Please note that the diamond mines in Africa are not owned by Africans, but by immigrants who purchased the land, and who mine the Natural Resources of the continent.

Africa richest region in terms of minerals?
Africa has so many natural resources but is still extremely poor for a few reasons. The Europeans conquered most of black Africa during the middle ages, have made the natives work hard for little to no money, and kept all the resources to themselves. (Gold mines, diamond mines, leathers, fruit etc.) Nowadays due to the pretty crappy education systems in Africa (or most official systems there in general) the Europeans still control the uneducated people of Africa, once again taking all to themselves.
