Answer 1

The two main issues concerning Africa are corruption and disease, like AIDS. You cannot have a well functioning society when a quarter of the population has a life ending disease.  You cannot have a well-functioning society where there rampant governmental corruption and ill-defined property rights.

Then some of the minor issues are the IMF and their Structural Adjustment Programs (SAP's), which are doing more harm than good.
