Describe two of Africa's most abundant mineral resources. What might prohibit Africans from benefiting economically from these natural resource?

Answer:

Gold and diamonds are two of Africa’s most abundant mineral resources. Africans may be prevented from benefiting economically by foreign control of mining, corruption, armed conflict, poor transportation and energy infrastructure, limited local processing, and unfair trade agreements. These factors can cause profits to leave the continent while local communities receive few benefits.
