Poverty is a black thing?

The poor performance of African economies and economies where people are people of color other than whites were invited to ask whether poverty is a black thing or a color.

This issue of poverty is one thing Black has gained credibility in many circles. This question is also asked on Africa because it is the poorest continent the planet. It is a continent where for 30 years, there has been no concrete economic development compared to the rest of the world. It is late on all other continents in terms of economic and social development. Most, if not all countries in Africa have economic problems similar to namely unemployment, high inflation, higher deficits, poor state of economic and social infrastructure, including roads, ports, education, airports, telecommunications, health and sanitation and the rail system. Africa is a continent where people are dying from lack of food, water, and against common preventable diseases. It is a continent full of misery, despair and hopelessness. It is a continent where very few children under the age of five survive the threat of the six killer diseases. It is a continent where people lack access to basic necessities of life. It is a continent where people walk several miles from water and children lack access to educational and medical services. It is a continent where rural life is nothing but condemnation to poverty abject. It is a place where people live in mud / houses thatched with / raffia bamboo leaves as roofing sheets. It is a continent of wars and armed conflict. It is a continent of dictators and kleptocrats, a continent where corruption is rewarded and achievement is unavoidable, a continent where the entry into public life / service is perceived as a means of acquiring wealth and a means to obtain higher positions. It is a continent where life expectancy is low and corruption high.

Is it a color or a race thing? I must say that I do not agree or subscribe to the idea that poverty has a color and suggests that underdevelopment and impoverishment which is widespread in Africa is deeply rooted in centuries of slavery and colonialism, coups, armed conflicts, brain drain, endemic corruption and mismanagement dictatorship, kleptocracy, foreign intervention and the struggle for control of natural resources.

Slavery and colonialism

Centuries of slavery and colonialism has deprived the continent of its resources capable of human and economic. Men and women in action were taken to work in plantations of the Americas (in all about 30 to 40 million people) and they have helped make America and Europe they are today. Millions of young Africans were forced to abandon the continent of their origin and were transported thousands of miles return to a land where they had no historic attachment. They traveled in very poor conditions, without food, water and air. When they reached the so-called new worlds, they were made to work from morning to sunset the only time they had on their own which was Sunday they had everything they needed their own as planting their crops, repair their homes. It was a very unpleasant experience of having work for us without pay. Some have even worked until they dropped dead. The slave trade deprived the continent of its men and women strong a vital resource in any development process and sank the continent in an intellectual nature.

Looting Resources

About the same time that slavery was vigorously pursued, natural resources including timber, gold, diamonds, tin ore, ivory and many more were looted in large quantities by European countries including Belgium, Britain, France, Germany, Portugal, Spain and Italy. After slavery was abolished the looting of natural resources continues. The irony is that virtually all income from these resources were used to finance economic and infrastructure development European countries all with little or nothing to be used to develop the various countries where these resources came from. A clear example is the case of Democratic Republic of Congo, where King Leopold II of Belgium enslavement of Africans, forced to work without pay, has killed about 10 million and plundered the country's resources and virtually nothing has been used to invest in the country with the exception of weapons that the Belgian army used to terrorize and kill Africans. When the DRC was transferred from Leopold II to the state Belgium, looting and killing continued until DRC gained its independence in 1960. In fact, DRC (Congo Free State) was the main supplier of rubber raw materials vital for the tire industry and all the money from the sale of rubber went to Belgium. King Leopold II was able to transform Belgium among countries poorest in Europe into one of the richest courtesy enslavement and looting of Africans and their resources.

Belgium is not only in what she has done for the continent. Britain, France, Spain, Portugal, Germany and Italy have all been looted Africa its gold, diamonds, ivory, timber, cobalt, coltan, tin ore, bauxite, manganese and minerals you can think of. Africans who resisted the illegal activities have been killed by the millions as happened in the South West Africa (now Namibia), where the Germans from 1904 to 1907 committed the first genocide of the 20th century, killing the Herero and Namaqua people. While Europe became richer in Africa got poorer, and the trend continued until 1950, when African countries began to gain their "independence" to begin with Libya in 1951, Sudan, Morocco, Tunisia, in 1956, and all in Ghana 1957.

