The development of all African countries is inversely proportional to the % of control actual Africans have.

The only development Africa will ever have is the same as the only development they have ever had, if people outside of Africa show up and do it.

China eventually gonna have a few proxy states there and those will magically be developed quickly.

They already had a first world, developed country in Rhodesia. They chose to murder/expel their white population and institute violent communism. And now today it is Zimbabwe and they’re battling crime and famines.

Morocco?

One of the more important nations in the world from a natural resource standpoint that most people are unaware of.

They have 70% of the world's phosphate reserves. Life cannot exist without phosphate.

Botswana isn't terrible for Africa standards. Calling it "developed" is a bit of stretch though.

If it happens, it’ll be one that China controls

One of their biggest problems is brain drain to the United States. The college educated rate among Americans from Nigeria is double the national average in the United States. They're by far the most educated Americans with African ancestry.

Didn't Rhodesia have a pesky genocide problem awhile back? Did the good guys win that one?

The absolute worst place I've ever been to. Victoria Island does not make up for the rest of Nigeria.

Depends on which one embraces the wonders of colonization.

Namibia was a nice place when I visited years ago. Not sure how things are right now. Beautiful country though.
