Why are countries in Africa so poorly governed?
<|assistant|>
Countries in Africa are poorly governed for a variety of reasons, including corruption, lack of economic development, and entrenched political inequality. In many countries, strongmen have remained in power for decades with weak election processes that give them few incentives to govern democratically. Economic instability and inequality also contribute to a lack of good governance as citizens lack access to essential services and resources that are promised by governments. Additionally, many African governments are facing armed conflicts that limit their ability to create stable rule of law within their borders.