With little or no investment in the continent, the post-colonial governments inherited different countries with virtually no infrastructure: roads, railways, ports, telecommunications, education, health and sanitation and airports. The only areas that saw some of the little infrastructure investment during the colonial period were ones where materials have been heavily mined. The achievement of independence does not come on silver Plata. Algeria, Zimbabwe, Angola, Kenya, Namibia and to some extent, South Africa all gained independence from their colonial masters by struggles arm and in most cases, the little infrastructure that existed were destroyed by conflict.

Participation foreign

As if slavery, colonialism and the looting of the continent's resources have not been sufficiently Africa became a battleground during the Cold War as both superpowers and their allies fought for influence and control over the continent, mainly for its resources. Therefore, many African governments who consider themselves pro-Russia or America have been reversed using the military. One example is the overthrow of Dr. Kwame Nkrumah of Ghana on February 24, 1966. Another example is the overthrow and assassination of Patrice Lumumba of the Congo on January 17 leaders 1961.Other such as Nelson Mandela was imprisoned for either case for independence or improve conditions Africans. CIA and Western intelligence agencies have been blamed for engineering the murder and overthrow of elected leaders of Africa. For example, Larry Devlin, Chief of the CIA station in the Congo during the days of Patrice Lumumba told the Washington Post in December 2008 saying that refused an order to assassinate Patrice Lumumba, but his refusal did not prevent the CIA and the Government of Belgium for the overthrow and murder. Murder attack against Gamal Nasser of Egypt October 24, 1954 and the assassination of President Anwar Sadat in 1981 was attributed to the work of M16 due their refusal to put Britain on the administration of the Suez Canal for the British.

The CIA, the KGB and its allies and encouraged financed the wars and political instability across the continent. Angola has become the battlefield of the CIA, KGB and Chinese as everyone tried to take control the country, its people and resources. The civil war that ravaged Angola in 1975 has ended in 1991 after 26 years of conflict. When war ended the little infrastructure that remained after the war of independence (1961-1974) had disappeared.

On March 7, 2004 Simon Mann, a British citizen, a veteran officer of mercenaries and former members of elite special forces, British (SAS), and 69 other mercenaries were arrested at a military airfield outside Harare, Zimbabwe. Their destination was the Equatorial Guinea in West Africa. Their mission was to overthrow Teodoro Obiang Nguema, president of the oil-rich Equatorial Guinea, a country of 600,000 people. In his defense, He said some influential members of the British establishment that its financiers and donors, including Jack Straw, justice minister, Peter Mandelson, former European Union Trade Commissioner and Secretary of State for Business, Enterprise & Regulatory Reform, Sir Mark Thatcher, a businessman and son of former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, Jeffrey Archer key Tory member who was sentenced for perjury and Ely Calil Smelly a Lebanese trader accused of oil to finance the plot. Mark Thatcher was arrested in South Africa and responsible for providing the aircraft that made Simon Mann in Harare. Thatcher pleaded guilty in South Africa and was then made to pay 300,000 pounds in exchange for a prison sentence. The coup has been to Severo Moto, an opposition leader living in Spain over the country. The coup was to give both the conspirators and their sponsors free access to indisputable oil resources in the nation. If the coup had succeeded and Mann acolytes have turned Equatorial Guinea in one of the sad stories usual in Africa, bloodshed, corruption, mismanagement, Poverty and What you have. The governments of Spain, South Africa and others in the West have been seriously involved to be aware of the plot. Thank you to the vigilance of the regime of Robert Mugabe the coup was to nip in the bud. Unfortunately, most countries rich in natural resources of the continent have not been all that lucky.

