War, genocide and misery weren't prevalent in Africa. While there was a lot of tribal warfare, it was scarcely anymore than European wars and definitely on a smaller scale.

Africa had thriving cities, trade, urban centers, and strong economies in some regions. Others were more isolated and tribal.

European colonialism didn't "make things better", in many ways the forcible change of economic systems and culture destroyed the native populations way of life and self sustainability.

This became even worse when European countries pulled out of Africa, ending their colonial rule. Some were able to adapt, others not so much.
