Imperialism, both the old kind and the modern corporate culture. The poverty of entire communities isn't exactly their fault - corporations that provide you with comfort have reduced them from successful hunter-gatherers to people dependent on an economy they don't even understand. The western world introduced the global economy to them and this has happened.
This may not be the case for all of those living in poverty, but it is for a good deal of communities on the African continent.
Africans are dieing because of drought and dirty water, not corporate greed.
