I took it to be reflexive satire based on a deep cynicism of anything 'good' being allowed to benefit the African people.
Africa is complex, it's broken, and it is rich in resources. People from outside Africa have been exploiting it since wooden ships took its people to be their slaves to the present day where China signs "exclusive" mineral contracts with thugs.
I heard a little cry of anguish that the poster has to watch something that could do great good get crapped upon by unsavory external influences.
Resource thing is not quite true, parts of sub-saharan Africa have valuable resources and parts don't. Resources play a larger factor in African economies because they have little else. For example, while South Africa has gold mines but this place appears to lack water.
Resources play a large role elsewhere too. Norway is stinking rich because it has oil (and is able to manage this well and distribute the riches among the population). Large parts of Europe try to be at least somewhat friendly with Russia because it has oil, etc. etc.
