When is Africa going to emerge from the stone age, they still live in mud huts ?

Answer 1

When are Americans going to stop driving horse-drawn buggies?
And move out of their log cabins?

Africa has some big cities, too, you know. Here is a page with photos of some of them:

And by "cities" I mean places with 500,000 or more people in them. The capital of Egypt has more than 6 million people in it. Or how about Nigeria with 11 cities over 500,000? The largest city in Nigeria has more than 5 million people in it.

While there still are many places in Africa which a westerner would consider primitive, there are also many modern cities. A place as big as Africa (a CONTINENT) has room for everything.

Answer 2

I reason i saw ona movie is because americans donate their clothes to Africa.

Why would affect them? you may ask. Well as i learned....

Africa use to have over 80 textile companies, they supported themselves and gather hundreds of people jobs, then donated clothes started coming in, these came at a cheap cheap cheap price and the companies could not compete with it, therefore most all of the companies shut down, sending hundreds of people to unemployment.

Africa also use to have a larege raw material of copper export, roads, schools, hospitals were all built, then the price of copper went down and so did the economy.

Africa is being held back, some may say, on purpose. With a large unemployment other countries can go in and build factories and pay far less then minimum wages...

Disease and illness are also major effectors of the economy, Malaria alone, in Tanznya (i know i spelt wrong), is very deadly and epidemic.
If a family earngin an average of 200 dollars a years, will not uncommonly, spend a quarter of their income on treatments, which usually are no longer affective.

Africa has bored alot of money and most of their income goes to pay off the debt. Other countries have desnigned plans to 'help' africa, but they do not help to create a nation that will be able to stand on their on.

Africa alos has conflict, and conflict occurs for many reason, one of which is boredom, if someone is not working they have more time to start hatred and fighting. When you have no money, and no food it helps to take ti from others.

Africa was a strong nation, and it will be again one day but it has to rebuild upon the basics. and First world countries need to help in ways that will not only benifit themselves

I think you don't have a clue. If the US was to be destabilized and the economy falter, much like the depression era, than people here would live in cardboard boxes and grow small patches of vegetables to exist. When those countries get a solid form of government and an education system that allows them to learn skills other than goat herding and small farming, then you will see those people raise their standard of living. We have the same issue to our south where Mexico has inhabitants that live like they are in the stone age because of lack of opportunity. If there were no job infrastructure than we too would live native style. I work with a few educated Africans who are just the same as anybody else here. They have a family, a car, a home with a mortgage and go to work everyday to make a life.

Answer 4

As one person already pointed out, when the governments stop being so corrupt.

I would just like to add that this will only happen when the rest of the world stops supporting these corrupt governments.

It's not just an American problem. I want to be clear about that. In fact, most African colonization was done by countries that today are leaders in liberal policy-making: the french, the dutch, etc.

But today, this is a global problem of supporting these corrupt politicians to gain economic advantage over african resources. Whether it's China, or USA, or France... we all share some blame for propping up this farce.

Answer 5

Africa is not a country, it is a continent and there are many countries in various states of economic and social advancement. Are you suggesting that South Africa is in the stone age? Or Egypt, Algeria, Morocco among others?

You sound like an ignorant racist trying to provoke hatred.

Answer 6

There are a lot of large cities in Africa that have current technology. But as you have pointed out, there are tribes that live in mud huts, but its part of a tribal, village life.

Answer 7

When the rulers of their countries stop stealing all the money that is given to them or earned by the country. They blame us for not giving enough but if you do it will get stolen by the rulers and if the country makes a good find i.e Oil then all the profits will go to the leaders and the poor people will get treated worse

Answer 8

Probably about the same time you emerge from the "stoned" age.

Answer 9

The democrat plan is to get the troops out today. That is according to what at least 42% of the American public voted for. Never mind that it would destabilize the middle east, disrupt the supply of oil, sky rocket the price of gas exponentially, cause economic disaster across the globe and provide a safe haven for terrorist to launch attacks against us. The American public is so wise aren't they?
