If Africa is so great then why do Africans keep trying to move everywhere else that isn't Africa? though the land itself is perfectly fine and futile, the people obviously cannot create functioning first world societies
You say you meant fertile, but it's closer to futile. Africa has natural resource wealth non paper, but it is extremely difficult geography to develop around. A lot of Africa is not airable, and the parts that are still have rough soil, and even then you still have to deal with rather cantankerous fauna, and inconsistent rains.
One of the reasons that Zimbabwe had to try and persuade white farmers back, and why the South Africans haven't tried to entirely remove white farmers, is because those white farmers are some of the only people on Earth who know how to make African land productive anyway, through significant effort.
Places like America and Western Europe are blessed with relatively good soil and meteorological conditions, along with native plants, that almost any fucking retard can grow. Like potatoes. You can accidentally grow potatoes in most of the US. This is not so easy everywhere else.
Western Europe had to deal with winters making the entire place infertile for a quarter of a year every year. Africans never had to deal with this this why are you trying to defend africans
Because you're shockingly ignorant.
You can't farm in the winter. That doesn't make the ground infertile, you absolute parsnip. If anything, it still deposits water into the soil, which is why spring exists.
The soil conditions in a lot of Africa are generally poor. In Sub-Saharan Africa, there are many forms of clay which are not filled with nutrients, and are the result of little water, and little vegetation. Even that can be stripped by the enormous fauna that eats all the damn vegetation. And again, there are inconsistent rains and rivers that don't regularly flow and deposit water to other areas.
Then there are places which get too much water, like tropical jungles. Most of the foods you eat can't tolerate being water-logged.
South Africa has some of the richest farmland in Africa, and look what happened after the natives got their pound of flesh from their "colonizers."
A damned shame, Quartermain.
