I also think that the people of African nations learned their decolonization lesson once - the Five Eyes need to be blinded for any individual liberation to succeed. I don't think they're operating on the same dimensions as the first push 50 years ago. I think they've been building their counterintelligence capabilities and creating operating space that the Five Eyes can't access, and they're likely doing it with Russian and Chinese support as those two have been at the forefront of countering Western intelligence efforts
