Africa does not have the same amount as technology as us, and does use all the resources like we do.

Answer:

With how big our population is and how much energy and materials we use/need everyday of our life. It would make sense that Africa is rich in mineral resources because they use their resources carefully and don't use them as much as we do. They also don't have as much technology as we do.
