[QUOTE="lolmands"][QUOTE="RockysCatnipCo"]They had independence before then though and they still had a primitive bartering economy. The main reason they are in the state they are in, is their lack of natural resources necessary to industrialize.RockysCatnipCo

Africa is not like you think, media make it seem that way, but it aint all like that. Anyways so what if some parts of it dont have the technology?RTUUMM

[QUOTE="lolmands"]ummm ... how old are you guys? slavery..colonialism for hundreds of years... most african countries only got independce in the 60-70sRockysCatnipCo

Most of Africa seems to be pretty empty as far as natural resources. They lacked pack animals and water for large farms (which Europe had), which means there are many nomadic tribes instead of settlements growing into culture. Then let us not forget that European countries had laid claim to most if not all of the continent at one point and when they marked out territoris they did so like a monkey with a canvas and 10 different buckets of paint. This gives us countries like Lesotho which is bordered on all sides by South Africa.
