Your question is somewhat vague and unclear.

All of Africa eventually came under the control of Western countries, the last such African country being Abyssinia/Ethiopia, which was occupied by Italy.

Sometimes Liberia is considered an exception, but it, in effect, was colonized by American freedmen.

If you are asking about colonization in the sense of actual settlement by Europeans, then that is a different question.

As far as I am aware, nothing has eaten any country or nation that previously colonized Africa.

If the intention was to ask "What ARE three nations that colonized Africa?", then choose any of the following seven: UK, France, Spain, Portugal, Germany, Italy, and Belgium.
