South Africa, do you agree on my analysis?

Question

Well, Africa has more nations than any continent in the world so it solely depends on the nation.

I believe that only a few nations in Sub-Saharan Africa will improve or stay decent.

Those are;

1. Botswana
2. Angola

Botswana is defined as the Sub-Saharan Africa's oasis from crime and deep poverty and is experiencing notable economic growth. The only main problem is the HIV epidemic.

Angola is experiencing ASTRONOMICAL growth, and the HDI is literally exploding, now post-war. Right now, most of angola is still poor, but remember they just recovered from a HUGE war. Angola also needs aborder, because the last thing Angola needs is a huge population they can't supporta nd have people just moving there to live in a slum, very simlar to what happened to Cote D'Ivoire/Abidjan.

Wild Cards;

1. Gabon
2. South Africa
3. Equitorial Guinea
4. Rwanda
5. Senegal

Gabon, at the moment has the highest HDI (Human Developement Index) in Black Africa, but this is threatened.

Answer 1

Not one of those nations will ever escape beyond 3rd World Status unless it's run by 1st World countries. Instead of bringing in more talented people, they are running them out of the continent.

Any hint of civilization is from the big businesses that have interests in the region's resources. China wants a slice of the pie. We may have to go to war over it one day.



EDIT: China is a 2nd World country.

Answer 2

************** Third World Debt ************



Poor countries and billions of people are being devastated under the burden of debt and trade policies of the IMF, World Bank and the WTO. Zambia in 1997, paid 40% of its total budget to service foreign debt, and only 7% for basic services such as vaccines for children. If debt had been cancelled in 1997 for twenty of the poorest countries, the money released for basic healthcare could have saved the lives of about 21 million children by the year 2000, the equivalent of 19,000 children a day. The failure by the rich countries to cancel the odious debts to the poorest countries in the world leaves the poorest countries in the world with nothing to spend on basic needs and much needed infrastructure, leaving millions in poverty and destitution.









Some Facts



The developing world now spends $1.3 on debt repayment for every $1 it receives in grants. (Nigeria borrowed around $5 billion and has paid about $16 billion, but still owes $28 billion - That $28 billion came about because of the injustice in the foreign creditors' interest rates.

7 Million children die each year as a result of the debt crisis

In the 52 Jubilee 2000 countries, a total population of 1037 million people shoulder a debt burden of £286 billion. It is a curious fact that this is less than the total net worth of the world's 21 richest individuals

Every day in 1999, $128 million was transferred from the poorest countries to the richest in debt repayments. Of this, $53 million was from East Asia and the Pacific, $38 million from South Asia and $23 million from Africa

Spread over 20 years, the cost of canceling the debts of the 52 Jubilee 2000 countries is only one penny a day for each person in the industrialized world.

If debt had been cancelled in 1997 for twenty of the poorest countries, the money released for basic healthcare could have saved the lives of about 21 million children by the year 2000, the equivalent of 19,000 children a day.



Not direct awnser but good exsplanation of our current crisis in the world today. africa is too young to present forecasts of financial tracking. Time will tell, not predict

Answer 3

Do you really expect anybody to take you seriously as you speculate and weave a ridiculous tale or two to support some lame notions you have developed?

Sorry, you're no African expert and there's no basis for not mentioning some countries you omitted in your discussions even when they may have bolstered your flimsy arguments. You obviously don't know as much as you feign to know.

Answer 5

If your so worried about it, than why don't you do something instead of trolling about it on the Internet?
