There are many parts of Africa that don't look like rain forests or dirt roads - for instance, the Sahara and Namib deserts, or the grasslands (savannas) of eastern Africa. There are also many cities in Africa, some of which are quite large. \nCairo, Egypt is the largest city in Africa (and the Middle East) with more than 11 million residents in the metro region - only a little bit smaller than the greater Los Angeles region.\nLagos, Nigeria also has 11 million residents, still larger than Moscow or Beijing.\nKinshasa, Dem. Republic of Congo has 5.7 million people, which is more than Miami or Philadelphia.\nCasablanca, Morocco has 3.7 million people, larger than Melbourne, but smaller than Detroit.\nAbidjan, Ivory Coast has 3.5 million people (larger than San Francisco-Oakland)\nJohannesburg, South Africa has 3.2 million people (smaller than SF/Oakland, but larger than more than Athens, Greece)\nAlgiers, Algeria is not far behind, and neither is Cape Town, South Africa (3.1 million) -- still larger than San Diego in population.\nThere are lots of cities in Africa and some of them might resemble Californian cities with freeways, skyscrapers, suburbs, etc.\n\nCities exist in Africa for the same reason cities exist in California - there is enough of an abundance in food and water production that allows people to all live in one place and have jobs where they can earn money to get the basics of life. There are all sorts of opportunities for work, study, lifestyle, culture, and recreation in a city simply because there are so many people. The city is a marketplace for goods, services, labor, culture and ideas.

A long series of coups resulted in the suspension of the constitution in 1981 and a ban on political parties. A new constitution, restoring multiparty politics, was approved in 1992. Lt. Jerry RAWLINGS, head of state since 1981, won presidential elections in 1992 and 1996, but was constitutionally prevented from running for a third term in 2000. John KUFUOR, who defeated former Vice President Atta MILLS in a free and fair election, succeeded him.  \n   Geography    Ghana Top of Page  \nLocation:   \nWestern Africa, bordering the Gulf of Guinea, between Cote d'Ivoire and Togo  \nGeographic coordinates:   \n8 00 N, 2 00 W  \nMap references:   \nAfrica  \nArea:    \ntotal: 239,460 sq km \nland: 230,940 sq km \nwater: 8,520 sq km  \nArea - comparative:   \nslightly smaller than Oregon  \nLand boundaries:   \ntotal: 2,094 km \nborder countries: Burkina Faso 549 km, Cote d'Ivoire 668 km, Togo 877 km  \nCoastline:   \n539 km  \nMaritime claims:   \nterritorial sea: 12 nm \ncontiguous zone: 24 nm \nexclusive economic zone: 200 nm \ncontinental shelf: 200 nm  \nClimate:   \ntropical; warm and comparatively dry along southeast coast; hot and humid in southwest; hot and dry in north  \nTerrain:   \nmostly low plains with dissected plateau in south-central area  \nElevation extremes:   \nlowest point: Atlantic Ocean 0 m \nhighest point: Mount Afadjato 880 m  \nNatural resources:   \ngold, timber, industrial diamonds, bauxite, manganese, fish, rubber, hydropower, petroleum, silver, salt, limestone  \nLand use:   \narable land: 17.54% \npermanent crops: 9.22% \nother: 73.24% (2005)  \nIrrigated land:   \n310 sq km (2003)  \nNatural hazards:   \ndry, dusty, northeastern harmattan winds occur from January to March; droughts  \nEnvironment - current issues:   \nrecurrent drought in north severely affects agricultural activities; deforestation; overgrazing; soil erosion; poaching and habitat destruction threatens wildlife populations; water pollution; inadequate supplies of potable water  \nEnvironment - international agreements:   \nparty to: Biodiversity, Climate Change, Climate Change-Kyoto Protocol, Desertification, Endangered Species, Environmental Modification, Hazardous Wastes, Law of the Sea, Ozone Layer Protection, Ship Pollution, Tropical Timber 83, Tropical Timber 94, Wetlands \nsigned, but not ratified: Marine Life Conservation  \nGeography - note:   \nLake Volta is the world's largest artificial lake  \n   People    Ghana Top of Page  \nPopulation:    \n22,409,572 \nnote: estimates for this country explicitly take into account the effects of excess mortality due to AIDS; this can result in lower life expectancy, higher infant mortality and death rates, lower population and growth rates, and changes in the distribution of population by age and sex than would otherwise be expected (July 2006 est.)  \nAge structure:   \n0-14 years: 38.8% (male 4,395,744/female 4,288,720) \n15-64 years: 57.7% (male 6,450,828/female 6,483,781) \n65 years and over: 3.5% (male 371,428/female 419,071) (2006 est.)  \nMedian age:   \ntotal: 19.9 years \nmale: 19.7 y

According to the CIA World Factbook, many African countries have not modern national telecommunications network.  Somalia is a specific example. Even those that do have relatively reliable service are at an overall rate of technological advancement and reliability comparable to America in the 1930s.

The economic reforms sweeping through Asia for the two decades will ultimately reach Africa in the next two to five decades.  And hence by the end of this century, I expect some part of the Africa to become a first world country.\n\nIn marathon's African's have proven that they are best.  Now in the 2006 football world cup, they came in as under dogs and caught the imagination of the world.  By the end of next decade I expect some of the African nations to be best in the football.  This will change the face of Africa and that will be the starting point.\n\nGood luck.

Well in ref. to AFrica, smaller states such as kenya and Malawi, so ofrth all did a bit of both, they were exploited for their natural resources and then once released, they flourished.

Read a book called Guns, Germs, and Steel or get it on video if you're lazy.  Basically the author of this book explains how geographic and climactic factors favored agriculture in Europe as their society evolved, this gave them a head start towards modern society.  Africa's climate continues to be less favorable for agriculture and industry.  And in many places their social structure remains focused on survival rather than "progress".  Thats not the whole story, but its a big piece of the puzzle.
