just curious, but what big natural resources does the continent have outside of South Africa and wild animal tourism? If it has some, there exists the basic buildingblocks for an economy that can help the people eventually thrive. Alomost every big advanced society first started progressing based on natural resources. There are some exceptions, e.g. Isreal, but those places are, inddeed exceptional. Without them, you will get the situations described above, whereby you get cycles of famine and dependency on foriegn aid. I just don't know.
