@MForstater interesting points: https://www.theguardian.com/global-development/2017/may/24/world-is-plundering-africa-wealth-billions-of-dollars-a-year … . Where do you get $7.7 trn Africa GDP figure? WB latest = $2.7 current, $5.4 PPP.

I was looking at PPP - but I think was looking at broader region than the report, (only SSA) - so not quite the right comparison
