So I go back to my original point, and to keep you happy about generalisations, that except for pockets where there will be good internet access, the vast majority of Africa will be behind the first world indefinitely. Governments just have too many other concerns to make it a priority is a big issue. But then building the infrastructure is another big issue.

Not to mention systemic corruption. Aid dollars do not reach those in need.
Development funds are diverted and hoarded, and supplies are often commandeered
and resold. Until the unerlying causes of inequity are solved, Africa will
have lots of problems.
