People have been living in Africa for thousands of years. Long before there was any UK or N. American societies, at least as far as we know them today.
They've had time. Time to form nations, form governments, develop and modernize. I'm not sure how anyone can disagree with that.
Admittedly it took Great Britain 500 years or so to actually develop a working democtratic model of government (thank you Oliver Cromwell et al), but you'll notice that basically the first thing other than survival on the minds of those that hit the shores of Australia and the N. American East coast was to create social order and begin developing the region into something liveable. The question is, why hasen't any of the African peoples accomplished anything close to that and made it last into the modern world? Why?
Sorry, they certainly HAVE had thousands of years.
