Africa is developing fast
but there are less than just a handful of countries that are making a global
impact whose economy is actually growing. Some African countries are still regarded
among the poorest countries in the world today. A
large number of citizens in most countries in the largest populous black
continent still live in abject poverty with only a few people being able to
afford to live above the poverty line. Political insecurity and war has made
some of these nations difficult to live in.
The classification below is based on
International Monetary Fund’s gross domestic product per capita (GDP per
capita) which is a measure of purchasing power in the international market.
