      They’ve had their independence for 77 years. After a while, I think blaming colonialism is a bit reductive.

        Blaming colonialism is used by many corrupt, incompetent post-colonial governments to distract people from their own corrupt incompetence. It’s like with Putin blaming NATO and the West for everything.
