Cobblers.

First off, minerals rarely feed anyone. Diamonds are valuable, not edible.
Richest fishgrounds? Hardly.
Zimbabwe was a major exporter locally of food - not any more now of course. Better to starve under a black president than be fed under a white one I guess...

Coffee may have its origins in Ethiopia, but is grown from South America to Indonesia.
Hardwoods - yeah, the world would collapse without African hardwoods...

Africa's corrupt leaders help provide resources to the rest of the world, but there is nothing that Africa has that can not be found elsewhere.
