East Africa was able to resist European conquest
The two African colonies that remained independent during the period of European colonialism were Liberia and Ethiopia. Liberia was founded in the early 19th century as a settlement for freed American slaves, while Ethiopia successfully resisted colonization, notably defeating Italian forces at the Battle of Adwa in 1896. Both nations maintained their sovereignty throughout the colonial era, although Ethiopia faced occupation during the Second Italo-Ethiopian War from 1935 to 1941.

Many effectively independent African states remained outside the area of direct European control: most would be conquered in the 1890s and the bulk of the remainder in the following decade. By 1914 only Ethiopia and Liberia remained apart from a newly-independent white settler-dominated South Africa and a short-lived state in northern Somalia (crushed by the British in 1920).
The lingering effects of colonial boundaries undermined efforts to build stable, democratic economies and states through out African states.
The only two truly independent countries in Africa are South Africa and Ethiopia. However, Ethiopia in the one that is considered to be absolutely independent as it was never colonized.
Liberia remained free as it was already an independent nation.
