Just out of frame there’s an Apache attack helicopter ready to strike if the African peoples decide to end this arrangement
‘Europe’ aren’t the only exploiters though. ‘First-world’ nations in general rely on their commodities, and east asian manufacturing for their relatively better lifestyles.
Not to mention they forgot the leaders of those African countries who make deals that give them personal wealth at the expense of their people.
In some cases 1st world countries have installed those leaders, but that’s not really that common.
And the citizens can’t overthrow them their selves, and the other countries who are benefitting have no incentive to “spread democracy” even if they actually mean it this time.
Nobody is focusing on the real problem here, which is the totally crap cartoon.
the big picture is how horribly shitty this cartoon is

How does it get shafted by the US?
Well, there was that whole slavery thing for starters…
Almost 200 years ago, I mean currently.
Europe has a history of engaging in exploitation, colonialism, and resource extraction, which have been significant aspects of its past. Even recent economic cooperation seem to have been designed to negatively impact Africa - Pikachu face.
Great book on this subject called How Europe Underdeveloped Africa.
It’s a disgrace how Europe has abused Africa and the rest of the Northern Hemisphere continues so
