"Developed" generally means "became influenced by European ideas and under the control of Europeans." this is an ethnocentric ay of looking at the continent and its history.
Africa is the birthpalce of the human species. Man of the aeas of Africa supported civilizations before with Europeans. As an example there were cities and universities in Zimbabwe before 1000 CE.
In northern Africa Egyptian civiliation stretches back thousands of years.

Africa is rich in Natural Resources and minerals and it is the origin of Human race. The Egyptian, Axumawyan ( the current Ethiopia ) and other ancient civilizations of Africa were among the leading civilizations of the world. However Africa is now not only the poorest continent in our planet but it is also the best exemplary of poverty, conflict and natural catastrophe. The western media uses only default language to describe Africa and that is hindering Africans and the rest of the world from looking the opportunities and the 'Other Face of Africa'. The world know the conflicts and wars in Sudden/ Darfure / and Congo but no idea where the main minerals the computers and the cell phones are made up of are coming. Any reasonable person who lives in this continent and who has some kind of knowledge about the stage of development our plant has reached would normally feel responsibility for what is happening in Africa.
