I should mention something additional about Zambia. The whites did not leave. Guy Scott was, for a while, the acting president of Zambia. No one wanted them to leave. They did not want to leave. The nation prided itself on being peaceful.
Also, leaning on a Greek word ("democracy") for a form of government that always results in tyranny, is not any argument against African languages. The Bemba language has the word "kamfulumende" for "government" and Zambia has an extensive constitution with divided legislative, executive, and judicial powers, and a multiparty system (which is seldom a good thing in the long run).
So what if the construction work is done by foreigners? Nearly every nation in the world operates airlines, and there are only two major sources, from the U.S. and Europe. Does that mean all the other nations are to be disregarded because they don't build their own airplanes?
