I know you think Africa is still largely a charity case but everyone else knows that its the next big growth market that will be easily plundered due to weak political systems and fragmentation.
I don't think it will be "plundered", though -- the foreigners (white and Asian) doing business going to Africa are making life better for everyone.
There are a lot of NGOs and UN organizations still operating in Africa which don't help (and never really helped). But there are small, usually religious, charities who are also doing good, just like they do in Asia, Europe, and the US.
Profit from weapons. Profit from (medical) patents. Will never sell industrial patents, whilst exploiting African Earth.
You know the story of how chickens are fed dead-chicken-matter ?
The white man know only to take. Never to give.
