“I believe this is fundamentally an economics problem.”
If it were fundamentally an economics problem the continent of Africa would be an economic powerhouse.
I’ll leave things there.

Africa is handicapped by many things. One of which is that most national boundaries were drawn by Europeans. There was no regard for tribal territories or anything like that. It would be like that if in 1900, some great power had drawn up a nation that was 1/3 German, 1/3 Polish, and 1/3 Russian. Such a nation would be doomed to fail.
Then there is the corruption, and the lack of the rule of law. So my comment above does not explain everything. But I think it explains a good slice anyway.