Among these mercenaries who sought to return to Africa their former colonial masters was Bob Denard. Indeed, Mann is just a small fry compared to Bob Denard, a French who made a career as a mercenary overthrow leaders in Africa. When Bob Denard died in 2007, it had more than a dozen hits to his credit. Four of these shots occurred in the Comoros Island. The French writer Jean Guisnes, which followed Denard career and has written extensively about the French government, "said Denard had nothing that was contrary to French interests – and he acted in close cooperation with intelligence agencies. Denard mercenary career had place between 1950 and 1980. During this period he was involved in post independence Nigeria, Benin in 1977, Angola, Zaire – now DRC and the former Rhodesia – which is now Zimbabwe. Registration of frustration and lack of Justice Comorians, Mr. Abdou Soulé Elbak, former president of Grande Comore said: "This man sullied our history," referring to Denard. "I regret that there was no response to all crimes he committed in our country, murder and torture to which he was guilty of, "said Moustoifa Said Cheikh, leader of the Democratic Front Party. All these activities were mercenaries on the continent because of natural resources.

The product of all, it was political instability and destruction will of life and property that have afflicted Africa until today. As the elected leaders of the continent have been assassinated, overthrown and subject to all kind of cold war tactics, including bribery, arm twisting and blackmail the continent degenerated and faults on all aspects of activity human. The new generation of leaders who replaced the leaders of post-colonial independence, which were largely the puppet governments EU and U.S. have become increasingly authoritarian and corrupt. Joseph Mobutu Sese Seko who has become the choice of Americans Having participated in the assassination Lumumba ruled Congo for 32 years and in those years, the country became poorer than Mobutu and his cronies got richer, especially Western countries, United States and its allies had a free hand to loot the mineral resources, the largest cobalt mineral very important for the development missiles. Little development activities has been carried out by Mobutu. As a result Congo today can be accessed by boat and boats, mainly from the Congo River.

Like tyrants and dictators has the support of Western governments and did what they wanted with their savings, perhaps their people are impoverished and hopelessness and despair are the hallmarks of their lives. As the little money that is entered into the government coffers were taken by corrupt government officials and civil servants, there was almost no money to complete infrastructure development and poverty deepens. Poverty, despair and hopelessness visited the people and coupled with their inability to change their government democratically, dissents have been sown among the people who serve as breeding grounds for more shots, civil wars and civil disturbances. Was evidence in Ghana, Nigeria, Niger, Ivory Coast, Gambia, Liberia, Mauritania, Algeria, Gabon, Togo, Cameroon, Equatorial Guinea, Guinea-Bissau, Central Africa Republic, Chad, Sudan, Ethiopia, Uganda and Sierra Leone have all been beaten in years 1960, 1970, 1980 and even early 1990s. These waves blows were followed by civil wars that struck Liberia, Sierra Leone, Ivory Coast, Congo, Chad, Central African Republic, Somalia, Uganda, Sudan, Angola, Niger and Guinea. These wars outside her human cost has also contributed to destruction of roads, ports, airports, railways, telecommunications, hospitals, schools and livelihoods of people. In the absence infrastructure of these countries have been unable to make any progress in terms of economic development.

Bank global, IMF and the role of foreign companies

The World Bank and IMF (Bretton Woods institutions) and businesses abroad have also played their role in endemic poverty on the continent. Most African countries billions of debt incurred through bonds contracted with the Bank and IMF. Most of these conditional loans were used to amortize the debt already held by these poor countries. The loans were also used to pay foreign expatriates who came to the continent as "technical experts".

Some of these loans have also been used to undertake projects and programs that benefited only the rich. Again part of the loan has also been hijacked by corrupt politicians and officials.

The Structural Adjustment Program (SAP) imposed to poor African countries by the Bank and IMF have forced governments to abandon their support for the public sector with serious consequences. The removal of agricultural subsidies in particular has made it difficult for farmers to compete with their western counterparts who receive millions of dollars in subsidies public each year. Riots and disturbances on the food shortages and high prices of foodstuffs that have occurred in Egypt, Haiti, Ivory Coast, Liberia, Mauritania, Indonesia, Afghanistan, Eritrea, Somalia and Sierra Leone in 2008 were the direct result of the Bank and the pills Bitter IMF prescribed these poor countries.

