@altafrayeen . The main reason is bad leadership. Africa is a very bless with hugh natural resources. But some of the leaders are corrupt, greedy and lack the passion to get their people out of poverty. I feel if Africa get the right leadership combine with the natural resources such as crude oil, good farmlands, solid minerals and human resources the continent has ; then Africa will be the best continent anybody will like to stay in.

I'm afraid you're right here. So many African countries are potentially rich but poor in reality because of bad leadership.

@minders1 I beg to differ, lf i gave an African $10 today,he will drink it with friends same day.If l gave an African a project (let`s say write me 10 comments a day in myLot for money) he might do it 1-2 days, after that it will be excuse and excuse.If l gave someone in Asia/Europe the same project,they will even be the one to tell me it`s done.And they will not stop till l say ok the project is over

I do not think there is one easy answer. Some of Africa's problems go back to years and years of control and oppression by other nations and countries. The people were oppressed and enslaved while the land was raped. However, other problems go back to corruption by African leaders as well as continuous warfare between ethnic groups, tribes and rulers. It is very sad what has happened and continues to happen in Africa.

Only in Africa? Are you sure poverty is every where. Don't want to say but a specific religion is the reason for poverty

other country rulers like the britishers that have ruined the country so bad in the past and the growing inflation throughout the world may be one of the reasons
