The economic issues in Africa have absolutely nothing to do with gender relationships.
Gulf Arabs and Iranians are far more misogynist than most Bantus.
Most Niger-Congo dudes are barely different from cadaans in how they view and treat their women, honestly.
Exactly
Thats an unbelievably low figure. What is it with those habesha career women in Addis ?

GCC countries are first world and Iran is second world.

It is a natural result of development. Quality of life goes up but technically so does the cost of living and raising a family and women become somewhat more career focused to support the fam and themselves = less and less children until you reach below replacement level numbers. There are other more controversial proposed causes like people becoming more isolated, depressed and "degenerate" in inhuman city environments.
The GCC Arabs just won the lottery with their oil reserves. They are not innovators in anything. Without the crude oil underneath their land they would be herding goats and camels just like other poor nomads in Africa.
The countries that Africans should study and emulate as models of economic development are the Asian Tigers.

Nigeria has a lot of oil, so does Angola. Still not as well managed as Gulf Arabs.
africa was made poor by corrupt mfs. look at somalia in 1960s. a bastion of glory
Not really. I was born and raised in the UAE and most of its development, particularly in the case of Dubai, was due to trade policy. Oil makes up like 1% of Dubai's revenue. They got that way through being a trade, finance and tourism hub. Gulf states mostly benefited from their cushy relationship with the United States and Britain more than anything. Oil was just the initial injection of wealth, particularly for Saudi which is still very dependent on it as an export. I always shake my head when some people online go "Back to the desert when the oil is gone!" when speaking of Qatar or the UAE. They really dunno what they're on about.
And, weirdly, btw the UAE is getting more and more "progressive" in terms of laws toward women:
UAE announces relaxing of Islamic laws for personal freedoms
The United Arab Emirates has announced a major liberalization of the country’s Islamic personal laws, allowing unmarried couples to cohabitate, loosening alcohol restrictions and criminalizing so-called “honor killings.”
And Qatar is even whispering about slowly transitioning to a more constitutional, republican type system. Plus, it is true that the standard of living in many gulf states is far beyond anything in the west. My cousins who visit me from the west are often flabbergasted at the luxury I live in and grew up in when by local standards my lifestyle is not more than upper middle-class.

Worst take on Africa's economic problems ever.
Basically, a lot of the gulf-states developed in part similarly to a place like Singapore. Through attracting foreign investment due to lax laws and, until recently, no taxes. Income tax is still not a thing. This is in large part what took Dubai to what it is now. They also benefited a lot from being close allies of the United States. Don't get me wrong, oil and gas money played a big part initially for many of these places and the gulf states have many problems I've ranted about myself but people really sell them short when they say "Just oil money".
And women have no blame in this mess? The black males don't live in a vacuum. They live in a society that also includes the women. You cannot therefore just blame one party.
@xabashi I now understand why you people are soo adamant on completing the construction of that Dam. Ethiopia has an electricity access of just 47% and Egypt is at almost 100% and they are telling you not to build your dam. The Egyptians are practically telling you people to remain poor and underdeveloped

Exactly and we are not in the mood to do so. We are determined to get out of poverty by hook or crook. Let alone to stop building the dam, we won't even pause the filling of the dam just for a single year. We don't have time for such a luxury. Of course we make sure Egypt gets its share of water but halting or not filling the dam is a no go!
Northern Europeans aka the whitest and prettiest people in the world are the best. They need to stop flexing on the rest of us, it's so unfair.
No excuse here but most of the development in Africa was based on colonialism which Ethiopia completely lacks (except the 5 year Italian occupation). Everything in Ethiopia, including the basics of the economy and infrastructure all were mostly done by our Emperors etc. who were themselves not educated. We had also the worst and moronic leaders of all times, Mengistu who destroyed every economic progress Haile Selassie made with his communist nonsense and destroyed the young and private business. We had to start everything from scratch when EPRDF took over and in the last 3 decades could compete with the likes of Kenya who had much longer western civilization and stability.
