Same thing happened to Rhodesia

[driftless2]

It happened to all European-colonized African countries. I remember back in 1959 when Ghana was the first colonized African country to be granted full independence, and the Brits left. All the good people jumped up and down exclaiming that the people were finally free. Ghana went swiftly downhill.

That happened to numerous African countries when the colonial powers left. Those countries descended into chaos and violence, and a strongman i.e. dictator took over. Recolonization would be the best thing for most African countries. The sad truth is that they can't govern themselves.
