Another issue with the misrepresentation of Africa is that it is often reported as if it were a single country instead of 54, stretching from Cairo to Cape Town, with well over 1,000 different languages.
We Westerners would never conflate Norway, Portugal, Ukraine and Hungary as if they were the same country with identical standards of living, health, violence, infrastructure, access to energy, politics, and corruption.
Africa needs conventional electricity supply with the low cost and reliability that comes with those sources, ie coal, NG, hydro, geo thermal. Green energy is a hobby by comparison and need.
The continent needs vast amounts of electricity if they’re to be put into a position
of self reliance and to increase their standards of living.

Thanks for sharing this! I feel like I have seen at least two of these images in the past. I added you on X!
