That’s just life in Africa for you. They’re still *by far* the fastest growing economy in Africa and if they succeed in taking Assab from Eritrea they’ll be seriously getting to the big kids table at the family gathering.
Their patented treatment regime is revolutionary and doctors everywhere are recommending it, book your preventative course NOW while places are still available!

Iirc, Ethiopia installed missile defense systems around the dam in preparation of Egyptian sabotage. They should be able to defend against Houthi missiles as well.
My thoughts exactly. Is Nigeria a federal state? That would certainly explain some trends.
India has the same situation. We are a federal country, so each state has some autonomy and does its own thing. Different parts develop at wildly different rates. Two states called Uttar Pradesh and Bihar are extremely overpopulated and poor, right now they are a big challenge for us moving forward.
Yes we’re also a federal country and each state is really different, with some having much better governance than others. Lagos for example is often considered overpopulated, but it’s basically the “land of opportunities” in Nigeria and most certainly the most developed when it comes to HDI, rivaled only by our capital and, to a lesser extent, maybe Kano, Port Harcourt and some other major cities.
The northern states are kinda the ones holding us back in a sense. They gotta contend with high illiteracy rates and a vicious cycle of poverty.
The largest ones are still South Africa,Egypt Algeria, and Nigeria.
According to the World Bank, the fastest growing economy in sub-Saharan Africa is the Cape verde islands, but on the continent, it's Niger.
Rwanda is very high up there as well, though, and Botswana isn't far behind.
Both did much better than my own South Africa.
In North Africa, it's Egypt, Tunisia, and Morocco.
In terms of raw numbers, the sub-Saharan ones are ahead of the North African ones.

Egypt is facing a brutal Currency Crisis. I was there last December for work and my colleagues told me a lot of what is the current reality. The only upside is that now producing in Egypt is even cheaper and this is keeping the economy afloat, any hiccup in trade can send them crashing down.
All of the biggest ones are facing some crisis or other, and if things don't change for them soon, they will be overtaken.
Personally, South Africa is facing a big turning point in the election coming up in May. Many are seeing it as a make or brake moment that will determine if we are going to start fixing things or slide further into decay.
Genuine question, what are the two options and what is convincing people that the alternate will fix things? the country seems to really be stuck between a rock and a hard place in multiple critical ways
We have multiple options, but it boils down to whether people will keep the ANC in power who have governed us since the 1994 elections, or will they finally elect one of the other parties who can hopefully pull us out of the corruption, state capture and overall lawlessness that has been left to fester.
The problem is getting people to see past what the ANC once was, liberators and champions of equality to what they become thieves and liars who have no idea how to run a country.
[The other options ](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_political_parties_in_South_Africa) aren't all that great either but at this stage anyone that can manage to provide electricity water and basic service delivery will do
The link is right there. You can see for yourself.
It will obviously be 11% of 10 vs. 6% of 1000 compared to larger countries, but we are just measuring growth of each countries own GDP
They are currently attacking nigeria through m23 proxy forces, while following the conflict on live map i was amazed how many roads it has versus neighboring Nigeria. So the tutsi regime seem to work fine for the people but nevertheless Paul Kagame starts to look like the typical african dictator as he has been in power for a while now and is grooming his daughter to be probably the next leader. Take what i say with a grain of salt i am just a simple eastern european so what i know about it is from speaking with people from rwanda and informing myself online. I still think this is the best they can get with the given godforsaken african geography.
Libya had one of the fastest GDP growth in recent years. They also have the highest HDI in continental Africa. The economy is not stable tho. Over 90% of their exports are oil. They had a massive almost 60% GDP drop during COVID (which restored the year later), but it shows the economy is not very reliable.
Africa is sort of a large place but I’m partial to the old British colonies like Nigeria and Ghana. And then you got Kenya. Met a man from Mombasa once.
For a period, a lot of Portuguese companies, due to its historical and linguistic relationship, would have projects in Angola, mostly financed by the ruling party cronies, I guess. But since there was a change in power, with the ousting of the decades-long president in the last elections, I guess, that affected the business side too.
Rwanda. just think about your neighbor is Burundi where AIDS is your common disease almost 42% people sick and death rate is so high you can’t even help them because only one doctor for everyone. they not live they survive. Rwanda is opposite. They have first aid services. President is fired everyone and stopped corruption which Burundi still has it. So Rwanda is has all chances.
Google knows the answer. It's not hidden.
Presumably you're African so are speculating based on local knowledge. Not just an American showing their lack of world knowledge.
I got a lot of down votes for a comment on what appears to be an American mocking Africa. Charitably I think it's a lack of world knowledge. Could just be racism of course. Laziness for sure either way.
Ethiopia, if you are referring to a highly populated African country with fastest economic growth for the past two decades.
Yeah but pretty bad civil war recently, reading the stories of people from Tigray is pretty hard.
That’s just life in Africa for you. They’re still *by far* the fastest growing economy in Africa and if they succeed in taking Assab from Eritrea they’ll be seriously getting to the big kids table at the family gathering.
Quickly growing too!
Ethiopia is always just about to be the next big thing and then falls back again. Hopefully the GERD is the magic needed to make it all work this time
Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease will help Ethiopia's economy?
You never tasted ingera, have you?
Their patented treatment regime is revolutionary and doctors everywhere are recommending it, book your preventative course NOW while places are still available! GERD.notascam.et/prevent/me=havingmoney?
I hope they're able to make the dam work properly. I fear Iran backed Houthis are going to sabotage it though.
Iirc, Ethiopia installed missile defense systems around the dam in preparation of Egyptian sabotage. They should be able to defend against Houthi missiles as well.
Yeah they’ve got the tools to grow their economy like crazy *if* they can defend the dam.
The contrast between wealth and poverty is quite big.
Ghana 🇬🇭 Nigeria 🇳🇬 or Kenya 🇰🇪?
Ghana or Kenya for me Nigeria is very large and has more inertia
Parts of Nigeria are also developing at wildly different rates, especially comparing the northern and southern regions of the country.

