@@michaelmiller1060 it does it’s independent but even before colonialism took place Africa as a continent was economically unedeveloped and most countries poorly run politically. Actually colonialism helped Africa as a continent in a lot of ways to develope economically but also in a lot of ways really damaged it with the drawing lines between different countries, so many languages and politics and the taking of African countries revenues - but to say it was much better before is untrue it was worse before and just as bad after I think most African countries are just really unmanageable countries similiar to the Middle East the political jobs are just poison chalices as there’s so much issues to sort out in most countries!
@@mickeymouse3933 Yeah they've done incredible amounts of damage and strolled trillions from Africa but it was politcally worse and not united at all before.
I’m a Nigerian (West African).

@Gingerbreadman GanjaFarmer I'm an American. Yes we have plenty of corruption. But you still get plenty of government services and the corruption doesn't stop you from from easily doing business. When the corruption is soo bad that a rich government is not providing services and conducting business is such a headache that most say "screw this I can't succeed here" like in Nigeria. Then that is a major problem. That is the difference of corruption in Nigeria. It is so bad it is crippling and stops all progress.
If Africans focus more on business, investment, and academics (including medicine) rather than politics, could they spark a new economic boom that could provide more jobs and feed the poor?
What's important is policy. They love communism and socialism here. The African leaders of today know very little of legislation, or political theory, that actually works because most of them haven't seen it from their forefathers. They only know the politics of villages that were ruled by chiefs and haven't had proper parliamentary experience. South Africa elected a man, who can be appreciated for his part in the struggle, but hadn't finished high school. This guy had TWO terms, was in a fraud case BEFORE being elected. A friend of mine just shrugged it off when I compared it to the Clinton/Lewinsky case and how Clinton was set aside because of his indiscretions. Two terms later the country is in junk status, economically. The irony, the guy they kicked out had a PhD in economics and he was well spoken and a hard worker. The people lack education and moral decency. The leaders lack a real love for their nations and have an unquenchable thirst for power. All of that other stuff is secondary. They don't want to do anything or they don't know what to do.
I'm in South Africa, the problem is laziness, entitlement, corruption, greed and a complete and utter lack of any sense of: urgency, responsibilty, accountability, pride or introspection. Basically, "someone else will do it" or, "its not my job", and of course the perennial, "it's apartheid's fault".
@Default User There is no least evolved or most evolved, that's not how evolution works. They just have evolved in the wrong direction, from our perspective. Intelligence and humanity clearly isn't important at all in sexual selection - it's all about raw power and aggression. This is why their continent is the way it is.

The problem of Africa is and will still be the people that reside in Africa. -Africans that are not eager to learn, or find a way to change their mindset, -Africans that spend their whole life criticizing politicians thinking that development happens in one day, -Africans that still cry about colonization or what the white man is doing while a lot of countries moved on since decades. Why can't we focus on ourselves? We really need to be disciplined first no matter which way we will arrive to that.

1 word: taxes. Im in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia right now. In the part of the city that I'm staying now, I notice most goods are sold through street vendors that set up tents and want to haggle over the price. Most of which don't pay taxes. They take up so much space but bring no income to the state. Therefore, the state, has no money to build or even maintain the infrastructure. So the governments are reaching out to China to help them fund (loans) and build the infrastructures for them.
Ashen Empress Not all empires are created equal. The "kingdoms" that arose in Africa are particularly unimpressive. They didn't contribute anything significant to the world around them, and they failed to create a competent, or enduring political infrastructure. There was almost no technological/cultural advancement. As far Egypt is concerned, it's hardly an African civilization in the sense that he's talking about in the video. It has more in common with West Asia than it does the rest of Africa, and that difference shows to this day.
Actually it was. Timbuktu and the Mali empire were centers of intellect and commerce while Europeans were dying left and right from the plague because they only washed their hairy asses once a year
daniel yasin Africa has the most diverse skin tone in the world.You will find different colours of different shades of skin indigenous to the continent;the lighter shades being admittedly few and far between but African in origin all the same. You will also do well to discard the notion that all dark toned skin somehow has its origins in Africa.
South African here: I believe it's time for us to have honest conversations about the challenges we face as a community. Our struggles are not rooted in our skin color but in the cultural values and practices we've allowed to define "Black Culture." While aspects of this culture celebrate resilience and creativity too often, it also perpetuates behaviors and mindsets that hinder progress and development. To uplift Africa, we must embrace a culture of intellectual growth, emotional intelligence, and adaptability. The values we pass down and uphold the need to prioritize education, critical thinking, and innovation. Black culture, as it currently stands in many parts of Africa and the diaspora, often leans on tradition without interrogating whether these traditions serve us in a modern, globalized world. This isn't about abandoning our identity; it’s about evolving it to meet the demands of the future. To transform our societies, we need a cultural reset-a willingness to embrace what works, discard what doesn't, and foster a mindset focused on progress, collaboration, and shared prosperity. this is what the Europeans did back when they were barbaric and proud. Wanna fix Africa? Do a 180 on Black Culture!
I am a Nigerian. In my country, greed is the top character of our leaders. Virtually all the 'leaders' put personal interest above national interest and this single manner has crippled my dear country overtime.

I’m going to say this now and keep on saying it until we get it through our thick heads as Africans, particularly darker skinned Africans. Besides Europeans coming to the African continent and further setting darker skinned Africans back, Africans have no one but ourselves to blame for our position in the respective countries we predominantly populate due to corruption, the lack of care we have for each other as far as our development is concerned infrastructure and intellectual development. I made an observation about our people globally and how our environments are very similar in appearance around the world. We need to stop blaming white people and other groups of people for our position and stand up and do something about it. The most embarrassing thing we can do as a people that look like us is constantly hold our hands out for people to help us solve our own or problems. Of the Human species we have the smallest brain sizes but we don’t seem to utilize our brains as efficiently as we should.

