The Economic Activity of the Middle Africa Countries after Independence

Abstract

         The research shed light on the economic activity of the Central African countries after their liberation from the control of Western colonialism, given the agriculture, forests, minerals, swamps, lakes and highlands that these countries enjoy. Their wealth was a reason for continuous foreign intervention in their affairs. As for the state of extreme poverty that their people were experiencing, It is due to the state of internal political instability that these countries experienced, and the corruption that prevailed in the administration that has ruled since independence, in addition to Western control over their wealth, and in addition to that, the lack of studied and programmed economic plans, as well as the lack of technical expertise and urban renaissance. As a result, these countries continued to suffer. Since its independence from the state of instability and comprehensive chaos that pervaded most of its lands, foreign interference in its affairs had a clear role in its escalation, spread, and continuation, which created a state of violence and counter-violence among national forces. However, the countries of Central Africa have striven to attract development capital from Other countries such as China and Japan since their independence, as well as the trend of some of these countries towards socialism in order to support their nascent economy.
