I don't think they "desired" African slaves. At first many explorers brought back people from places they had visited on their voyages, but most of them died before the explorers could get the new slaves back to Europe. So i don't think the African slaves were really targeted, it was just from where the explorers sailed to.

What is a primary reason European languages are spoken in Africa today?
European languages are spoken in Africa today primarily due to colonization by European countries. The imposition of European languages during the colonial period resulted in them becoming official languages in many African countries. Additionally, ongoing economic, political, and social ties with European countries have contributed to the continued use of these languages in Africa.

Is neocolonialism the source of African countries being underdeveloped?
Neocolonialism is certainly a part of the reason that African countries are underdeveloped. The exploitation of Africa's resources by wealthy foreign businesses (European, American, Chinese, and Russian) prevents the governments and peoples of these countries from properly profiting from these resources themselves. However, neocolonialism is not the only reason for African country's underdevelopment. Some other very important reasons are: internal corruption within African governments, ethnic and tribal disputes, low levels of national unity, infrastructure failures, lack of industrial development, poor allocation of foreign AID money, and high tariffs and non-tariff barriers on African products in developed countries and/or subsidies for domestically-produced equivalents in developed countries that shut out African competitors.