Thanks to SAP and other policies of the Bank and the IMF's investment in education, health, transport and other sectors of the economy has declined considerably. Governments have also been forced to privatize SOEs. The sad aspect of this exercise was that almost all companies have gone to foreigners and products used to solve debt already held by these poor countries. Unable to pay their debts and liquidity trapped these poor countries turned to the Bank and the IMF for loans more and the response of the Bank was to open markets to foreign goods and embrace globalization. Consequently, the continent is become a dumping ground for foreign goods. Unable to compete with the influx of cheap foreign products most local firms do not choice but to close, lay off millions of workers and devastating to many families. Mr. John Jenkins author of "Confessions of an Economic Hit Man has written extensively on how the Bank, the IMF and cartels of various large companies and combined to maintain Africans and the developing world in the state where they are today. Please watch John Jenkins on youtube where he tells his Extraordinary Story on YouTube. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yTbdnNgqfs8

The presence of companies such as Shell, Mobil, Chevron, BP, Total, Rio Tinto, Texaco, BHP Billiton, Anglo American and others have contributed at High poverty on the continent. These companies, which are particularly resource extraction in nature have destroyed the once rich soil of Africa, forcing many farmers to abandon their farms and losing their livelihoods. Rivers, wells and streams used by the people for their daily activities such as washing and drinking have been contaminated by these non-profit corporations. Fishing in most mining and oil drilling stopped that pollution killed fish stocks in these rivers and lagoons rendering unemployed fishermen. Communities, a glorious time of life are now ghost communities as land, rivers, lakes and wells have been destroyed. Breathing, nausea and other illnesses related to the operation mining is increasing in many communities where the mining and oil drilling took place, but these companies have profit abandon their social responsibilities they owe to the people. In August 2006, a Dutch company called Trafigura dumped waste highly toxic to Abidjan in Ivory Coast killing 17 people and sickening thousands. These inhumane acts byTrafigura is just a tip of the iceberg.

Brain Drain

The poverty on the continent has also taken about following the serious brain drain that has hit the continent in recent times. The drain of doctors, engineers, architects, lawyers, judges, bankers, accountants, teachers, nurses, planners, agricultural experts and others have limited our ability to implement projects and programs. The flight of intellectuals has issued numerous government agencies very low. In some communities there are hospitals without doctors and nurses. In others there are universities and colleges without faculty and teachers. Countries like Malawi, Zimbabwe, Nigeria, Ghana and Liberia have both lost their professionals in the richer countries of Europe and America so well that many of their industries have decided to hire foreign expertise to cope. For example, there are more Malawian doctors in Manchester City alone than the entire combined Malawi. The irony is that governments are using scarce resources to train these intellectuals only for them to leave the country for greener pastures abroad. Britain and the United States are the main beneficiaries of the brain drain and even if they are aware of the negative effect is huge have on these poor developing countries, they did nothing to discourage it, in most cases they have promoted.

