There are LOTS of cities in Africa that do have their own clean running water and modern indoor plumbing systems, so let's not paint all of Africa with the same brush.

There are PLENTY of places in China that also do not have access to clean running water and indoor plumbing, but we all talk about China as if it's so rich and modern and the rising superpower.

Yes Good Point
Tourism demands that.

Although I would no longer advise Kenya
due to those Pirates from the next nation.



Yes and China now has a
Elite, Rich , Middle, Lower Middle, Standard
and the Poor with no running water.

There were cities in Africa with good sanitation and water supplies before the advent of tourism.

Colonialism left some places with a reasonable infra structure even if they left them in a political mess.
