One of the key factors contributing to poverty in Africa is economic instability. High rates of unemployment, income inequality, and economic policies that sometimes fail to prioritize the needs of the most vulnerable citizens of an African nation all play a role. Jeffrey Sachs & Howard Nicholas, economists, explains how western countries ensure Sub-Saharan Africa remains poor for survival sake of the developed world.
"Sub-Saharan Africa historically has been fundamental to the West's prosperity as a producer of raw materials. The West will not allow Africa to escape that. They'll do everything to keep Africa impoverished, as it's absolutely vital to their prosperity." Howard Nicholas
The West doesn't give a rats ass about the wellbeing of African nations Whenever Western governments discuss their African policies and strategies, they talk more about China than Africa. This shows that whatever they want to do for Africa, the only reason is because they want to counter China, not because of any benefits that may come for Africa. Why would benefitting Africa be a priority for anyone other than Africans? Their heads of state supposedly get elected to advance the interests of their constituents, if they are unable to do so they are poor leaders and weak men or else they work for someone else, nothing more.
