Uh...snowflake...most of Africa has never operated under capitalism. Tanzania, Ethiopia, and many other African nations collapsed under socialism.Africa, and India with a lot of Capitalist governments have a lot of people dying of hunger.
When you make shit up...you kill your own credibility and your cause.In general, socialism in Africa did not outlive the collapse of the U.S.S.R. in 1989. The loss of a financial supporter and ally in the form of the U.S.S.R. was certainly a part of this, but so too was the need many African states had for loans from the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank. By the 1980s, these institutions required states to release state monopolies over production and distribution and privatize industry before they would agree to loans.

Safety net programs must be more efficient and effective to close the coverage gap: WB report
WASHINGTON, July 7, 2015 – A growing number of developing countries are investing in social safety nets to improve the lives and livelihoods of billions of poor and vulnerable people, yet around 55 percent of the world’s poor or 773 million people with acute needs still lack safety net coverage —especially in lower-income countries and in urban areas—and countries must take action to close this coverage gap, says a new World Bank Group report.
According to The State of Social Safety Nets 2015, more than 1.9 billion people in 136 low- and middle-income countries are now on beneficiary rolls of social safety net programs. In Africa alone, the number of countries setting up social safety net programs has doubled over the past three years, as evidenced by rigorous evaluations that prove these programs work. But three quarters of the poorest people in low- and lower-middle income countries, and more than one-third of the poorest people in middle-income countries, lack safety net coverage and remain at risk.