kaswayne you could give africa ten thousand years of complete isolation, no interference, and it would still be in the same undeveloped state it is now. worse probably, since it wouldn't be getting significant aid from developed nations.
I Love That Katie Loves Classic Books Everyone needs a boost. Aide is not just giving people money. It can be knowledge transfer from the West to Africa. The Latins took from Greeks and the Greeks from the Egyptians. The west started with something. They started from a foundation from which they build on. The West could only succeed by taking from the discoveries of many other non-westerners. The Indians and Arabs came up with number systems that we use today. They still are very good with numbers to date. The Egyptian brought Pythagoras theorem. Euclidean geometry came from the Roman (Greeks) not from Europe. Plato and Socrates to name a few. The West had the means and the motive to get where they are today. They had the resources, most of which came from Africa btw to build and fund research. Their system of parliament came from Greek and Latin model. Their democracy came from Rome. The Latins took over Europe and help them get to where they are today. Africa, the Arab countries, India and China were in trade for centuries b4 Europe was even on the map. So you can’t say that Africa could never get anywhere if it wasn’t for the West. There are still Japan and China close by that could still help them with that push start. Europe had lots of help. Europe was aided. When they were wise enough to start exploring they realised that gun power was their most prized possession because it help them to do what they did to the world. Europe started off as farmers. They still are so good at it. I really love white people. Every race a matter of fact. I don’t like that Europeans genuinely believe that Africans are inferior and less intelligent than anyone else. I understand, why many might come to that conclusion but it’s more complicated than that. The same was said about the Chinese. As soon as they got the opportunity, they showed the world that the assumptions made about them are untrue. The contemporary African thinking is changing. You’ll never know what God has in store for us. You didn’t create us. You don’t have our manual to know how we function. We should be working together for a better world for all. Not just for a few elites. I appreciate your comments. They motivate us to keep pushing the boundaries and making ourselves better. We actually want better and we are willing to learn. Thanks you again for sharing your interest in us. ✌🏾😇
I Love That Katie Loves Classic Books Aide is a paper that the West print on though. Real wealth is the oil, gold, platinum and diamonds that Africa has and the West steal. Give us paper for diamond is no real exchange right?
I Love That Katie Loves Classic Book Is that what they told you? There are lots of poor countries in the world. There are lots of poor people in world including millions in the West who are not receiving aide. The question is, why single out Africa? Why are so many European companies here taking the natural resources below the market value. Maybe if they were paying market prices for our resources, we wouldn’t need your aid. There are corrupt politicians in Africa, but corruption is everywhere. It’s just hidden very well by western media. There is still poverty in the West despite all your wealth. Few efforts are being made to help the poor in the West. Lots of Westerners working in Africa and the Middle East. So the West is not as glamorous as you think. Better than Africa because of help it got in the past, but not significantly better off. Millions in the West still die of cancer, aids, diabetes and many other health related diseases despite your technology. The West has it’s problems. You’d wonder why they are so concerned for Africa. Thanks though. It helps me to understand how you guys think, which is very shallow. An African country recently helped a European one out of debt. There was no media coverage about that. You rely too much on the media for your education. You should do more research b4 making sweeping claims, that will only expose your ignorance about the world.
My friend's son recently left to spend 2 years in Senegal with the Peace Corp. Before leaving he had to complete an apparently quite intensive week of "orientation". The week starts with a welcome talk and a brief overview. Some Peace Corp higher up gave the talk. The third "paragraph" of his talk started with the sentence "Much of Africa is a highly fecalized environment". He went on to describe how the way they take a shit over there, you just go where ever you want or is most convenient. On the sidewalk? if you want. in the streets, in the woods, off the side of the bridge into the river below.Apparently that's how it's always been done, to the dawn of time. So, the trainees were told to always carry at least a small cloth to cover their nose and mouth any time the dry wind of the hottest months blows, kicking up cloud of dust from the streets and the land. they were told if a sample of that dust were tested, it would be as much microscopic shit particles as it was clay. And the speaker warned the trainees the most serious way possible. Do not drink the water. Do not bath with the water. do not launder or clean dishes or cutlery with the water. Do not step in puddles, do not go swimming or wading. In fact, if you walk past water, do so at the greatest possible distance. He said the water there was so contaminated with all sorts of hideous parasites that the PC goes to great lengths at great expense to ship water from the USA or Europe to the regional PC facilities for the use of PC employees. even water for laundry. They were given similar warnings regarding aanimals, pets and livestock.

As a South African, the biggest problem Africa faces is lack of education. The basics like understanding 24 hour time or even just straight lines in basics like brick laying just aren't there in a lot of people from various countries. This is the fault of the governments who honestly don't care about the people. Also In 1947 it was headline news when Johannesburg had a 35 minute power interruption. Currently we have 3 x 2 hour interruptions EVERY DAY. It's called load shedding 😤 Imagine this in a first world country!

Why Development in Africa Is So Difficult: #1: Political leaders working primarily for the interest of their countries are overthrown and/or assassinated by former colonial countries of Europe or by the USA. PLENTY examples of this case: Patrice Lumumba, Thomas Sankara, Ruben Um Nyobé, Mouamar Khadafi... Don't take my words for it and look up Jacques Foccart to hear it from the horse's mouth, he's one of the main men responsible for these coup d'états. Imagine if Napoléon was killed before he had the chance to stabilize France, it would've been a mess and maybe still would be. Well, men like Sankara did a great job at initiating the development of their countries and had significant results before they were "stopped" in their enterprise. #2: Countries that were colonized by France are really still controlled by it therefore can't impulse a positive change for their people as it goes against the interest of France. The interest of Western countries is to sell to Africa and buy for really cheap. That's why France still controls it's ancient colonies currency, the franc CFA (literally the franc of French Colonies of Africa) and it's value so they can devalue it at will and keep getting everything they need in Africa for cheap. Which leaves no chance for these countries to be financially empowered and compete economically. Countries that have their own currency do way better and are actually developing (Nigeria, Ghana...) #3: People in power in these countries still controlled externally are "allowed" to be in power as long as they work for the Western world. If they were to stop working for this oppressive system they would be deposed just like any of their predecessors that opposed the system before (example: Côte d'Ivoire President Laurent Gbagbo). Those selected to hold these positions are chosen based on the facts that they're easily corruptible and will keep the system running as long as they can hoard money from themselves and their family.

+MrMalicious ..... there's actually a much deeper phenomena (*which underlies errything) behind it, and empire of dust is just wat you see upfront! (*like a facade)
There are many factors. Not all colonies served the same geopolitical advantages to their colonizers. Africa was also colonized more extensively than other countries. Asian colonization was nowhere near as extensive as African colonization, and tended to rely much more on co-opting existing power structures than building entirely new ones. That's because Asia had existing power structures to co-opt--local imperial barons that controlled large amounts of land. Much of Asia was also not colonized.
Borders were drawn mostly to suit the convenience of whatever western country wanted to do business there after the colonian powers left, and there is an emerging literature indicating that borders that cut across ethnic lines are a recipe for conflict, and thus poverty. In Asian colonies, borders were cut along ethnic lines while in Africa they cut right through them. Colonizers fucked it up for them since the beginning.

why did they allow themselves to be carved up? are u an idiot. Africa was far less developed than these european colonizers. they couldn't fight back. and just so u know, being economically un-advanced, does not mean shit hole
And still getting a shit ton of foreign aid. They'd be a lot less of without it, esp the anti-retrovirals which probably would have knocked their populations in half by about now, without.
You are a liar When the colonialists moved out the all Africa economy was equivalent to belgium economy at that time. Today african economy is nearly equal to India economy Is India also a cursed land just like Greece and portugal ?
In the immediate post colonial period African economies were growing at substantially high rates. It only began regressing as a result of the debt crisis of the 1980s
Many, many parts of the world have been under colonialism. Yet only africa is like africa. Development in africa is difficult because subsaharan africa is filled with low IQ, high time preference, impulsive people. They never even invented the wheel. This is because of the environment they live in and how it affected their biological evolution. They never had to engage in such collective behavior which demanded they survive harsh winters and farm livestock and grow crops.

