Diversity Means Difference: The Case of Africa

>Today, the question is why? Why, after 60 years of independence, is Sub-Saharan Africa still having such a devilishly hard time governing itself? >The main answer, as we've examined before, is that Africa lacks enough of the two qualities that make desirable societies: future orientation and commonweal orientation. I can kind of get those arguments, but I'm shocked this article doesn't touch on even recent foreign intervention causing massive instability in the region. Qaddafi was said to be creating a gold-backed currency for all of Africa, which would have been immensely helpful to the nation on a global scale...but then the US was involved in taking him down and Libya rapidly turned into a slave-trading ISIS shithole. It seems like calling out American, European and Chinese influences on the continent as a whole would be rather...you know...relevant to the whole discussion.
