Hidden Strategies Used By The West To Keep Africa Poor As They Develop Using Africa’s Resources |LNN

Why is Africa, a continent so rich in resources, culture, and potential ,still shackled by poverty and underdevelopment decades after colonialism supposedly ended?
The answer is uncomfortable and largely hidden from mainstream discourse.

Dr. Fadhel Kaboub, Associate Professor of Economics at Denison University and Senior Advisor at Power Shift Africa, reveals how colonialism never truly ended, it just changed form. Today, Africa’s wealth continues to flow outward through carefully maintained global systems: exploitative trade deals, debt traps disguised as loans, resource extraction under foreign multinationals, and economic “assistance” that comes with strings designed to tighten the grip of Western control.

These aren’t accidents of history, they are deliberate strategies, refined over time, to keep Africa dependent, divided, and economically crippled. The West benefits immensely from this arrangement, ensuring its prosperity is built, quite literally, on Africa’s stolen future.
If Africa is rich, why are Africans poor?
The answer lies in asking: Rich for whom?
