It is, and has been. Ever since the end of colonialism, some countrys have supported causes and countrys in africa to get some african tiger states going the way of south korea, japan, china, south america, russia, east europe, turkey - indonesia, malaysia etc. But here we are, and today even the anti-colonial ideologys exclaiming "help to help themselve" sound exausted. Europe has the most interest to stabilize africa, but good ideas on the how to are rare. I know, colonialism- the excuse for everything- but other countrys where colonized several times over and are back on theire feet or ruling the world by now. And africa is diverse enought to show that colonialism is not just it. My personal believe is that africa pays the price for bad circumstances (in part due to beeing the craddle of humanity/ bad distribution of croppable plants/ diseases) and living the facists and racists dream: "Constant warfare of one ethnicity against another. Mighty, messianically worshipped leaders, with no bigger aim then keeping the lion pack that brought them to power with corruption from tearing them apart." My assumption is that if you have this mix, a spiral sets in which optimization is geared towards "surviving and propsering within the cycle of constant strife". The effect is partially visible in other country not on the african continent. To break the cycle, one would have to understand the human adaptions to crisis and strife - and combat the reactions. Create small oasis of prosperty- who can defend against african anti-capitalistic traditions, like leeching of the wealth of wealthy relatives (like public officials- who need constantly bigger bribes to pay this family mafia) and begin the same journey like south korea and south america did. I guess saying that makes me a racist. And for racists im worser, calling theire gut feelings to "walk in cirles" dangerous. I just think it would be great if africans where the first to build a beanstalk for humanity.
