Starving African Kid |
I guess, all this time what you think about Africa is this picture. Surely you think about hunger, sickness and crime. That is true in most of Africa, but there are many African countries there that have better social conditions with a stable economy. Here are my opinion (except Kenya, Mauritius and South Africa because everyone already knows that) .
- Rwanda

The Capital City, Kigali |
Rwanda is a small African country that's neighbor's Burundi, DRC,and Uganda. Despite all of its neighbor are categorized as a poor country, Rwanda becomes the "Singapore of Africa" with a great economic change and the most clean country in all of Africa.
Despite having a dark past in 1994 a.k.a The Rwandan Genocide, Rwanda is rebuilding itself to look beyond the past and forward to the future. With the command of President Paul Kagame, the country's current president plastic bags in Rwanda are banned and Rwanda also becomes the cleanest country in Africa.
2. Namibia

Windhoek city
I believe that many of you guys didn't know anything about Namibia, so Namibia is a former German Colony, but it is taken by the British since World War 1. So, why I pick this country, because this country is different. The building are very organised and the street was very clean. So different with many African city. If you go to the Southwest of Namibia called Swakopmund, the city with with 40,000 residents, you just feel that you are in Germany like the buildings are very European.
3. Nigeria

Abuja, Nigeria
I believe that many of you guys know about this country already. This former British colony is the richest the most populated in Africa. This country has Lagos, the biggest city in Africa. But the more citized, that means a faster growing economy than its neighbour. This country is very rich in oil and underground resources.
4. Ethiopia

So, maybe you guys think that Ethiopia is underdeveloped and full of crime. Maybe the reality is now yes, but Ethiopia is improving. The long civil wars in Ethiopia has ended and everything could run smoothly like any other country. Now, the Ethiopian government focus on their people. They began to building infrastructure such as the LRT across Addis Ababa. And also the unemployment rate is dropping there.
5. Tanzania (Zanzibar)

Dar es salaam, the biggest city in Tanzania
Maybe 50% of you guys don't know about this country. This country is one of the most developed country in Africa. The town of Dar es salaam is looked futuristic with massive skyscraper and a bus rapid transit which is great, cause many African countries right now have a massive corruption and civil war, so this development is so great for this future African country.
Okay guys, that's all i could tell you, if I made a mistake, i'm so sorry for that because I'm a rookie at blogging. Btw this artikel is no more than my own thoughts, so if you have a better opinion, comment down below. And thank you so much :)!
