Why only few developed nations have control over Africa's natural resources ?

This isn't fair 馃槫

It is evil what other nations have done to gain access to the natural resources of other countries, famines, wars, etc.

many moved their governments out of africa and china in the 90s. when they do that they can't touch anything with anything.

and africa, any country within it can say "no, you're not, tell that to the UN".

it's tough enough that countries there are so war torn due to domestic situations with this ideal.

Define fair. Without foreign investment the natural resources would remain untapped and the people in poverty.

@hippyjoe1955 Here, I mean that why other countries can't exploit Africa's natural resources?
What do you mean, exactly ? Developed nations on the continent itself, or the West ? The West has been stealing resources from the African continent for centuries. That鈥檚 what colonialism was about. And that [b]wasn鈥檛[/b] fair. 馃槖

@bijouxbroussard Africa is not getting right price in exchange of it's natural resources. If there is competition in expolitation of natural resources then i guess, it can get the right price.
@iamharry Then you think more countries should be engaging in trade with African nations ? That sounds more reasonable.

Yes Ma鈥檃m.
Do you think because you are born on the dirt miles above the diamond you own the diamond? Or is the diamond owned by the person who can get it?
