Well Congo is sad indeed, especially with all their wealth and minerals, they have the most resources and arable land out of all African countries. But would Western countries be where they are today if they never plundered the world through colonialism? Probably not.
I expect the West to subject alien populations to that sort of treatment, but I will harshly judge any African that attempts to do the same to other African Nations.
Honestly, as long as they keep doing what they are doing, forever.
I read recently that they launched a centre dedicated for Artificial Intelligence, one of the first in Africa:

This is where you and I differ greatly; you obviously believe in an individual, personalistic State whereas I believe in an ideologically defined, Sovereignty affirming institutional State.
I agree that unregulated democracy is a disaster and is wholly unsuited for every Nation in Africa.
We need a system that is more tightly controlled; we shouldn't have candidates elected by the general public; we desperately need a stringent political system.
Administrative and representative roles should be separated.
African Nations should replace Governors and National Presidents with Executive Councils composed of 7 people.
In order to serve as an administrator for any Executive Council at the local, State or Federal level, a degree in law, economics, public affairs or political science would be a requirement; a Masters degree from our own equivalent of the National School of Administration, like the École nationale d'administration in France would also be required.
This system would then require a minimum of 5 years of stellar experience in the civil service; and finally an appointment from the Executive Appointments Commission.
The Senate would then confirm the names it received from the Executive Appointments Commission.
Each of the 7 members of the Federal Executive Council would head and run a department such as health or education; and this Council would serve for 7 years.
The militaries should be divided into at least 4 branches and there should be more than one ground fighting force in order to remove the prospects of military coups, and each branch should be headed by a civilian.
The message that I think such a righteous, legitimate and powerful State should send to any would be saboteurs and militants is this:
'Lift your finger up for so much as a micro second for banditry and war, and your entire body will be laid to rest for all eternity -- in puree form... where there is nothing left but hair, teeth and eyeballs.'
The system you're advocating for is terribly fragile and is essentially a coin toss; you're banking on enlightened, benevolent dictators doing the right thing instead of enriching themselves and murdering anyone that dissents.
The system I've outlined would remove dynasties, dictators and despots, and it would be a lot stronger and enduring than a dictatorship.
I haven't outlined what form the legislature should take because I've already droned on enough.
