Africa has suffered a lot of problems I think mainly from the terrible leaders it has had. Mugabe killed millions of his own people in Africa by feeding his enemies to crocodiles and Omar Hassan slaughtered Sudanese people by the truckload, and first president of Equatorial Guinea was basically the black version of pol pot, all of these African dictators used child soldiers in their military to serve their own ends. I think with a good compassionate leader things could really turn around
