Not true in Ethiopia's case, it was never a colony for any meaningful amount of time. It defies the "african countries are poor only due to the oppressive white colonialism" narrative. EDIT: As for Venezuela, 1 USD was ~6-7 Venezuelan bolívars in 2013. Last time I checked it was roughly 1,100,000. A staggering 180 000 times drop in only 5 years. External political climate remained roughly the same in that time span.
