I'd like to agree with just about all you say, but it's not that simple and the solution is not so idealistic. You are just not taking so much into account.
Africans are tribal. If a man has access to wealth he will not share it. He will marry many times and have a massive fucking family.
Do you know that men in South Africa belive that they will be cured of AIDS if they fuck a virgin? This is the same country where the president doesn't believe that AIDS is caused by HIV infection.
Slavery. Been going on in Africa since well before we went there and is alive and well to this day. In Africa. And I don't mean working in McDonald's.
We haven't even mentioned religion yet. Christian missionaries are a plague, but at least they don't advocate female circumcision.
Ah fekk. Chew that.

Rwanda is a prime example of people fucked over by colonisation. Did you know that the two tribal groups involved there didn't exist before colonisation but come from a class system introduced by the English (I think).
You asked why these countries are fucked up? It all stems from the west fucking with them.
