The best thing that could happen to Sub-Saharan Africa would be for a majority of the population to die, regardless of the cause, and to have the survivors ask their European former colonial masters to come back and manage their countries with UN oversight. It seems to me that management by a benevolent Governor General would benefit that majority of the people who suffer greatly because of their corrupt and incompetent quasi-democracies. Zimbabwe's failure is a HBR case study example of how a successful enterprise can get flushed down the crapper when corrupt and incompetent leaders take care of themselves, they families and friends to the detriment of the people to chose them to rule.

Or so it seems to me.