Corruption diverts foreign aid and donated money to ruler's Swiss bank accounts, foreign real estate. With that being said, Africa is big. It has countries with varied level of economic development. Some countries are rising like Ethopia, some are still in poverty like Congo and South Sudan. You can't just categorize it as a whole.
I'm surprised because black people usually always work hard, never complain and always show up early for work. I'm in construction and the black guys work hard while the Hispanics usually good off and listen to music while playing Domino's.
The short write-up from PAMELA CANTOR sums the origins of African developmental failure (the children cognitive capacity is often not well developed). Africans have this historical negative attitude towards children and women. Children and women have no say in African culture, both are often abused through neglect and brutality. The children are often too many in a family unit and they suffer both malnutrition and low parental care, this issue is seen in the large number of out of school children in Nigeria. Additionally, Africans continuously brought up their children with vague understanding of the real world dynamics, by infusing them with superstitious beliefs. We also have huge inferiority complex, we only see foreigners as more capable e.g. Europeans and Asians. There is this disrespect for education among "traditional" African people, education through innovation and independence in research is often frown upon. People in Africa hardly bother about their environment in terms of urban and regional planning, simple hygiene etc. There are so many community issues but I mentioned just a few. There's so much to say concerning the style of leadership in Africa, but this platform will not be enough, so I will only mention the innate weakness of the system of leadership. In Africa, people still have this Alpha male admiration, consequently leaders often have a free reign (disrespect for the copied white man constitution) on the natural resources (material resources) and Human Resources. More often than not, the leaders are not qualified as per merit, they are often the worst among the people of their communities. The above issues might be common in other races/regions, but I see it magnified in Africa in recent human history. I do not see the fault of colonial masters, the fault might exist while they colonise us, but after independence its entirely the fault of Africans. We can not blame the colonial masters forever, somehow we have to take responsibility for our failure. Am a Nigerian..
I am right leaning but sometimes I feel genocidal against my race due to the sheer embarrassment they have brought to themselves. There is a video on youtube where he says to a Congolese man that after colonization, European ancestors had left dozens of resources my ancestors to observe and learn from yet they destroyed all of it. Maybe I should go to a mental hospital? Nah, you'll probably see me on the news someday. "Teenager goes on a genocide against own race" Yeah, it'll be perfect.

As a matter of fact I believe that you only have a problem with foreigners from the Middle East or Africa, sooo surprise Africa is mostly Christian. The West definetly plays part with the situation in Africa. If you believe otherwise, you’re an idiot. Also there’s no problem with showing the culture of your home country, as long as it doesn’t inflict or contradicts the culture and values of the new country you live in
The One thing that differentiates rich countries from poor countries is education. How could you educate a people using other languages other than their mother language. Imagine if USA used Chinese as their education language do you think they will achieve the success they achieved, do you think they will have brilliants entrepreneurs that create big companies and provide jobs for peoples, do you think have brilliant doctors, engineers, lawyers....etc.. Same problem in Africa almost all countries in Africa use their colonizer language in education because of the multi ethnic problem of which every one demand to use their language as education for example in Nigeria there's 300 languages Ethiopia more than 80 language. Sorry for my English because it is not my primary mother language and we use French in my country Djibouti for education instead of Somali because afar won't like it and same for us also we won't allow afar. We can't also develop all languages because of the money it needs of which stupid corrupt leader are stealing it.

I'm assuming he's speaking of sub-Saharan Africa, although I'm not sure that the states bordering the Mediterranean are that much better. Every revolution in Africa has proposed to do exactly what this journalist proposes be done (i.e., put the power back into the hands of the people) in order to garner support, but then every regime has subsequently indulged in horrendous corruption, as well as significant levels of violence in order to remain in power when that support evaporated (and please correct me if I'm wrong, as I'd like to know the exception to this pattern). So...if past is prologue, and if we're not engaging in the textbook definition of insanity, why should any reasonable person expect that things might soon be different? Have Africans experienced some sort of epiphany which might allow them to make better decisions from now on? Have they abandoned the lingering passivity which leads them to put a strongman in power, rather than support democratic institutions? Or is something else going on? Are Africans going to renounce violence any time soon? Pardon me if I don't hold my breath waiting for that to happen...
We Indians have the same story. Our politicians are always looking for validation from western nations rather caring for life of our own people. Although I don't agree with the politics of China but I admire the way they dealt with the west and benefitting their own people.
Before the colonialist came, Africans were happy and they lived in organized societies with rich culture. We didn't ask for the white man's help. Now look at what has happened :unprecedented pollution, civil wars, wanton destruction of forests all in pursuit of an elusive dream of riches that comes with deep emptiness of heart. Let us just go back to what we used to do connecting with the land and mimicking nature in our agriculture practice. We don't want the rat race. We as Africans have a great sense of community. Let us go back to our values and peaceful coexistence. We are tired of the western narrative of success
Ridiculous reasoning. So you think that without any influence we would thrive and go on the same path as the others? And you also think we wouldn't have wars how pathetic... Why are we still crying about what the white men did while others moved on from them? That's the realreason why we won't go far...
Most of those civil wars are because of colonialism lol Belgium played a significant role in the Rwandan genocide. During the colonial period, Belgium colonized Rwanda and implemented a policy of ethnic division, favoring the Tutsi minority over the Hutu majority. This division created tensions and resentment between the two groups. In the years leading up to the genocide, Belgium continued to support the Tutsi-led government, despite growing ethnic tensions. The Belgian government also withdrew its peacekeeping forces during the genocide, which further exacerbated the violence and allowed the genocide to unfold. It is important to note that the genocide was ultimately perpetrated by extremist Hutu factions, but Belgium's colonial legacy and actions played a role in creating the conditions for the genocide to occur. Also organisers how did you here what the bristh colonial administration did in Lagos Throughout the 19th century the city was plagued by overcrowding and sanitary problems. While some early British officials such as Governor William MacGregor (1846-1919) attempted to improve the health of all of Lagos’ inhabitants, after 1900 colonial officials focused on the European areas. From that point the small European community was segregated and given preference in sanitary measures. Also mukoko slum in Lagos was doused in 19 century lol
I speak as a person from Botswana. We have universal free education and health care, ranked high on corruption index and a great country to invest in. When we increased our currency and was the same as the a second world country, it was forcibly reduced by Britain with fear of its affects on trade... Politics is the problem.
Blame others for problems yet when the entire world was developing and had large amounts of development over different periods of time most regions in Africa had little to no changes for thousands of years. Development only happened when they met other people 🤣
@@hantheman7328 my country was ruled over by others for over 850 years. These places were ruled over by their own for most of history, when people went to them they had basic spears never discovered the wheel.
@@hantheman7328 It's not really colonialism but instead neo-colonialism. After independence, you had many African leaders who took the initiative and began building and strengthening agriculture and industry in their own nations and took this path as sovereign nations, but when this development threatened the profits of western corporations, they sent in assassination teams and backed mercenary organizations to assassinate and/or overthrow countries and appoint puppet leaders of their own. But that wasn't even the worst part. In the 1980's, structural adjustment programs were forced onto countries by the IMF and World Bank as a pretense for getting loans. They claimed these programs were the right path and would help pay off debts but they actually did was impoverish nations in the long run so the people couldn't start industry or start a business or a farm or anything because the banks were unregulated and the financial institutions were so messed up that prices for everything went up making life unaffordable. Those leaders who chose not to impoverish their nations by accepting SAP to pay these loans, like Thomas Sankara, were assassinated and replaced by friendly puppets who did accept SAP. So many ignorant and racist right wingers who make videos like these or write about it in the comments. So many of these people are stupid and uneducated and choose to live with their racist ignorant mindset instead of seeking the truth for once by reading books and watching videos that teach you the truth.
This might be controversial. Is africas lack of development linked to black peoples lack of development as a race? Every continent has prospered since ww2 except africa. Im not convinced black people are wealth generators. White, oriental and asian (india, pakistan) seem to know how to get wealthy at an individual and therefore national level
It has fucjall to do with race. It's the fact that Africa is quite literally barred from producing or selling anything outside of raw minerals or artifacts.
"Concerning the trade on this Coast, we notified your Highness that nowadays the natives no longer occupy themselves with the search for gold, but rather make war on each other in order to furnish slaves...

