hull loss rates in Africa of western built transport category aircraft are about 20 times higher in Africa than in the USA.
Take a closer look at the operators involved and the lack of regulation in the countries concerned. Reputable airlines are as safe as any in the western world. The problem is that the worst cases are skewing the statistics.
