I believe it boils down to one basic thing. Pick a nation... any nation on that continent. Once you get out onto the land you learn that tribalism is still the backbone of all the nations.
They never experienced higher levels of politics. You have to keep in mind, their culture is one where the chiefs will mess up anyone who poses a threat to their power.
Anyone with more ideas, more money, more charisma....
Yup, the great oppressors have the people preconditioned.
Hopefully with the internet they will realize how backwards they are and then act on it.....
Sounds like Middle East countries still today, and this despite their wealth, which is controlled by a few. Te same will happen in Africa once they start raping the country...only a few will gain from the wealth. The mindset of the people will remain.
Take a look at Haiti and that's about as far as you can expect them to go if that. Most continue to practice voo-doo and all the mind bending junk they brought from Africa with them.....and they do so when they come here to the states as well.
Overall the nation isn't going to change much...
