Why is Africa so Poor?
One question that bugged me a lot whilst I was doing my Cape to Cairo trip is why is Africa so rich but yet so poor? Why is the cradle of humankind so underdeveloped? Why are we the least developed continent in the world? Why are vast majority of Africans living way below poverty line? Why are her children dying of hunger and malnutrition every day? Why is her infrastructure as good as non- existent in other parts of the continent? Maybe the question should be: what caused all this havoc (for a lack of better word) that we find ourselves in today and, even more important, how do we – as Africans – get ourselves out of this mess?
