Colonialism basically ended 50 – 60 years ago in most cases. Whilst some colonialism (looking at you, Belgium) was regressive and cruel, in most other cases in Africa it was quite benevolent and in many cases actually improved things.
The problem Africa has is that basically, since the Africans began to manage their countries for themselves 50 years or so ago, corruption and mismanagement has been the order of the day.
Don’t believe me ? Compare with Asia, where the same colonialism happened but most countries there are now thriving economies.
