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.
