Africa Betrayed: The Challenges of Development in Sub-Saharan Africa

Africa remains paradoxical: despite vast land and rich resources, it is still one of the poorest regions in the world. Africa Betrayed, a new book by Prof. Tunde Adeniran, tackles this dilemma head-on. Adeniran delivers an authoritative narrative of why sub-Saharan Africa still struggles with underdevelopment. His analysis is “thought-provoking,” as one reviewer notes, since it is “unsparing but balanced,” giving “a knock to all forces that… retard the progress of Africa”. In short, the book examines how historical exploitation and internal failures have left Africa a “beggar continent”, and it calls for moving toward a future of progress built on knowledge and devotion.
