Firstly, Africa is a continent and NOT a single country. At present it consists of 54 independent and self governing countries or territories.As such, Africa does not have a single capital city or president.Africa is the second largest continent in the world and is bisected midway (east to west) by the equator.Africa is home to a wide variety of cultures and wildlife.Africa has approximately 2,000 spoken languages and almost 4,000 local dialects.Africa is bordered to the west by the Atlantic Ocean, and the Indian Ocean to the east; the Mediterranean Sea separates Africa from Europe (to the north)Africa is also known for its rich mineral resources, such as copper, iron, gold, diamonds and oil; this led to what is known as "the scramble for Africa" in the early 1800's by many European colonial powers who were in search of raw materials.Africa was also central to the Slave Trade in the 16th, 17th and 18th centuries, with millions of people being displaced and relocated to North and South America and Europe.
No, Africa is rich in resources.
True.
Corrupt governments.
In fact, Africa was a rich and powerful continent before the Europeans kind of messed things up a tad bit. Kings in Africa had gold and glory. Perhaps today it would have been a world power like the US
Africa is not a country. Africa is a continent. There are many countries in Africa. Most of the countries in Africa are poor by Western standards.
Africa is the continent that speaks the most number of languages, with over 2,000 recognized languages spoken across the continent. This diverse linguistic landscape is a reflection of the rich cultural heritage and history of the African people.

jhfyffghf Africa is known as 'Dark Continent' with large mountain areas and plains, rich mieral wealth, animal groups and rivers-prohibitting human settlements largely. Population density is thin.
It is not accurate to generalize the economic status of Arabic people in Africa as either poor or rich. Economic status varies among individuals and communities regardless of ethnicity or cultural background. Africa is a diverse continent with a wide range of economic conditions.
There were uprising carried out by the Africans but the Europeans DID NOT stop the trade due to those circumstances. The trade was stopped because the powers realized that taking the African people from the very country that drew them out of the dark ages is'NT going to help them continue to progress. You must remember that Africa was a VERY rich continent, they needed to keep the crops coming to survive. This is why the scrambel for Africa occured. Africa was colonized, which in turn cause both World Wars due to the unfair division of colonial Africa for Germany. Japan allied with Germany to gain colonial power in Asia.
