I read on a news paper that on the early 1000 Africa had few deseases and was not impecunious.
Africa is so rich geographically. It has everything that most continents have, heck maybe even better than some, but still it's not growing economically and countries getting poorer.
Is it because the europians divided the continent and made countries which is the cause of most civil wars. Also who made cities where deseases increased drumatically
Is it because of the corrupted government.
why is africa so poor.. whats the history?

Africa is very reach.
the Africans from some reasons can not translate the richness of the land and convert it for their benefits.
this is also not completely true. as people of power in that part of the world doesn't demonstrate "clean hand governess"

So simply, many advanced countries they want Africa to stay like this forever so that less people can complete with them. If these advanced countries really want to help Africa like they did before to Japan or Israil African people shouldn't have to suffer that much!

Because democracy is not an allowed form of government. African nations are run by strong arm military dictatorships, designed to claim all the riches for themselves and nothing for the masses.

I believe it is because of corrupt governments. Not all African countries are poor. The ones that aren't poor have good, stable governments.