I understand Africa is going through tough times since ages, but i have hope that Africa is going to raise, really raise very fast. I always saw Africans as honest, humble and very very hardworking. Its about time.

Amira Olingou it's not racist to point out objective facts. African countries have -70 IQ rate. This is a fact, and the more you try to hide from it, the more dishonest and stupid you look.
We Indians got our Independence from British early half of 20th century. We still do have many problems, but we are able to be one country without big civil wars. Why can't African countries do something similar?
Yes,its exactly what the Zulus did. Its exactly what the Hindus did to the Pashtuns. Its what the Mongols did. Its what the Chinese did. Its what Assyrians did. Its what the Egyptians did. And the Romans,Greeks,Muslims etc etc etc. What's your point?
You know when you watch someone spewing garbage and his facial expression and body language confirms that he himself doesn't believe a word of what he's saying?
Sha Sha the fact that he’s wrong, Africa isn’t poor because of politics, it’s poor because of a term made up of two words whose initials are composed of the 9th and 17th letters of the alphabet.
It is so sad that one of the reasons that hampered africa's development is that about 60% to 70% of its money is moved to overseas by its elites and leaders. He is right to say that this sucked Africa's economy similar to the time of its under colonial era.
I like how nobody brings up the middle east. The same thing happen to them after the fall of the Ottoman Empire and they haven't bounced back fully and are still "developing". People are so quick to bring up eastern Europe and Germany and Japan when it isn't applicable in the same way middle east and Africa was carved by the European. You tell me, is the middle eastern countries first world and have the gone past shia/sunni and kurdish/turkish/iraqi/syrian differences that they have?
Colonial history is not the core of Africa's problem. Many asian countries were colonized...some for nearly 100 years and they are now economic giants in their region. The main problems are culture and corruption.
The experience of colonialism in Asia is not the same as africa for example China was colonised they still exist as a nation most African nation did not even exist then
Just like it can be difficult to human being to develop when every of his attempts to improve his life is monitored in order to trigger the mechanism of deprivation that hinders his fulfillment in every aspect of his life, this experience allows to glimpse the reasons why Africa, despite the potentials hasn't been developed. The direction printed on the energies depends on the characters. The characters can be constructive in this case they develop. The characters can be destructive, in this case they hinder development.
I hope they'll be able to develop fast like South Korea had. I'd love to live there, especially in Nigeria, but the government is not stable and there's the tension between Christians and Muslims
@@jamesspacer7994 you cant make such an absolute statement lol. you and i wont even be here for the time when africa experiences its own series of revolutions. the future holds no bounds.
In the immediate postcolonial period, African countries had a period of rapid economic growth in some cases as high as 10%. As a consequence of the Opec oil crisis which resulted in massive amounts of new money entering commercial banks in the global North, these banks began to extend massive loans to countries in Latin America and Africa. In the 80s Mexico became the first country to default on its loans and soon many others followed which resulted in the American and European governments bailing out their banks and the American controlled IMF and World Bank forcing new restructuring of these economies in order to allow them to pay back their debts. Unfortunately this meant a shift into an export focused economy... What the gentleman talked about as extraction of wealth. Due to the fact that there were dozens of countries now with this export focused economy and many of them were basically selling the same thing, the prices fell and a vicious cycle began because now since these economies are unfocused on actual development but still just paying back debt, and prices for their exports remain low, Africa doesn't have much of a chance. I mean obviously there are still internal factors explaining why Africa is facing problems of development but western neocolonialism is a pretty big fucking hurdle wouldn't you agree
Those big banks like HSBC and JP Morgan have significantly contributed to corruption since they provide loopholes for the African elites to launder money and form shadow accounts in Europe, and when they are in danger of getting overthrowned by military coups or impeachment they usually disappear and the next thing you hear is they are in Paris or London as asylum seekers enjoying the billions of cash they stole. Africa needs to restructure it's relationship with Europe as mutually beneficial relationship or completely cut off if Europe is refusing to change its stance in giving asylum to corrupt Africans and pursecution of western companies involved in shady deals. Also I realized that while IMF adviced Africa to liberalise their Economies and become export based economies, US and much of Europe put trade restrictions on agricultural goods in order to protect it's farmers but instead they drove millions of Africans to extreme poverty since majority of them were agrarian societies relying on exports to Europe
We touched on something like this in school, but never really went indepth about it. In this comment section full of people laying the blame of poverty in many African countries on their leaders and people, this comment really shines through. Thanks!
GEOGRAPHY is the biggest factor. Africa's GEOGRAPHY prevents economic advancement. Very poor river systems for transportation of goods. Most are too shallow, full of waterfalls, and rapids. Very few areas for ports to allow big ships to dock. Africa's layout and position on Earth is very poor for economic growth. It's longer North to South than East to West and sits in the center which gives Africa many climate zones which dictate many different cultures, cultures who don't trust one another. No reliable pack animals for farming or transportation of goods. Terrain that isn't conducive to trains. And many more natural factors that is NO Man's fault.
"Development" is not necessarily what people want. The best framework for "development" is benign colonialism, but since that is off the table we are left with post-colonial chaos.

@@consensualcode9750 What you consider exploitation, the banks, corporations, etc. consider development. You can't expect countries outside Africa to develop Africa out of the kindness of their hearts.

