Please name some...I really want to have hope. Most times, the countries people name like Rwanda are definitely improving but still far behind on a global development scale. Sure, Japan is struggling, but Japan's struggles seem like paradise to the average African country's struggles.

Ethiopia was having a rapid growth before covid.
I am not sure after covid and the war in Tigray how it's doing at the moment

Been outstripped by population growth. The trajectory of Ethiopia is bleak again.
No African country has ever done a "Japan" and come even close to catching up with the West. Hell, I don't think any has even been able to catch up with middle income countries. I am starting to doubt it can even be done.
