Oh trust me, they're trying. Western imperialism and colonialism has a habit of getting in the way though.

Their infighting does not help either. If they were united as a people it wouldn't be so easy to outsiders to meddle in their affairs.

The west is not guilt-free, but it is not at fault for everything. If that were the case we would have seen great improvement after the western colonies didn't get in their way. (or are we in the way of their great victory in killing all others?)

I do agree that we're not at fault for everything. But expecting a post-colonial society to just do well after a long period of colonial abuse is a bit like expecting a person who is depressed or severely insecure as a result of childhood abuse/bullying/whatever to 'just get over it'. This is not how humans or societies work.
