Or their unique Retard Achievement of "run out of water, despite having lakes and reservoirs specifically designed to keep the water flowing even through long droughts".

Check out Empire of Dust on hooktube. 90min documentary on Chinese infrastructure builders and the challenges they face working in Africa. At one point, the Chinese foreman berates his interpretor.
To paraphrase... "You had everything built for you, highways, railways, bridges and after the Dutch left you couldn't even keep it going... All gone to waste, all a national shame."

Go to any charity dedicated to "Turning Africa Green", particularly those that flaunt the massive increase in crop yield during their time spent working on the land (and paying for all the maintenance), and ask them one simple question:
"Hey, what is the crop output of the land today?"
The cucked charities will just try to ignore you, give you non-answers, or kick you out before you scare off the potential investors and volunteers. The honest ones will tell you that, almost as soon as the charity leaves, the crop output drops dramatically, usually falling to the levels of the pre-charity years (if not lower, due to the excess nutrient usage by the high-output years), although they'll still likely try to spin it as a "problem of the past" or "something that won't be an issue next time".
It is better for your money to donate to charities for helping stray or abused pets find good homes than to donate to African "charities", since at least the animals are likely to learn better behavior quickly through Pavlovian conditioning.
