Ancient Egypt was a great nation, because it could make a lot of food.  At one point in time to be a world power that's all you needed was a lot of food and a bunch of people who could carry pointy sticks and shields and invade and conquer other nations.  Much of the world has not moved on from this mentality.  Much of the poorer countries are only good at making more people who have no opportunities because these areas don't make any sophisticated goods anyone wants to buy and they don't innovate and create new products and entire new industries.  Look at how much wealth the invention of the personal computer and silicon wafer and semiconductors and smart phones has brought America.  There are entire industries built around these innovations.  Mexico exports corona beer and tequila and Avocados drugs and for a long time poverty..  What technologically advanced goods do they make.  Even cars have been around for 120 years and if they tried to make them they would suck and probably cost too much for the value you get.

That's why these places are poor.  It's not the CIA.  It's not colonialism.  It's their culture and way of life.  They are not innovative cultures.
