How about Ghana or Kenya or even South Africa?-none of which are perfect, but they're overall pretty stable. One needs to remember most of the continent did not operate independently of their colonial powers until the 1950's-1960's. These are still fledgling governments, especially those like Liberia and Sierra Leone which recently had civil wars. It's unfair to expect them to be fully developed at this point in time. Think of how the US was in 1830. Not to mention that most of these countries didn't choose their own borders and have to attempt to form a cohesive citizenship from very diverse groups of people, which is difficult to do. Look at Rwanda... The Hutus and Tutsies should never have been lumped together, they've never gotten along, but in pre-colonial times they avoided each other for the most part, but some guy in Europe decided that was the perfect boundary for the country. Also, China is now one of the biggest investors in Africa, they're edging out the West. This varies from country to country, but generally speaking... I think we're going to see a huge shattering of Africa, the formation of Southern Sudan being the beginning of this. It's going to get worse before it gets better.