Instead of continuing to blame the continent’s troubles on colonial borders, why don’t the affected countries negotiate new borders that fix those border issues? Either fix that or quit using it as an excuse to blame outsiders for internal problems. But then, no politician ever admits that they are the problem. They have done nothing to deal with the problems.
At the end he offers a hopeful diagnosis that rich Africans will start investing in Africa and transform the political and business landscape... This video is from 2012, and things have inarguably gotten worse (coup in Burkina Faso only this year, constant instability in central Africa, Nigerian politics might be even worse). It's not totally fair to ask rich Africans to deplete their wealth by having them invest in countries where the government can steal it at a moment's notice. The few dozen truly rich African businessmen would just as likely wind up broke, and current dictators wind up a little richer. ...The system is so entrenched towards corruption and dysfunction, that to truly "fix it," you would have to have an outside behemoth like the United States come in and deliberately, forcefully commit military and economic resources to reform the various corrupt governments and autocracies. The U.S. will probably NEVER do that, and the only big country that seems truly interested in Africa is China, where they are doing the exact opposite of what America did in Iraq and tried to do in Afghanistan: stripping democracies, empowering the worst dictators, enabling genocide or the worst human rights violations, and stealing the resources as part of a Colonialism 2.0
Great point but I dislike painting the US or like countries as saviours. They look out for their own interests. If you can't fix your own problems to the extent they did theirs, you have a serious core issue as a society
Colonization did not separate communities. It brought together rival tribes. Only Africa has a language for every tribe. And only in Africa will different tribes never makes peace. And in Africa politics are the ultimate goal. If I can become president, than everything belongs to me. Just as the tribal leader owned all the land.
I disagree, the main problem is that African entrepreneurs do not have access to capital markets. Despite that, Africa is developing, it already has the world's fastest growing economies. Enterprise is the main driver of development, entrepreneurs need funding but no one likes to fund African entrepreneurs? Nobody. You might want to say Africans don't have collateral security, but they absolutely do, each and every African has claim to a piece of land passed on down the line for generations, but banks won't accept this even though it's good enough. What makes this problem worse is because Africans don't own banks.
As a North African citizen (Algeria) we are governed by a group of military kernels that are supported by Europe, because Europe doesn't want Africa to use it's own resources for its own development, and if a revolution happens or try to hapen , you see all those "Democracy lover" countries , giving full support to the military regime to perpetuate a dictaturship that is ruling the country serving them instead of their own people, a double standard indeed . As some writer said before "tell me who brought the president I will tell you who will he serve"
Africa needs a strong man to take control - and lead it using any means - to prosperity. Some people will have to die - but the end justifies the means.
C. Lincoln Yeah but western countries does not want that , they need Africa to stay poor so they can steal their resources and litter in their lands and seas.
That's idealism which is a pretty shallow way of seeing things in any case it has always failed the Soviet Union, Libya e. t. c.... any development should be people centred... you cannot impose development on people what if they don't want it... human beings are not animals they are emotional as well as material... they have a will.... so they should be left to determine they're own course.... and eventually they collectively choose development that suites them.
Theory: Primitive and less evolved people would tend to live in a more primative, less evolved way. Not that there's anything wrong with that. No specific people specified.
History teaches us all time and again, that blacks have never built and will never build a Civilization worth anything, but they sure can bring down any. Even the Aztecs, the Incas, and the Mayans built something that can still be seen by tourists. Plus, they worked in gold, silver, emeralds, made jewelry and colorful clothing made from wool from the Llamas including the well-known Ponchos. The Armies of the modern world still use Ponchos. I'm still waiting for a Refutation or a Disprove to the above, but with solid FACTS please not just some DUMB ghetto argument 'bout some short lived Mali empire centuries ago of which there is nothing left of value or worth.
This is false Oh yes, there were several powerful empires in Sub-Saharan Africa! One notable empire was the Mali Empire, which existed from the 13th to the 16th century. It was known for its wealth, particularly through the gold and salt trade. Another powerful empire was the Songhai Empire, which thrived in the 15th and 16th centuries. It was known for its military strength and control over the trans-Saharan trade routes. These empires, along with others like the Ghana Empire and the Kanem-Bornu Empire, had significant political, economic, and cultural influence in the region. Ah, the Axum Empire! It was an ancient kingdom that thrived in what is now modern-day Ethiopia and Eritrea. The Axumites were known for their advanced civilization, trade networks, and impressive architecture, such as the towering obelisks in Axum. The empire reached its height of power in the 4th century AD and played a significant role in the region, including being a major player in the Red Sea trade. The Axumites had their own unique writing system, known as Ge'ez, and were one of the first African civilizations to adopt Christianity as their state religion. The empire eventually declined in the 7th century due to various factors, including the rise of Islam and shifts in trade routes. The legacy of the Axum Empire continues to be celebrated in Ethiopia and Eritrea today. 🏛️🌍

@@salero2118 wrong some of the infrastructure the Mali empire built is actually still in use lol the musk of djenna is still in use as well as the university, also nope that did give to the world the gold trade from Mali actually benefited the word including Europe also the one of the oldest astronomical calendars is from Mali The trade from Mali was beneficial to the world because it facilitated the exchange of goods, ideas, and cultural practices across different regions. It fostered economic growth, cultural diversity, and technological advancements. The trade routes connected Africa with other parts of the world, promoting cultural exchange and contributing to the development of civilizations.. The trade from Mali benefited the world in several ways. Firstly, it promoted economic growth by facilitating the exchange of valuable goods such as gold, salt, and other commodities. This trade network allowed for the accumulation of wealth and the development of prosperous cities. Secondly, the trade routes fostered cultural exchange, as merchants from different regions interacted and shared ideas, languages, and customs. This cultural diffusion led to the enrichment and diversity of societies. Lastly, the trade from Mali contributed to technological advancements. For example, the introduction of new agricultural practices and irrigation techniques improved food production and supported population growth. Overall, the trade from Mali had a positive impact on the world by stimulating economic, cultural, and technological progress. Axum as well have left alot of there obelisk behind tye oldest bible of from Axum as a result also the book of Enoch was also found there , you also have the famous church which is now an archaeological site called the lalibela , you can just google Mali empire pictures of what they built will come up so as Axum . There influence is still on the continent .

What's important is policy. They love communism and socialism here. The African leaders of today know very little of legislation, or political theory, that actually works because most of them haven't seen it from their forefathers. They only know the politics of villages that were ruled by chiefs and haven't had proper parliamentary experience. South Africa elected a man, who can be appreciated for his part in the struggle, but hadn't finished high school. This guy had TWO terms, was in a fraud case BEFORE being elected. A friend of mine just shrugged it off when I compared it to the Clinton/Lewinsky case and how Clinton was set aside because of his indiscretions. Two terms later the country is in junk status, economically. The irony, the guy they kicked out had a PhD in economics and he was well spoken and a hard worker.

Not all empires are created equal. The "kingdoms" that arose in Africa are particularly unimpressive. They didn't contribute anything significant to the world around them, and they failed to create a competent, or enduring political infrastructure. There was almost no technological/cultural advancement. As far Egypt is concerned, it's hardly an African civilization in the sense that he's talking about in the video. It has more in common with West Asia than it does the rest of Africa, and that difference shows to this day.
Just because they aren't westerners doesn't mean they have a lack in development. You have lost your mind.

Black culture, as it currently stands in many parts of Africa and the diaspora, often leans on tradition without interrogating whether these traditions serve us in a modern, globalized world. This isn't about abandoning our identity; it’s about evolving it to meet the demands of the future.
To transform our societies, we need a cultural reset-a willingness to embrace what works, discard what doesn't, and foster a mindset focused on progress, collaboration, and shared prosperity. this is what the Europeans did back when they were barbaric and proud.

I’m going to say this now and keep on saying it until we get it through our thick heads as Africans, particularly darker skinned Africans. Besides Europeans coming to the African continent and further setting darker skinned Africans back, Africans have no one but ourselves to blame for our position in the respective countries we predominantly populate due to corruption, the lack of care we have for each other as far as our development is concerned infrastructure and intellectual development. I made an observation about our people globally and how our environments are very similar in appearance around the world. We need to stop blaming white people and other groups of people for our position and stand up and do something about it. The most embarrassing thing we can do as a people that look like us is constantly hold our hands out for people to help us solve our own or problems. Of the Human species we have the smallest brain sizes but we don’t seem to utilize our brains as efficiently as we should. I know I’m going to get cursed out by my people because I every time I point out shit like this and say it’s our own fault and we should have fought harder to protect our continent and our peoples, we always deflect and blame someone else and I’m about tired of it.
Finally. FINALLY someone said it. That's the actual thing they don't want to hear and it is so sad.

