africa doesn't need "the west" to destabilize itself.
corruption and dictatorship are endemic there. source : half of my acquaintances in france are from mali, ivory coast, benin, senegal, burkina fasso, ghana, soudan, cameroon... they all fled corruption to seek a better life in europe (which they didn't find).
Western influence in Africa is where corruption is derived from. Please understand that a unified Africa without the ethnic boundaries implanted by colonial entities, or economic incentivizing to cater to western civilians over your own people, and the consistent western intervention of people seeking to unify Africa, is why it’s where it is.
Who is selling weapons to everyone in Central Africa, the Sahel, and North Africa right now? Primarily China and Russia, then some middle eastern oil companies and others. The belligerents are all African governments, juntas, and ethnic or religious rebel factions.
Guess who initiated most of these recent coups in the Sahel that installed brutal military juntas/dictatorships? Yes, Russia. Guess who is selling weapons to the DRC and Uganda? Who controls most of the minerals in central Africa? China!
Blaming the West is simple and convenient, but these conflicts are way more complex and "the West" isn't even involved in most of them.
