That's not really my point. Jumping to the fact that corruption plagues Africa immediately is what makes the comment insensitive.

In a lot of cases Africa's bad leadership is a direct result of the west's former colonial efforts there. Congo in particular suffered at the hands of Belgium. So this sentiment is incomplete.

Africa is still colonized, so this idea that they picked "bad leaders" is comical. I would expect the owner of Glencore have more say in the next leader in some of these countries than the actual population.

Time to stop blaming the victims of crimes Europeans have been committing for 2-3+ centuries? now...