the world almost ending and still africa cant develop on its own...
kaswayne you could give africa ten thousand years of complete isolation, no interference, and it would still be in the same undeveloped state it is now. worse probably, since it wouldn't be getting significant aid from developed nations.
I Love That Katie Loves Classic Books Everyone needs a boost. Aide is not just giving people money. It can be knowledge transfer from the West to Africa. The Latins took from Greeks and the Greeks from the Egyptians. The west started with something. They started from a foundation from which they build on. The West could only succeed by taking from the discoveries of many other non-westerners. The Indians and Arabs came up with number systems that we use today. They still are very good with numbers to date. The Egyptian brought Pythagoras theorem. Euclidean geometry came from the Roman (Greeks) not from Europe. Plato and Socrates to name a few. The West had the means and the motive to get where they are today. They had the resources, most of which came from Africa btw to build and fund research. Their system of parliament came from Greek and Latin model. Their democracy came from Rome. The Latins took over Europe and help them get to where they are today. Africa, the Arab countries, India and China were in trade for centuries b4 Europe was even on the map. So you can’t say that Africa could never get anywhere if it wasn’t for the West. There are still Japan and China close by that could still help them with that push start. Europe had lots of help. Europe was aided. When they were wise enough to start exploring they realised that gun power was their most prized possession because it help them to do what they did to the world. Europe started off as farmers. They still are so good at it. I really love white people. Every race a matter of fact. I don’t like that Europeans genuinely believe that Africans are inferior and less intelligent than anyone else. I understand, why many might come to that conclusion but it’s more complicated than that. The same was said about the Chinese. As soon as they got the opportunity, they showed the world that the assumptions made about them are untrue. The contemporary African thinking is changing. You’ll never know what God has in store for us. You didn’t create us. You don’t have our manual to know how we function. We should be working together for a better world for all. Not just for a few elites. I appreciate your comments. They motivate us to keep pushing the boundaries and making ourselves better. We actually want better and we are willing to learn. Thanks you again for sharing your interest in us. ✌🏾😇
I Love That Katie Loves Classic Books Aide is a paper that the West print on though. Real wealth is the oil, gold, platinum and diamonds that Africa has and the West steal. Give us paper for diamond is no real exchange right?
uhhh, ya no. aid is millions of bushels of wheat and rice to feed your population-- without anything given in return.
I Love That Katie Loves Classic Book Is that what they told you? There are lots of poor countries in the world. There are lots of poor people in world including millions in the West who are not receiving aide. The question is, why single out Africa? Why are so many European companies here taking the natural resources below the market value. Maybe if they were paying market prices for our resources, we wouldn’t need your aid. There are corrupt politicians in Africa, but corruption is everywhere. It’s just hidden very well by western media. There is still poverty in the West despite all your wealth. Few efforts are being made to help the poor in the West. Lots of Westerners working in Africa and the Middle East. So the West is not as glamorous as you think. Better than Africa because of help it got in the past, but not significantly better off. Millions in the West still die of cancer, aids, diabetes and many other health related diseases despite your technology. The West has it’s problems. You’d wonder why they are so concerned for Africa. Thanks though. It helps me to understand how you guys think, which is very shallow. An African country recently helped a European one out of debt. There was no media coverage about that. You rely too much on the media for your education. You should do more research b4 making sweeping claims, that will only expose your ignorance about the world.
My friend's son recently left to spend 2 years in Senegal with the Peace Corp. Before leaving he had to complete an apparently quite intensive week of "orientation". The week starts with a welcome talk and a brief overview. Some Peace Corp higher up gave the talk. The third "paragraph" of his talk started with the sentence "Much of Africa is a highly fecalized environment". He went on to describe how the way they take a shit over there, you just go where ever you want or is most convenient. On the sidewalk? if you want. in the streets, in the woods, off the side of the bridge into the river below.Apparently that's how it's always been done, to the dawn of time. So, the trainees were told to always carry at least a small cloth to cover their nose and mouth any time the dry wind of the hottest months blows, kicking up cloud of dust from the streets and the land. they were told if a sample of that dust were tested, it would be as much microscopic shit particles as it was clay. And the speaker warned the trainees the most serious way possible. Do not drink the water. Do not bath with the water. do not launder or clean dishes or cutlery with the water. Do not step in puddles, do not go swimming or wading. In fact, if you walk past water, do so at the greatest possible distance. He said the water there was so contaminated with all sorts of hideous parasites that the PC goes to great lengths at great expense to ship water from the USA or Europe to the regional PC facilities for the use of PC employees. even water for laundry.
They were given similar warnings regarding aanimals, pets and livestock.

Why Development in Africa Is So Difficult:
#1: Political leaders working primarily for the interest of their countries are overthrown and/or assassinated by former colonial countries of Europe or by the USA. PLENTY examples of this case: Patrice Lumumba, Thomas Sankara, Ruben Um Nyobé, Mouamar Khadafi...
Don't take my words for it and look up Jacques Foccart to hear it from the horse's mouth, he's one of the main men responsible for these coup d'états. Imagine if Napoléon was killed before he had the chance to stabilize France, it would've been a mess and maybe still would be. Well, men like Sankara did a great job at initiating the development of their countries and had significant results before they were "stopped" in their enterprise.
#2: Countries that were colonized by France are really still controlled by it therefore can't impulse a positive change for their people as it goes against the interest of France. The interest of Western countries is to sell to Africa and buy for really cheap. That's why France still controls it's ancient colonies currency, the franc CFA (literally the franc of French Colonies of Africa) and it's value so they can devalue it at will and keep getting everything they need in Africa for cheap. Which leaves no chance for these countries to be financially empowered and compete economically. Countries that have their own currency do way better and are actually developing (Nigeria, Ghana...)
#3: People in power in these countries still controlled externally are "allowed" to be in power as long as they work for the Western world. If they were to stop working for this oppressive system they would be deposed just like any of their predecessors that opposed the system before (example: Côte d'Ivoire President Laurent Gbagbo). Those selected to hold these positions are chosen based on the facts that they're easily corruptible and will keep the system running as long as they can hoard money from themselves and their family.

(Deuteronomy 28:33) "A people whom you don't know will devour what your land and labor produces. You'll be only oppressed and discouraged continuously
The biggest problem in Africa is lack of problem ownership at any level.
White colonizers have exploited Africa for a long time which stunted their growth. I’m White. Trust me, it’s White people.
There are many factors. Not all colonies served the same geopolitical advantages to their colonizers. Africa was also colonized more extensively than other countries.
Asian colonization was nowhere near as extensive as African colonization, and tended to rely much more on co-opting existing power structures than building entirely new ones. That's because Asia had existing power structures to co-opt--local imperial barons that controlled large amounts of land. Much of Asia was also not colonized.
Borders were drawn mostly to suit the convenience of whatever western country wanted to do business there after the colonian powers left, and there is an emerging literature indicating that borders that cut across ethnic lines are a recipe for conflict, and thus poverty.
In Asian colonies, borders were cut along ethnic lines while in Africa they cut right through them. Colonizers fucked it up for them since the beginning.

In the immediate post colonial period African economies were growing at substantially high rates. It only began regressing as a result of the debt crisis of the 1980s
Many, many parts of the world have been under colonialism. Yet only africa is like africa.
Development in africa is difficult because subsaharan africa is filled with low IQ, high time preference, impulsive people. They never even invented the wheel. This is because of the environment they live in and how it affected their biological evolution. They never had to engage in such collective behavior which demanded they survive harsh winters and farm livestock and grow crops.

When a dynastic dictatorship of six decades in Africa that represents ruin, violence, misery to people in Africa has the mean to export its terror , its violence in some European countries where where everything you have achieved is ruined in the name of the tyranny in Africa and deprivation is deployed to make sure you don't move forwards, this gives you an idea of why development in Africa is so difficult. I am an African from Togo.
Togo was a refuge from Lagos. Poolside at the De la Paix hotel, having a drink, and listening to music from 20, years earlieer.
Corruption diverts foreign aid and donated money to ruler's Swiss bank accounts, foreign real estate. With that being said, Africa is big. It has countries with varied level of economic development. Some countries are rising like Ethopia, some are still in poverty like Congo and South Sudan. You can't just categorize it as a whole.
I'm surprised because black people usually always work hard, never complain and always show up early for work. I'm in construction and the black guys work hard while the Hispanics usually good off and listen to music while playing Domino's.
So basically, diversity isn't always a good thing.

