Why is it that Africa is so far behind as a civilized society even though they are the cradle of civilization?
Why is it that disease, famine, poverty and strife continue to plague these poor people after hundreds of years? I mean it's not like they don't have abundant natural resources. Can anyone help me out? Thank you!
