#africanews #blackhistory Bad governance is often cited by the West as the reason why the African continent has refused to develop decades after Independence, despite its huge abundance of resources, and in truth, they are right, at least partially. Think about the fact that billions of dollars meant for the provision of basic social infrastructures are looted by so-called African leaders, sent to private off-shore accounts, and used whenever needed to build houses and hotels outside their respective countries as well as to fund elections. But there is something that is not really talked about that is also a major cause of the developmental status of the African continent and that is the existence of Western multinational corporations. These companies were established in Africa under the guise of helping the continent to develop but the shocking truth is they are an extension of Western colonialism. With their help, the West continues to plunder the resources of the continent and ripping hundreds of billions of dollars off the continent. The question is how come these Western companies can comfortably loot the continent and yet nobody is doing anything about it? Is Africa so weak that, it has allowed not only foreign governments but also foreign companies to exploit it?
