Africa isn’t one country, but it shares the same structural gaps: energy, water, education. Ethiopia shows what’s possible with sovereign energy investment. Jensen Huang’s five-layer AI model highlights a hard truth: Africa mostly consumes, it doesn’t build. China proves energy is the real competitive edge. No energy, no development. No development, no tech. No tech, no AI. The path forward is simple: build power, cut bureaucracy, get pragmatic or stay behind.
