With a PoD no earlier than 1871, how can we see African nations other than Ethiopia avoid colonization or European conquest? To make it a little more challenging, see if they can survive even if there's still a Scramble for Africa that's similar to OTL.

Now, to clarify something -- I'm not just looking for plausible scenarios with less colonization; preferably, I'm looking for a single PoD that makes the survival of certain nations into the 20th Century much more likely.

EDIT ADD: Also, nation must be truly sovereign -- no sphere of influence.