Corruption and mismanagement

Corruption is another cancer that has tragically impoverished continent. Africa South Egypt there is no country where corruption is endemic. According to African Union (AU) around 148 billion of dollars are stolen from the continent by its ERS lead and officials. In my Forbes 2006 list of most corrupt nations had 9 of 16 countries from Africa. Since oil was discovered in Nigeria there are about 50 years, several billion dollars have been made from her but now all the people still live in abject poverty and the country has nothing to show for it. Than men to Following power and women are fighting dangerous sea comes to enter Europe and try their luck. Others have led to 419 people a scam used to get people to give their money and valuables. Those who appear to have benefited from oil are corrupt politicians, officials and oil companies like Shell, Mobil, BP and their American counterparts. In fact, Nigeria has always been in the top 1% of the country most corrupt in the world. Between 2005 and 2007, several state governors and their immediate family were arrested in London on Scotlandyard corruption and money laundering charges. Among them, James Ibori of Delta state rich in oil and his wife Therese, who had their 35 million worth of assets frozen by the court of England. Mr Ibori wins about one thousand dollars a month, but during his eight years as governor of the state, he managed to acquire wealth, amounting to 35 million dollars and has been a key contributor to the campaign of the current president of Nigeria. He owns a private jet and lavish London home. Another is corrupt governor Diepreye Alamieyeseigha, Governor of the State oil-rich Bayelsa, who was also arrested in London on charges of money laundering. Alamieyeseigha broken conditions of his bail and evaded capture in Britain by dressing as a woman. When police conducted a search at his home in London, they found a value of one million pounds of silver in his house. Another governor, who was arrested in England was Joshua Dariye of Plateau State. He was arrested in a London hotel for stealing money intended for development his condition. In South Africa Jacob Zuma is still facing justice for his role in the multi-billion arms deal in 2001 in South Africa. He was forced to resign as vice-president of South Africa. The late Mobutu's 32 years as President of Zaire, now Democratic Republic of the Congo raised billions of dollars belonging to the people of Congo. In 2006, former President of Malawi Bakili Muluzi was arrested for pocketing 12 million dollars paid to his poor countries by foreign governments. Again the former Zambian president Frederick Chiluba was arrested with two Businessmen Aaron Chungu and Faustin Kabwe and charged with 11 counts of stealing money intended for the development of Zambia. In Equatorial Guinea, where oil exports earned the country billions of dollars, 600,000 people in the country still live in poverty while Teodoro Obiang Nguema and his cronies continue to siphon off oil revenues without accountability. Gabon and Angola, two oil-exporting countries are no different. In fact, governments in Gabon and Equatorial Guinea can be described as a kleptocracy is a government by thieves. In countries like Nigeria, Egypt, Cameroon, Gambia, Sudan, Uganda, Libya, Tunisia kleptocracy class people have replaced democracy there. In these countries, very few people continue to stay in power and people have no say in how their country is governed or run. By example Gaddafi of Libya has been in power for 39 years now. Omar Bongo of Gabon, 31, Teodoro Obiang Nguema of Equatorial Guinea 28 years, Robert Mugabe, Zimbabwe, 28 years, Hosni Mubarak of Egypt for 27 years, Paul Biya of Cameroon 26 years, Yoweri Museveni of Uganda for 22 years, Omar Al Bashir of Sudan, 19 years Iddriss Derby of Chad, 17, of Gambia Yahya Jammeh, 14 years, and the list is endless. What is clear is that these unelected leaders continue to amass wealth at the expense of poor countries and to continue to mismanage all that remains of their corruption. Like most leaders are former military or former rebel without entering the economy and management, they are unable to make any sound economic policies that will make their economies grow there, Poverty has become a part of the people but their leaders know what poverty is. A visit to the region of the Niger Delta in Nigeria shows that majority of the population are unemployed. Years of oil spills have made the soil unsuitable for any agricultural activity. The streams and wells are polluted and people have no access to basic necessities of life, even if billions of dollars was realized from the sale of oil from this region each year. In the 1990s, economic hardship, misery, and destruction of the environment forced the people of Ogoniland to demand a say in which Shell operates, but the military regime headed by General Sani Abacha arrested Environment directed by Ken Sorowiwa and executed. These sums for development of States that these governors have been caught bank outside Europe. All efforts to persuade the Nigerian government to develop the oil-rich areas fell on death ears until that unemployed youth have taken up arms against the Federal Government. They have kidnapped foreign oil workers and demanded a ransom before their victims have been released. They have disrupted oil production forcing oil companies to move several miles offshore for their own safety, but they were not sure either. Finally, companies had to reduce their production by 25% in 2007-8. These disruptions affected the supply of oil on the world market requires it to skyrocket the price to $ 140 a barrel summer 2008.

