Why are African Countries so poor if they are rich in natural resources?

There are various factors that contribute to the economic challenges faced by many African countries, including corruption, lack of infrastructure, political instability, ineffective governance, and unfair trade agreements. These issues often hinder the efficient extraction and utilization of Natural Resources for economic development, leading to limited benefits for the local population. Additionally, global market price fluctuations and environmental degradation can also impact the economic potential of natural resources in these countries.
