BECAUSE THE WE'RE COLONIZED AND ENSLAVE BY EUROPEANS. That's like asking why blacks in America don't own bank institutions like J.P. Morgan when they were here in the late 1800's like whites.
Most of the great African empires fell due to in fighting, famine, the rapidly changing Sahara, and invasion by Arab Muslims, chiefly the Sultanate of Morocco. White Europeans capitalized on an already established slave trading system. They traded with larger African states who had enslaved their enemies. The Arabs enslaved and brutalized millions of more Africans then Europeans did. Millions more. Literally in country's like Ethiopia, a quarter of the country's population were enslaved Africans. It in no way excused Europeans, but what they did pails in comparison to the horrors the Arabs inflicted upon northern and Western Africa. Colonization did nothing but harm to Africa as well, but it doesn't excuse or explain the rise of monsters like Idi Amin, Prince Johnson, or Mobuto Sese Soko. Ultimately, everyone involved is deserving of blame in what large portions of Africa have become today. Europeans colonists, pre and post colonial African leaders, and Arabs all played a part in causing the social and economic disaster that parts of Africa are today.

People like you help me keep faith in society. It's just amazing to me that so many people on this board think Africa just didn't develop like the rest of the world because they were lazy and dumb. People need to realize there is more history than just white history. Schools cover almost all aspect of history but that of Africa so many people are ignorant to it.This post was edited on 9/4/15 at 3:32 am
