You could turn a poor African country into a rich African country in a short time, if it had the world's only space elevator and got to tax it.

Unfortunately,it probably wouldn't make it a rich african country.

Just a country run by a newly rich african dictator. Who still cries for aid from the US.

Such a resource rich continent, ruined by thugs who only want their own power and riches.
