Aren't they leasing that infrastructure? That goes back to the 80's, some countries in Africa received foreign aid and turned themselves around, like Ethiopia, others stayed corrupt and privatized their infrastructure to continue getting foreign aid, because around that time we started saying hey, we need you to stop blatantly rigging elections, then pocketing the aid for you and your cabinet while your country keeps starving.
Foreign visitors and the rich in those countries will enjoy those benefits, the rest of the country will continue to exist solely to prop them up, and milk aid money from other countries.

What the hell is this clownery about Africa? It's still a fucking hellscape. Just because it's moderately better now, compared to 50 years ago, don't mean it's a prosperous place to live in.

It isn't.
The bad in Africa is still outweighing the good.
What little is "modernised" is by foreigners, and mostly for foreigners. The various native Africans are still in pretty tough situations.none of the above... its mainly bcause its being aided with chinese investment and so it doesn't fit American self promotion to tell its people about it
Hopefully it’s B. Africa could do with nato and China leaving them alone for awhile. Lot’s of wealth there. Get some superpower African countries and we’re rocking and rolling.
All the modernization came to a grinding halt when the white settlers left, now it’s grass huts and starvation amongst herds of cows as usual.
They aren't and you are free to post those pictures on twitter and facebook
