Africa is ruled by multinational corporations

Out of nowhere and without consultation with the people of the African continent, the Europeans met and divided the continent among themselves in what has been termed the scramble for Africa. Through this scramble, France, Britain, Germany, Portugal, Spain, Italy and Belgium all went on a looting spree, raping Africa of her resources without putting any of the proceeds back for the development of the continent.

When Africa was given her “freedom”, the fathers of independence inherited nothing more than empty treasuries. They realised that after 300 years of colonial rule their colonial masters had left them nothing. No money and no infrastructure. This horrendous situation and their eagerness to improve lives of their people led them to turn to the IMF and the World Bank where to their horror, found their former colonial masters were there waiting for them. The colonisers used their majority votes to dictate to the World Bank and IMF about how these former colonies should be helped.
