Some people talk of Africa being a continent cursed not bles

Summary

This quote suggests that while some may blame Africa's perceived lack of progress and development on the scarcity of mineral resources, the true hindrance lies in its leaders and politicians. It implies that incompetent or corrupt governance is the primary factor holding back the continent's potential for growth and success. In other words, the quote emphasizes that the real curse affecting Africa is not its mineral wealth or lack thereof, but rather the leadership that fails to effectively utilize and distribute the resources and opportunities available to the people.