@@lynndakay you gotta get out of these brainwashing sessions. It’s sick that this is considered education
@@davruck1 I see
The short write-up from PAMELA CANTOR sums the origins of African developmental failure (the children cognitive capacity is often not well developed). Africans have this historical negative attitude towards children and women. Children and women have no say in African culture, both are often abused through neglect and brutality. The children are often too many in a family unit and they suffer both malnutrition and low parental care, this issue is seen in the large number of out of school children in Nigeria. Additionally, Africans continuously brought up their children with vague understanding of the real world dynamics, by infusing them with superstitious beliefs. We also have huge inferiority complex, we only see foreigners as more capable e.g. Europeans and Asians. There is this disrespect for education among "traditional" African people, education through innovation and independence in research is often frown upon. People in Africa hardly bother about their environment in terms of urban and regional planning, simple hygiene etc. There are so many community issues but I mentioned just a few.
There's so much to say concerning the style of leadership in Africa, but this platform will not be enough, so I will only mention the innate weakness of the system of leadership. In Africa, people still have this Alpha male admiration, consequently leaders often have a free reign (disrespect for the copied white man constitution) on the natural resources (material resources) and Human Resources. More often than not, the leaders are not qualified as per merit, they are often the worst among the people of their communities. The above issues might be common in other races/regions, but I see it magnified in Africa in recent human history. I do not see the fault of colonial masters, the fault might exist while they colonise us, but after independence its entirely the fault of Africans. We can not blame the colonial masters forever, somehow we have to take responsibility for our failure. Am a Nigerian..
Blaming Europeans for Africa's lack of progress. 😁
typical of liberals and leftists !!!!

Who else is to blame except silly europe and america?
I am right leaning but sometimes I feel genocidal against my race due to the sheer embarrassment they have brought to themselves. There is a video on youtube where he says to a Congolese man that after colonization, European ancestors had left dozens of resources my ancestors to observe and learn from yet they destroyed all of it. Maybe I should go to a mental hospital? Nah, you'll probably see me on the news someday.
"Teenager goes on a genocide against own race" Yeah, it'll be perfect.

The One thing that differentiates rich countries from poor countries is education. How could you educate a people using other languages other than their mother language. Imagine if USA used Chinese as their education language do you think they will achieve the success they achieved, do you think they will have brilliants entrepreneurs that create big companies and provide jobs for peoples, do you think have brilliant doctors, engineers, lawyers....etc.. Same problem in Africa almost all countries in Africa use their colonizer language in education because of the multi ethnic problem of which every one demand to use their language as education for example in Nigeria there's 300 languages Ethiopia more than 80 language. Sorry for my English because it is not my primary mother language and we use French in my country Djibouti for education instead of Somali because afar won't like it and same for us also we won't allow afar. We can't also develop all languages because of the money it needs of which stupid corrupt leader are stealing it.
Africa ain’t poor because of colonialism in general. They are poor because of poor leadership
And they have poor leadership because of the effects of colonialism 😂
@@skepabbas9400 Ethiopia and Liberia were never colonized, and the people of these countries continue to be in poverty like the rest of Africa, keep trying to blame others for your own mistakes and the truth will emerge.
I'm assuming he's speaking of sub-Saharan Africa, although I'm not sure that the states bordering the Mediterranean are that much better.
Every revolution in Africa has proposed to do exactly what this journalist proposes be done (i.e., put the power back into the hands of the people) in order to garner support, but then every regime has subsequently indulged in horrendous corruption, as well as significant levels of violence in order to remain in power when that support evaporated (and please correct me if I'm wrong, as I'd like to know the exception to this pattern). So...if past is prologue, and if we're not engaging in the textbook definition of insanity, why should any reasonable person expect that things might soon be different? Have Africans experienced some sort of epiphany which might allow them to make better decisions from now on? Have they abandoned the lingering passivity which leads them to put a strongman in power, rather than support democratic institutions? Or is something else going on? Are Africans going to renounce violence any time soon? Pardon me if I don't hold my breath waiting for that to happen...
We Indians have the same story. Our politicians are always looking for validation from western nations rather caring for life of our own people. Although I don't agree with the politics of China but I admire the way they dealt with the west and benefitting their own people.
Before the colonialist came, Africans were happy and they lived in organized societies with rich culture. We didn't ask for the white man's help. Now look at what has happened :unprecedented pollution, civil wars, wanton destruction of forests all in pursuit of an elusive dream of riches that comes with deep emptiness of heart. Let us just go back to what we used to do connecting with the land and mimicking nature in our agriculture practice. We don't want the rat race. We as Africans have a great sense of community. Let us go back to our values and peaceful coexistence. We are tired of the western narrative of success
You've got 10 times too many people to do that now.
Ridiculous reasoning. So you think that without any influence we would thrive and go on the same path as the others? And you also think we wouldn't have wars how pathetic... Why are we still crying about what the white men did while others moved on from them? That's the realreason why we won't go far...
Most of those civil wars are because of colonialism lol Belgium played a significant role in the Rwandan genocide. During the colonial period, Belgium colonized Rwanda and implemented a policy of ethnic division, favoring the Tutsi minority over the Hutu majority. This division created tensions and resentment between the two groups. In the years leading up to the genocide, Belgium continued to support the Tutsi-led government, despite growing ethnic tensions. The Belgian government also withdrew its peacekeeping forces during the genocide, which further exacerbated the violence and allowed the genocide to unfold. It is important to note that the genocide was ultimately perpetrated by extremist Hutu factions, but Belgium's colonial legacy and actions played a role in creating the conditions for the genocide to occur.
Also organisers how did you here what the bristh colonial administration did in Lagos
Throughout the 19th century the city was plagued by overcrowding and sanitary problems. While some early British officials such as Governor William MacGregor (1846-1919) attempted to improve the health of all of Lagos’ inhabitants, after 1900 colonial officials focused on the European areas. From that point the small European community was segregated and given preference in sanitary measures. Also mukoko slum in Lagos was doused in 19 century lol
I speak as a person from Botswana. We have universal free education and health care, ranked high on corruption index and a great country to invest in. When we increased our currency and was the same as the a second world country, it was forcibly reduced by Britain with fear of its affects on trade... Politics is the problem.
Botswana is one of the Rare Cases where the Leader was actually Good, which led to it's Development. Most Nations don't have that type of Leadership.

@@hantheman7328 It's not really colonialism but instead neo-colonialism. After independence, you had many African leaders who took the initiative and began building and strengthening agriculture and industry in their own nations and took this path as sovereign nations, but when this development threatened the profits of western corporations, they sent in assassination teams and backed mercenary organizations to assassinate and/or overthrow countries and appoint puppet leaders of their own. But that wasn't even the worst part.
In the 1980's, structural adjustment programs were forced onto countries by the IMF and World Bank as a pretense for getting loans. They claimed these programs were the right path and would help pay off debts but they actually did was impoverish nations in the long run so the people couldn't start industry or start a business or a farm or anything because the banks were unregulated and the financial institutions were so messed up that prices for everything went up making life unaffordable. Those leaders who chose not to impoverish their nations by accepting SAP to pay these loans, like Thomas Sankara, were assassinated and replaced by friendly puppets who did accept SAP.

