Hate how the whole of Europe gets blamed for what few countries did. Those are Germany, Belgium, UK/England (whichever represented the British part and all), France, Portugal and the Netherlands. Don't believe Spain ever conolised anything in Africa, feel free to prove me wrong on that one.
Personally Belgium, or at least that one person - Philips II -, made the biggest mess. One word: Congo.

Spain Colonized Spanish Morroco, Rio De Oro (W. Sahara) and Spanish Guinea
Italy, Germany, the UK, Belguim, Netherlands, France, Spain, and Portugal all took pieces of Africa. When the colonies gained independence and tries installing a democracy, that system of government was (and is) incompatible with their cultures. Democracy will thrive in a land that's been peacefully benefiting from it for centuries, not in a 40-50 year old nation that was once tribal land and still has many, MANY ethnic groups with their own special agandas. |

Side note: Oh yeah, Italy. :s And you're right. There was a part about this in a documentary I watched recently regarding poverty and how Africa once used to be the richest continents.
(starts at 37:17, I believe)

"Nigeria is now more developed than South Africa" They have a bigger economy in terms of total GDP and a bigger population, that's all.

On average they do. Have you not noticed the rest of them? |

"Africans have low IQs" Really? I am from Africa and I know LUA and Javascript. And plus I always pretty much get good grades.
You're racist, an entire country cannot have the same character. |

@Riducule Thanks to the recent events, it's not as good as it used to be.
Egypt used to be a great country.... but now we don't even have constant electricity(Thanks Morsi, for giving out gas that we need to Palestine.)
Libya was very identical to Egypt, but now..... God knows.
But both of the countries seem to be getting better.
Morroco and western Sahara are fine though. |

''western sahara''
you mean algeria, right? and it's true, glad's conspiricies probably have had more sense this time. Why's it so hard to establish a democracy, maybe their IQs are low. |

Some countries are just not meant to be a democracy, and are better off without it.

Actually the reason they have lower IQs is not genetic. It just so happens that poverty correlates with lower IQs. Malnutrition and a lack of education can corrode your IQ points. In fact malaria does too. |

| How comes Africa is a continent ridden with rebellions and gunfights, obviously they aren't mentally capable of enforcing a democracy which disregards shooting. |
