Well, that's quite a bit exaggerated, but there's a root question that's critically important: Why is that?
Not that long ago, every nation in Africa was claimed by a European power as its colony. Europeans forced Africans off their farms and into production of raw materials for European and American industry. Then when market prices fell, Europeans got the light and went home, leaving a vacuum of power, money, education, and expertise that opened the door for corruption across the continent. Africa was raped, and corruption, like a wolf, almost always follows powerlessness.

We in the West have built our nations partly on wealth stolen from Africa. Their hunger, the corrupt regimes that rule, are partly there because of Western rapacity. God only knows if we'll ever have the grace to restore as much as our forefathers took from them.

The basic philosophy of the corporate interests which dictate the policies and methods of the world bank and the WTO is to keep the people poor, stupid, and powerless. If the poor have potential, introduce the gun. The holder of the gun is irrelevant. The poor are told they are exactly where they deserve to be. The 'ignorance' of the U.S. citizens that is often implied to be a natural characteristic, is a result of the same basic policy as that which is keeping many 3rd world countries third world.
These 'vested' interests, are setting the American People up to take a fall. The plan being to vanish during the collapse, and allow history to condemn the messengers.

The greatest element we have in our defense - which may help us distinguish between the truth, and the bald faced lies that are being peddled as a substitute these days is knowledge, Where we can learn without needing to be taught, Where we can communicate with a minimum of censorship. (Yes there is as with everything else there is internet censorship, Censorship is easy when people don't know what they're missing.) Information may exist which becomes increasingly harder to find.
An advantage of the internet is that there is generally more than one copy of anything.
If the individual nations of the African continent are rendered economically powerless, intimidated, nailed with accusations of incompetence, subject to the law of the gun, a central African government is only a matter of time.
Power concentrated in one place, held by 'leaders' that are socially conditioned, opens the door to corporate suggestions which are far more profitable, for themselves only.
