once again it was the west that overthrew countries, enslaved them, and colonized them, the fact that you have to create a hypothetical scenario about how Russia would have "coulda shoulda woulda". The fact that I am forced to even defend in the slightest bit about Russia and African colonization is stupid.  remember it was a western-backed bombardment Just look at the 2011 Nato Intervention in Libya, according to Sidney Blumenthal, advisor to Hilary Clinton( at the time secretary of state). " France's motives for overthrowing Gaddafi were to increase France's share of Libya's oil production, strengthen French influence in Africa, and improve President Sarkozy's standing at home." Yeah no France is 10000x worse than literally anything Russia has done in Africa, and that is saying when Russia is a fucked up country. The west is not Africa's savior nor do they have any of our interests, no does China nor does Russia. Only Africa can have Africa's best interest but usually, when an actual African leader rises up he is usually assassinated
Pope Francis denounced the "poison of greed" which is driving conflicts in Africa as he began a visit to Democratic Republic of Congo. The Pope said the rich world had to realize people were more precious than the minerals in the earth beneath them.  
He condemned "terrible forms of exploitation, unworthy of humanity" in Congo, where vast mineral wealth has fueled war, displacement and hunger. Many tens of thousands of people cheered as he travelled from the airport into the capital Kinshasa in his popemobile, with some breaking away to chase it while others chanted and waved flags.