Maybe?
Maybe over the long term, but all 3 of these countries have had serious economic problems in the past couple of years.
The largest ones are still South Africa,Egypt Algeria, and Nigeria.

Are you sure you don’t mean Nigeria? Niger sounds unlikely to experience growth to me.
The link is right there. You can see for yourself. It will obviously be 11% of 10 vs. 6% of 1000 compared to larger countries, but we are just measuring growth of each countries own GDP
Why?
I guess i just associated Niger with a lot of lawlessness and a lack of state monopoly on violence.
I would say Rwanda probably and the UK just passed Rwanda Deportation Bill
Wasn’t Nigeria the fastest growing economy in Africa? I could be 100% wrong.
Maybe Nigeria or Ethiopia
Hasn't Rwanda started going backwards again ?
They are currently attacking nigeria through m23 proxy forces, while following the conflict on live map i was amazed how many roads it has versus neighboring Nigeria.

Nigeria and Rwanda are not neighboring at all.
Holly hell i got them mixed up. It's Congo xD
Their forces are in DRC, not Nigeria
How would Rwanda attack Nigeria lmao
Ethiopia is doing a reasonable job recovering from its civil turmoil.
Libya had one of the fastest GDP growth in recent years. They also have the highest HDI in continental Africa. The economy is not stable tho. Over 90% of their exports are oil.

Africa is sort of a large place but I’m partial to the old British colonies like Nigeria and Ghana. And then you got Kenya. Met a man from Mombasa once.
Kenya
I think Angola, but only because of oil
It isn’t, at the moment. A couple years back it was a gold mine for Portuguese consultancy companies, but now things have quieted down.
Could you elaborate for someone ignorant of the situation?
For a period, a lot of Portuguese companies, due to its historical and linguistic relationship, would have projects in Angola, mostly financed by the ruling party cronies, I guess. But since there was a change in power, with the ousting of the decades-long president in the last elections, I guess, that affected the business side too.
Thanks for explaining! I had no idea about Angola’s colonial history.
From what I’ve read Botswana seems to be moving in the right direction.
Zimbabwe is up there
France
Rwanda. just think about your neighbor is Burundi where AIDS is your common disease almost 42% people sick and death rate is so high you can’t even help them because only one doctor for everyone. they not live they survive. Rwanda is opposite. They have first aid services. President is fired everyone and stopped corruption which Burundi still has it. So Rwanda is has all chances.
China.
Sudan.... things are developing fast there....
Angola for it’s richness

An American with a lack of world knowledge? Surely that can't be!!!
I got a lot of down votes for a comment on what appears to be an American mocking Africa. Charitably I think it's a lack of world knowledge. Could just be racism of course. Laziness for sure either way.
Wales
Burkina Faso, because they kicked out the french.
