The Communists penetrated most countries of Africa and started a campaign against "Colonization" and insisted that Africa be returned to Africans. Over time, a once very prosperous continent became what it is today.
We shouldn't shake our heads from afar, they are trying to do the same in this country right now. With promises of an earthly paradise the Communists always manage to turn prosperity into poverty, slave labor, and slaughter
Actually, we had a family branch in Rhodesia that I visited once about 1960. It was wonderful then but most or all my relatives have been gone for years.
