Why is the gap between rich and poor so wide in many African countries?

The gap between rich and poor exists everywhere. There is no place in the world that dares to say that there are no poor people. The reason why Africa attracts attention is that the poor in this place are really too poor.

The gap between rich and poor is too normal. Africa, which has attracted special attention, even if you travel to the poorest countries in Africa, you can still see luxurious villas, but most people still live in straw shacks; Even in India, if you go to Mumbai, you will still be poor and rich. In the drama about a street, on one side there are high-rise buildings comparable to the Shanghai Bund, and on the other side there are slums with garbage everywhere and sewage flowing across them.

Part of the reason should be immigration. The elites and rich people of any country are willing to immigrate to developed countries or richer countries immediately after getting rich. It is human nature and pursuit to pursue a better living environment. And the vast majority of people in the country will become poorer and poorer.

This gap between rich and poor is also a problem left over from history, or is the result of long-term history. The indigenous black people in many areas have been frightened and exploited by capitalism, and have lost their self-confidence and strength. They fear, depend on, and even flatter Western countries. The rise of capitalist entertainment culture gave them illusions. France discovered several football talents in Africa, and the NBA discovered several basketball stars in Africa, making several people rich and hopeful. But essentially, most people are poor and that hasn't changed from generation to generation.

It is useless to change the poverty of a few people. The most important thing is to gradually get people out of poverty. We will not go back to that reincarnation. From generation to generation, the gap between the rich and the poor is getting wider and wider.
