The fact that you're blaming them for being colonized and hiding behind their government's rampant corruption to do it.
The U.S. government has been so deeply compromised for decades that it might actually result in the destruction of life on this planet. Does that mean China or Russia can just bust in and take over?
I AM saying that due to the type of corruption currently set up in the country, kicking out the US and inviting China in is just replacing one colonialism for another.
What they really need to do is set up their own government with the backing of the AfCFTA signatories and reject any assistance from the West, China and Russia (including the World Bank) that comes with strings attached. Then the people need to make the leadership understand that they lead only by the forebearance of the people, and corruption will not be tolerated.
Doing all these things would not only boost their own nation and economy, but would be great for the continent as a whole.
But they’ve got some of the most powerful nations in the world actively working to prevent such an outcome. And I’m a realist enough to suspect that like with the French Revolution, the first attempt will result in the tyranny of the people, not a glorious revolution; because that tends to be what humans do, especially when outside influencers are working hard to make it happen that way.

Not blaming them at all; that’s on you.

No, arguing they need to halt corruption to avoid colonization is inherently blaming them for being colonized.
Countries can be corrupt and not colonized at the same time.
Therefore you're wrong and just victim blaming.
You can try to justify it all you want, it's not going to be okay.
Think before you speak next time.
