    According to the World Bank’s latest data, the poorest countries in Africa by GNI per capita are mostly located in sub-Saharan Africa. One of the regional trends that can be observed is that the top 10 poorest countries in Africa are mainly those that have suffered from political instability, conflicts, and a lack of economic development. These factors often lead to high poverty rates, low life expectancy, and poor education outcomes.
