You realize that has a lot to do with who colonized them right?
a lot of it had to do with who they allied with post-colonialism during the Cold War
the same thing applies to the ME. we only installed the Shah to keep the USSR from "colonizing" Iran and having influence in the ME
we pay for that sin to this day, but nobody can argue the world (or Iran) would have been better off had it become the Cuba of the ME

So we tried to set up democracy all over Africa. In several cases, when a country's people elected socialist or communist leaders, the CIA stepped in and went "Oh man...y'all voted wrong...let us come in and fix it for you."
Our ideals about freedom were not carried out well at all in the 2nd half of the 20th century. After the Truman Doctrine was signed, we became the anti-communism police force which has since transitioned into the anti-terrorism police force. For that reason, frick Truman.
