Not at all. Somalia is poor because of civil war and terrorism. Not because of history. Somalia was rich until the civil war in 1991. Somalia had the 3rd richest GDP in Africa and a good HDI untill al shabab happened. In 20 years, Libya will become the poorest country on earth, despite their rich HDI. Europeans respected Somalia during historic times because they were scared of the ottomans. They are also lighter skinned.

Haiti was poor because of racist Europeans and nobody wanted to trade with him because they were darker-skinned compared to their biological brother Dominicans who were mixed. The same thing with Liberia. No one wanted a black country to succeed in the 1800s. The only reason why Abyssinia succeded because they were lighter skin. They were semetics, their success stoped during ww2 and poverty started when the anti-semeticisum raged in Europe. Italy brought bad cows during the 5 years occupation and starved thier supplies of food on purpose
