Africa is not poor. But only made to be poor through various historical processes known generally as Colonialism, a process which greatly benefits Europe and the US (and has also made many other places artificially poor). No, Africans are not poor, but are locked into a cycle of poverty by the global economic order which demands cheap materials and depends on the fruits of exploitation for sustenance.
South Korea and Malaysia were also colonized.
Ethiopia and Liberia had never been colonized. Remember, Colonial rule ended 50 years ago in Tanzania and the rest of most of African states.
Colonialism is not attributed to Africa's current miseries.
