“Developing countries” and “third world countries” are a myth. In reality, these countries’ resources are plundered by the West. India is rich in rice, cotton, precious stones, and metals. Sudan is rich in gold. Nigeria is rich in oil and petroleum. Togo, Benin, and Mali are all rich and cotton. Kenya is rich in tea. Belize is rich in citrus fruits and sugarcane. Ethiopia is rich in coffee beans. Ghana is rich in Cocoa, oil, gold, and timber. Ecuador, Guatemala, Costa Rica, Honduras and Colombia are all rich in bananas. Algeria, Iraq and Libya is are all rich in oil. Botswana is rich in diamonds. The Democratic Republic of the Congo is rich in cobalt. Morocco is rich in textiles. This is a non-exhaustive list but demonstrates how over-exploited many of these countries are.
