'Europe' aren't the only exploiters though. 'First-world' nations in general rely on their commodities, and east asian manufacturing for their relatively better lifestyles.

Not to mention they forgot the leaders of those African countries who make deals that give them personal wealth at the expense of their people.

In some cases 1st world countries have installed those leaders, but that's not really that common.

And the citizens can't overthrow them their selves, and the other countries who are benefitting have no incentive to "spread democracy" even if they actually mean it this time.