In DR Congo, it is estimated that gold and diamond deposits alone could fetch the country 23 billion dollars not to mention the abundance of wood and several other minerals found in large quantities, such as columbite-tantalite (coltan) and cassiterite (tin ore) more years of corruption, mismanagement, conflicts and foreign participation has made this resource in a rich nation the poorest in the world. Coltan is used in each example mobile telephone number and a electronic devices in the world. Cassiterite used in electronic circuits is the most traded metal on the London Stock Exchange Exchange. It is often said that Western nations can not maintain their current lifestyle without Congo and most companies in the west can easily Congo without going bankrupt. question is whether the Congo is the blood line of the west and west is rich because of the then Congo Congo why is so poor, and Where are the billions of dollars from the sale of those minerals? The answer lies in the history of the nation is corruption, slavery, colonialism, assassinations, armed conflicts and foreign involvement. Since independence from Belgium in 1960, there has not been peace in the country. Several million Congolese died about 4 million of them over the last eight years alone, and most of the dead are civilians. Conflict in Congo is essentially about who controls resources that huge country. The country's enormous size has made his administration very difficult. And the problem is exacerbated by weak, poorly trained, undisciplined and very corrupt Congolese army who kidnap, terrorize, rape and murder people instead of protecting them.

The various militias operating in eastern Canada have made life very difficult and unbearable for the people calendar. These armed groups with the support of Rwanda and Uganda have largely exploited the region with impunity – kidnapping, rape, murdering and robbing the poor people. Jean Pierre Bemba who is now facing war crimes at The Hague was a warlord notorious whose activities have not escaped the International Criminal Court (ICC). Another notorious warlord, who is still operating with impunity is Laurent Nkunda. A visit to the town of Walikale, east of the country explains in vivid terms why people are so desperately poor. People have abandoned their farms and moved in the mine, but everything is made from mining is abducted by the Congolese Army and predators always present say the armed groups. These armed groups forcing people to mine the minerals without paying. Unable to farm and not paid for their labor, most of them have credit support to survive. Every day in Walikale about 16 aircraft flying out of town with loads of mineral bound Rwanda. These minerals stolen still find their way into the mineral market in West London and Switzerland. Revenues are shared by the warlords in Congo, generals, politicians and businessmen in Rwanda and the rest is used to purchase weapons that are used to terrorize the population and prolong the war.

Recommendations and Conclusion

It is clear that many forces inside and outside the continent have made the poorest continent on the planet. But there is no time to look back but a time to look forward and get our acts together, get organized and start doing something. The progress that has been made by China, India, Korea, Taiwan, Singapore, Malaysia, Gulf countries, including Bahrain, Kuwait, UAE, Saudi Arabia and Qatar during the 30 to 50 last years shows that poverty has nothing to do with color or race. Nations become poor because their leaders are unable to formulate policies and programs that address their problems.

To reverse the negative impact of centuries of slavery and colonialism of a hand, and decades of coups, civil wars, corruption, mismanagement and foreign intervention, on the other hand, governments should focus their attention on reforming their institutions and democratic to allow free and fair elections are held. They should do more fight against corruption and mismanagement, to establish independent oversight agencies of corruption, strengthen the judiciary and is responsible to the people.

They must limit the powers of the Army and embark on concrete, sound and the result of policies conducted and provide more incentives to discourage brain drain.

Governments must commit to strengthening economic infrastructure and social – schools, hospitals, roads, railways, telecommunications, airports, ports, markets, which will lay the groundwork for a economic and social development. They should establish research institutions to determine how best to utilize the various natural resources to benefit the people. As the saying goes "the resources are not, but they become" that is to say you may have all natural resources in the world, but if you do not the ability to transform them into useful products / supplies for the benefit of the people, they are nothing.

The AU should be more concerned the fight against poverty was not just a talking shop for the plutocrats and corrupt dictators.
