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

This isn't fair 😤

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’s what colonialism was about. And that [b]wasn’t[/b] fair. 😒

@bijouxbroussard Well, China doesn't belong to west.
@iamharry They’re not on the African continent, [b]either[/b]. And they’ve been stealing, too, by way of having poachers sell them illegal Ivory.

@iamharry I cannot access links from my phone. Why would you think it “unfair” that the rest of the world can’t [b]steal[/b] from the African continent, like it has for time immemorial ?

@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.
