Airlines are strictly regulated by Boeing/Airbus/western institutions, this airlines wouldnt be able to fly to safe countries if their airplanes didnt pass regular official certifications, Boeing and Airbus provide that. The same way as pilots are certified by boeing and airbus to fly their planes

True, but nobody is saying this aircraft's flight schedule ever left Africa. Rules are only rules where they are enforced.
It seems you missed the stories about Boeing using parts made of low quality materials and that the whistleblowers died under mysterious circumstances.
We didn't miss them. We have no reason to think those factors are an issue in this case.
