What Happened to Africa Rising? It’s Been Another Lost Decade
The continent’s social and political malaise are symptoms of economic distress — not the causes.By Javier Blas

The series of coups d’etat plaguing sub-Saharan Africa — at least nine attempts in three years — plus a continent-wide political malaise have prompted some soul searching. What’s gone wrong?
Many have pondered a myriad of factors, from growing Russian influence to ongoing corruption. But those are symptoms, not causes, of what truly ails the continent: economic distress.
An utter dependence on commodities has proven harmful. Across the region, borrowing costs have risen to unaffordable levels; Chinese loans and direct foreign investment are drying up; and the legacy of the recent Covid crisis persists.
African finance ministers are having to make impossible choices between paying the salaries of civil servants, keeping schools and hospitals open or compensating foreign investors.
People are fed up with governments failing to improve conditions. Mix this with a young and increasingly urban population that voraciously consumes social media, and you have an explosive cocktail.
Measuring economic wellbeing across a continent as vast and diverse as Africa — 54 countries plus several territories whose independence is disputed — is tough. Generalizations and rough benchmarks are inevitable. The result is, obviously, imperfect. But despite its shortcomings, nothing beats looking at the region’s gross domestic product per capita as a measure of prosperity.
On that metric, the troubles are clear: Sub-Saharan Africa GDP per capita peaked in 2014 at $1,936 and has since fallen more than 10% to about $1,700 this year. In the same period, global GDP per capita has risen nearly 15%.

Jialat, many SPGs will lust over these new superpowers!
CECA is a major power Player before kena hantum and enslave by British White Raj
Short cut is not to wait for India, but ride along China tides for quicker and full proof effective results.
Yeedia already build it's LCA fighter and nuclear submarine liao.... Now succesful landing on moon... Ish 天下笫四高手
Sub Saharan Africa is like the steppes but lack water. Same nomadic lifestyle.
Libya found a source of underground water and piped it to the northern cities but NATO destroyed that. All in the cause of human rights.
ceca was created by british. before the brits there was no ceca
for some reason ppl in warm weather regions tend to be "soft".
you see norkies. have they given up nukes or icbm? they may even test asat in the future.
but you saw gaddafi the moron giving up nukes and missile program for some western bonhomie. now he got a bottle shoved up his rectum by other libyans.
btw gaddafi was an absolute moron and a terrible dictator who came to power through a coup. other Muslim countries should have helped topple him. what I see is most Muslim countries are populated by soft, (not resolute) leaders and peoples who cave in at the slightest pressure incl Iran of course. and it was iran which supposed led an Islamic revolution. how pathetic are these ppls.
I must add today it's an absolute shame for all Muslims that Muslims are the largest population group with nukes icbm and asat.
Muslims DESERVE to be the laughing stock globally today because Muslims lack weapons. not for any other reasons. weapons settle all other disputes.
