1.) Most countries in those two regions are not slaughtering each other. Some never have since independence (Botswana for example). Violence is in part an issue of economic development and a result of the weak institutions. Thus economic development overtime can help alleviate the potential for conflict. there are other issues of course such as geographical and resource curse related items, but that just makes it harder to escape conflict traps.

2.) They already are.

3.) I hope not.

4.) Mauritius, which already has a poverty rate below 10%
