Who says they are poor? There are many riches in life. If the tribal people living in Africa are happy, dispite not having modern conveniences, then their lives are rich. Living simple has it's advantage over so-called sophistication of "worldly" possessions.
Bet the Africanneers don't cringe come tax time or check their caller id for the bill collector...lol. I know a missionary couple that moved to Africa who love the timeless stress-free life and don't miss the rat-race in the US at all.

No one is helping them most of the countries are in a lot of debt and they have a large population of aids over there people keep on dying living kids behind to take care of them selves getting sick and the government is not doing much. And also I don't only blame the government the people should try to get along other than fighting and killing each other for no good reason maybe when some of the criminal realize that they are not getting anywhere by killing one another then just maybe the countries will change more people will help and they will not be so poor.

depends how you see it: africa may be poor, but it sure doesn't have many of the useless issues rich countries have to deal with, or the endless problems the west invents itself.
i think africa is poor becoz its leaders are greedy, irresponsible, mean, selfish and corrupted as*sholes. but then, even western leaders are like that as well: they're just better at hiding stuff and faking false concern. also, even though all world leaders are the same, it's more disastrous when african leaders are like that becoz africa's had a very poor start and has no solid foundation yet.

they are poor because they live on a large continent that is nothing but barren waste land (desert) with hardly any food or water. there are tribes there that have not seen a white man. its so uncivilized because the "president" there doesnt want africa to become like america and all. it would be pointless. there are little countries within africa that are civilized and have no poverty, but when you reach the center of africa where theres nothing but heat and sand, then thats where you reach the poverty.
peace.

The richest people in Africa are the Bureaucrats and the Politicians. The #1 industry seems to be Graft and Corruption. Then there the Tribesmen who don't want to change their lifestyle.
