I didn't say we don't talk about "the effects of colonization". Did you read the part where I said " how it can explain what the new States have become afterwards"?

But we point out the connections, explaining post-colonial situations, heritage, we don't say this is good and this is bad.

For instance I pointed out that buildings that were made by French prior to 1962 were the only one that didn't collapse during the last Earthquake in Alger. I didn't say "this is a positive side of colonization in Algeria", I simply showed that colonizers left substructures and built sturdy buildings while they were there.
