Background
Although the population of all countries in Africa is growing at the highest rate, the level of inequality and poverty in this region remains the worst in the world. While the northern and western parts of the continent are relatively wealthy on oil and gas, most of Africa is farming, and under extremely adverse conditions: lack of water, soil erosion, constant political instability.
African countries in most cases still have not been able to overcome the remnants of the colonial economy, with its weak development of the manufacturing industry, infrastructure and transport. The intervention of Western countries is often destructive: the progressive countries of Africa suffered from the “Arab Spring” and foreign intervention, less developed territories are used by Western corporations as dumping grounds for hazardous waste.
