#3 When warlords run rampant for over a decade, there's no chance for schooling, and farming is disrupted. So a country loses an entire generation of potential doctors and nurses and people who understand how things work. You can't "make farm" when you're kicked off your land by warlords, so how are you going to teach your kids to grow rice? So now they have few resources, in human development and in raising their own food. Now Ebola has closed schools again.
