Answer 2

For the most part of the African history , the land has been ravaged and taken advantage of the more powerful people. Pilaging the poor and helpless. Even selling own people to slavery. It goes so far back , and it carries over to this very day. The corrupt evil gov. or dictators continue to take advantage of people who are literally starving for the most part.Also the other "western countries " don't seem to care, turning their backs on the unfortunates in Africa.. Otherwise there would of been many uprising thus far.

Answer 3

It's not just African leaders, it is leaders all over the world who are corrupt and power greedy.

Ex.

Cuba = Fidel Castro
Venezuela = Hugo Chavez
North Korea = Kim Jung Il

Answer 4

They are no more corrupt and power greedy than any other leaders, they simply lack the organisation and know how to hide the truth from the rest of the world.

Answer 5

Mostly because the citizens of those countries don't have the means to defend themselves, or overthrow the government. This is what happens when the government overpowers it's people by denying freedom.

Also, the so called United Nations will do nothing to help those people. There is no money in it for them, so they will let the innocent suffer. That is until, the United States decides to go in and get the job done. Then we will be called occupiers, fascists, Nazi's, and so on.

So, it looks like innocent people will suffer, or the US will pay the price for their freedom.

Answer 6

Not just Africans. All nations have corrupt and power greedy people in parlament or court. That's just the way it is.

Answer 7

Most people in a position of power are corrupt.

Christian or Muslim? Anglo Saxan or Asian? and u can comprehend why the different ethnic communities in africa are combating with one yet another and that's why alot of the circumstances there leaders are so blood thirsty and corrupt. you may ask why dont they simply provide different ethnic communities there very own land to strengthen there very own usa? properly look at Israel and Palestine. Israel for sure does not prefer to surrender any land as they might could provide up ingredients and different issues mandatory to make a usa rich. in actuality colonization has destroyed Africa and this may be rather perplexing for Africa to recover from. yet i think all of it in simple terms comes down too "Why cant we in simple terms get all alongside?".........Sorry if i did not make it too clean i became in simple terms piecing together random thought on your question and its 2:30 AM right here in Australia lol properly i'm hoping i helped besides