This might be controversial. Is africas lack of development linked to black peoples lack of development as a race? Every continent has prospered since ww2 except africa. Im not convinced black people are wealth generators. White, oriental and asian (india, pakistan) seem to know how to get wealthy at an individual and therefore national level

Just like it can be difficult to human being to develop when every of his attempts to improve his life is monitored in order to trigger the mechanism of deprivation that hinders his fulfillment in every aspect of his life, this experience allows to glimpse the reasons why Africa, despite the potentials hasn't been developed.

In the immediate postcolonial period, African countries had a period of rapid economic growth in some cases as high as 10%. As a consequence of the Opec oil crisis which resulted in massive amounts of new money entering commercial banks in the global North, these banks began to extend massive loans to countries in Latin America and Africa. In the 80s Mexico became the first country to default on its loans and soon many others followed which resulted in the American and European governments bailing out their banks and the American controlled IMF and World Bank forcing new restructuring of these economies in order to allow them to pay back their debts. Unfortunately this meant a shift into an export focused economy... What the gentleman talked about as extraction of wealth. Due to the fact that there were dozens of countries now with this export focused economy and many of them were basically selling the same thing, the prices fell and a vicious cycle began because now since these economies are unfocused on actual development but still just paying back debt, and prices for their exports remain low, Africa doesn't have much of a chance. I mean obviously there are still internal factors explaining why Africa is facing problems of development but western neocolonialism is a pretty big fucking hurdle wouldn't you agree
Hello Sir, can you give me the source of your informations on this topic?
Those big banks like HSBC and JP Morgan have significantly contributed to corruption since they provide loopholes for the African elites to launder money and form shadow accounts in Europe, and when they are in danger of getting overthrowned by military coups or impeachment they usually disappear and the next thing you hear is they are in Paris or London as asylum seekers enjoying the billions of cash they stole.
Africa needs to restructure it's relationship with Europe as mutually beneficial relationship or completely cut off if Europe is refusing to change its stance in giving asylum to corrupt Africans and pursecution of western companies involved in shady deals.
Also I realized that while IMF adviced Africa to liberalise their Economies and become export based economies, US and much of Europe put trade restrictions on agricultural goods in order to protect it's farmers but instead they drove millions of Africans to extreme poverty since majority of them were agrarian societies relying on exports to Europe
We touched on something like this in school, but never really went indepth about it. In this comment section full of people laying the blame of poverty in many African countries on their leaders and people, this comment really shines through. Thanks!
Even India is a multilingual and multicultural country. Even we are created and given by Europeans(English and French).
12 years later, same thing, bro Africa is hopeless.
GEOGRAPHY is the biggest factor.
Africa's GEOGRAPHY prevents economic advancement. Very poor river systems for transportation of goods. Most are too shallow, full of waterfalls, and rapids.
Very few areas for ports to allow big ships to dock.
Africa's layout and position on Earth is very poor for economic growth.
It's longer North to South than East to West and sits in the center which gives Africa many climate zones which dictate many different cultures, cultures who don't trust one another.
No reliable pack animals for farming or transportation of goods.
Terrain that isn't conducive to trains.
And many more natural factors that is NO Man's fault.
"Development" is not necessarily what people want. The best framework for "development" is benign colonialism, but since that is off the table we are left with post-colonial chaos.

At the end he offers a hopeful diagnosis that rich Africans will start investing in Africa and transform the political and business landscape... This video is from 2012, and things have inarguably gotten worse (coup in Burkina Faso only this year, constant instability in central Africa, Nigerian politics might be even worse). It's not totally fair to ask rich Africans to deplete their wealth by having them invest in countries where the government can steal it at a moment's notice. The few dozen truly rich African businessmen would just as likely wind up broke, and current dictators wind up a little richer. ...The system is so entrenched towards corruption and dysfunction, that to truly "fix it," you would have to have an outside behemoth like the United States come in and deliberately, forcefully commit military and economic resources to reform the various corrupt governments and autocracies. The U.S. will probably NEVER do that, and the only big country that seems truly interested in Africa is China, where they are doing the exact opposite of what America did in Iraq and tried to do in Afghanistan: stripping democracies, empowering the worst dictators, enabling genocide or the worst human rights violations, and stealing the resources as part of a Colonialism 2.0
Great point but I dislike painting the US or like countries as saviours. They look out for their own interests. If you can't fix your own problems to the extent they did theirs, you have a serious core issue as a society
Colonization did not separate communities. It brought together rival tribes. Only Africa has a language for every tribe. And only in Africa will different tribes never makes peace. And in Africa politics are the ultimate goal. If I can become president, than everything belongs to me. Just as the tribal leader owned all the land.
@Kazeshini Hijacker And in all these years it could not been rectified?
@Kazeshini Hijacker Yep, follow the money.
I disagree, the main problem is that African entrepreneurs do not have access to capital markets. Despite that, Africa is developing, it already has the world's fastest growing economies.
Enterprise is the main driver of development, entrepreneurs need funding but no one likes to fund African entrepreneurs? Nobody. You might want to say Africans don't have collateral security, but they absolutely do, each and every African has claim to a piece of land passed on down the line for generations, but banks won't accept this even though it's good enough. What makes this problem worse is because Africans don't own banks.
As a North African citizen (Algeria) we are governed by a group of military kernels that are supported by Europe, because Europe doesn't want Africa to use it's own resources for its own development, and if a revolution happens or try to hapen , you see all those "Democracy lover" countries , giving full support to the military regime to perpetuate a dictaturship that is ruling the country serving them instead of their own people, a double standard indeed .

This is false Oh yes, there were several powerful empires in Sub-Saharan Africa! One notable empire was the Mali Empire, which existed from the 13th to the 16th century. It was known for its wealth, particularly through the gold and salt trade. Another powerful empire was the Songhai Empire, which thrived in the 15th and 16th centuries. It was known for its military strength and control over the trans-Saharan trade routes. These empires, along with others like the Ghana Empire and the Kanem-Bornu Empire, had significant political, economic, and cultural influence in the region.
Ah, the Axum Empire! It was an ancient kingdom that thrived in what is now modern-day Ethiopia and Eritrea. The Axumites were known for their advanced civilization, trade networks, and impressive architecture, such as the towering obelisks in Axum. The empire reached its height of power in the 4th century AD and played a significant role in the region, including being a major player in the Red Sea trade. The Axumites had their own unique writing system, known as Ge'ez, and were one of the first African civilizations to adopt Christianity as their state religion. The empire eventually declined in the 7th century due to various factors, including the rise of Islam and shifts in trade routes. The legacy of the Axum Empire continues to be celebrated in Ethiopia and Eritrea today. 🏛️🌍

It fostered economic growth, cultural diversity, and technological advancements. The trade routes connected Africa with other parts of the world, promoting cultural exchange and contributing to the development of civilizations..
The trade from Mali benefited the world in several ways. Firstly, it promoted economic growth by facilitating the exchange of valuable goods such as gold, salt, and other commodities. This trade network allowed for the accumulation of wealth and the development of prosperous cities. Secondly, the trade routes fostered cultural exchange, as merchants from different regions interacted and shared ideas, languages, and customs. This cultural diffusion led to the enrichment and diversity of societies. Lastly, the trade from Mali contributed to technological advancements. For example, the introduction of new agricultural practices and irrigation techniques improved food production and supported population growth. Overall, the trade from Mali had a positive impact on the world by stimulating economic, cultural, and technological progress.
