Africa: Liberates itself from imperialist colonisation in the decades after after WWII
USA: Takes advantage of the post-war European Imperialist vacuum to go and do some imperialism for itself in Latin America, Asia and later the Middle-East
Africa: Mistrusts USA
USA: Pikachu shocked face
Don't forget France. France never stopped colonizing Africa, just changed their methods.
This might've hurt too.

America was up above 80% in 2009/2010, so this change can't be because either of those
Unless people in Africa became more educated, so it feels a bit easy to just disregard them. Also, people often don't change their mind overnight.
I don't think anyone is saying anything happened overnight. We're talking a fifty-sixty year delay on the events mentioned above. But also, I would want to see some evidence that Africans on average weren't aware of the legacy of colonialism up until the 2010s, because that seems like an unreasonably low estimation of education on the continent.
Besides that, Russia and China also saw declines throughout the 2010s from peaks in 2009/2010. That would suggest to me that something in the 2010s made Africans on average less approving of the world's major powers in general
This was a fascinating read

Moscow may be able to address the continent’s urgent security demands through arms sales that exceed Washington’s capacity
Happens when you deindustrialize your own country to crush working-class movements
Islamic countries aren’t buying the US’s Uyghur genocide psyop. That propaganda only seems to work on the Fourteen Eyes’ own people, who live in a media bubble.
Ooof, kicked the cracker nest with that one big homie
It ain’t much, but it’s honest work.
I don't think that's it
How much money has China invested in Africa?
Not as much as the IMF yet. Difference is in the strings attached (or lack thereof, in Russia and China's cases). Strangest thing, is those two entities get accused of debt trapping all the time, but I've never once heard of Russia or China actually leveraging the traps the crackers INSIST are being planted and engaged. Meanwhile, I hear about Amerikan pressure all the goddamn time.
It's almost like they see what's happening to their neighbors, see what's happening across the water, and decide "well we can't trust them old crackers in the West."
