the side of the government is still occurring in every part of the continent. I have friends who work in South Africa and Madagascar. They have told how life is much worse for the poor in these countries. But the bottomline of this is that, they can be developed or they have the potential to grow in the next years. I believe that Africa will soon awake because of its hidden resources.
If they prioritize education, then they will be able to come up with better technology. The problem here is that the rapid growth of population necessitates the prioritization of food and healthcare over education. And when they do that the technological advance is blocked. And as a result, they will be left with just the raw products and not the finished goods. In order to convert the raw materials to final product, they need advanced technology. So for that they need to depend on foreign countries.

I'm from Africa but I can boldly says some of the things you highlighted aren't true about Africa as continent. Our major problem is bad leadership, otherwise we have the availability of natural reseources that can sustain our economy. Crude oil has been the prime mover of my country as over 70% of GDP is generated from that sector. The challenge is corruption and greed by our leadership has done more harm to individuals in every country, a situation where a minister and a senator siphoning millions that are meant for the masses is lock and pocketed by one person, I don't think there will be development in such countries. We hope for revolution by the youth to free us from this bondage of leadership.

Knowing that Africa don't have any capabilities and with corrupt leaders they continue to suffer. They are good as they've got rich in natural resources but they don't have advance knowledge and system to take advantages of everything. It takes time, but the willingness of their people to learn and to have dedicated leaders will make all of this to happen and increase the potential of this nations.

I have seen a lot of posts in this thread claiming that Africa is very rich in natural resources. There is no doubt that Africa has a lot of natural resources, which are waiting to be extracted. But this abundance can be an advantage, as well as a curse. Take the case of Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). It is one of the major sources of copper, diamonds, coltan and cassiterite. But this has resulted in foreign powers supporting various militias inside the DRC, in order to take control of these mining operations.

Yes, African countries are improving in the areas of Education, economic and infrastructure that is going on show that African is developing with the strategies on ground. African leaders are joining hands together to move African forward by fighting corruption in all over the countries. The leaders accepted to legalized Bitcoin all over the countries to support their economy and to improve the bitcoin users to make more profit from their investment.

African countries will improve but it will take a long time for bitcoin to gain legitimacy they know nothing about the use of bitcoin due to lack of adequate education most people in africa are poor and cannot meet their basic needs. But china along with the united states has come a long way in improving these countries.

I have seen good progress in terms of crypto currency wherein there are start up crypto projects already in the market and making progress towards the adoption on crypto currency that already did a small part of teaching fellow Africans regarding about in crypto space. Africa has great potential because of its abundance of resources and only lacking are the right people who will help make the necessary steps towards the development.

The charity organizations are doing it mostly for PR. They are not interested in the long-term benefit of the Africans. As you posted, they want to make the natives dependent on them for food and other necessities. If they really want to help the Africans, then rather than providing food aid, they should provide quality education and agricultural equipment. Food aid is just an eyewash, to get rid of the surplus agricultural stock in Western nations.

The corruption what made the life of citizens worse the existing politicians there didn't bother to upgrade things to make their people educated or to know more about the latest technology, maybe if they will put a good person on the higher office which aims for betterment of his country for sure Africa will get a high potential to be developed and compete with other rich countries.
Yeah, education plays an important role in choosing leaders too actually because it is easy to fool a mob of uneducated people while an educated person will always give vote to leader who has vision rather than false promises. Africa has such a good nature resources core and despite that they have such dire times that people are dying of hunger that simply shows lack of concern from the leaders for their countrymen and having poor vision. If only they started to utilize their natural resources and mineral resources in a better way than they could have one of the best economies in world right now. Actually I never heard any major technological achievement coming from any African nation either so feels like lack of education is the primary reason behind which is the poor leadership.

China is one interesting exception economy-wise, but they may project prosperity a lot more than may be experiencing it. For one, they have built giant ghost cities as a way to spur economic development, but there is not enough natural economic activity to support populating those cities and it may take decades to grow into them. Their control on information makes it difficult to assess. But for sure they posture like every other country to project strength that may not actually be there.
Yeah.. there are ghost cities in almost every province of China, and the Western media has covered some of these stories. The demand was there when these housing units were being constructed, but a sudden economic slump meant that there are few takers. And this is also one of the reasons why China is focusing on Africa. For them, Africa is a glowing economy, compared to China where it is at near saturation level. China's investment in Africa is part of their road and belt initiative which is a central tenet in their foreign policy. They are essentially trying to develop international trade with China at the center by creating the infrastructure in less developed countries and orienting their trading disposition to Beijing. It is an attempt to become an economic super power like the United States. Unfortunately under Trump, what was a terrible hand to begin with has deteriorated so much more over the past 4 years. The US has never been weaker on the world stage in the post-WWII era.

Actually I never heard any major technological achievement coming from any African nation either so feels like lack of education is the primary reason behind which is the poor leadership. That's why some politicians don't prioritize education and create a huge gap between poor people and rich people. In that way, the country will continuously become poor because it's full of uneducated people and greedy politicians that take advantage of the others. Education really plays a great part in our society and we should feel great if we have a good background education, we can easily determine right and wrong. If there's no huge gap between poor and rich people, I guess countries will become rich if they're cooperating and helping each other.

I would disagree with the Trump part. IMO, the decline started much earlier. Trump was in power for less than 4 years and China started dominating the African market at least two decades ago. But I agree with the first part. The Chinese thinking is very simple. They want to get hold of the rich natural resources in Africa and then they want to export the finished products to the same region. This is the main purpose of the road and belt initiative.
