Very true. Or do they need to develop their own concept of the state, or at the risk of sounding imperialistic, do they need to learn the concept of the nation state? Broadly speaking I would say having structures larger than a tribe is a net benefit. Whatever form that may take.

Western governments need to stop assassinating leaders and toppling democratically elected governments every few years for that to happen. That hasnt stopped and it has a chilling effect, which is the purpose.

  When was the last time a democratically elected government toppled or assassinated in Africa by the west?
