Why is the most resource-rich continent on Earth the poorest? We are told it’s because of corruption, lack of infrastructure, or the need for more foreign aid. But the math doesn’t add up.

In this video, we investigate the hidden economic mechanisms that drain over $80 billion from Africa every year. We look beyond the headlines to expose the structural traps—from Illicit Financial Flows and Transfer Pricing to the CFA Franc and Tariff Escalation—that keep African nations locked in a cycle of poverty.

This isn’t a story about charity; it’s a story about a rigged global banking system. Discover the truth about the Resource Curse, the "Vulture Funds" targeting sovereign debt, and how the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) might finally break the cycle.
