I believe it.
For my entire life and more, we've been sending assistance to Africa.
Yea, we got rid of Leprosy but not much else changed in half a century.

There is speech on the Internet by an African diplomat that BEGS the West to quit giving money, etc. to Africa. He laid out all the problems it was causing (one tribe gets all the money and uses it to kill off another tribe, for instance). He really made sense, but was booed off stage. I even think he was assassinated later.

I recall back in the 50s & 60s our teachers would describe Africa as a "sleeping giant" and would awaken someday to lead the world.
Even back then as kids we just shook our heads and laughed.
