Of course they can. Any society that have survived the onslaught of the European barbaric adventurism in Africa, can survive as an independent country in this modern time. They have been an independent societies in the past, they can still be in the future.

1. Vatican City is the smallest country in the world. Encircled by a 2-mile border with Italy, Vatican City is an independent city-state that covers just over 100 acres, making it one-eighth the size of New York's Central Park. Vatican City is governed as an absolute monarchy with the pope at its head

I like this picture you posted of Africa. You can see Chad, Ethiopia, Botsawana, Niger and many others are landlocked and doing well.

The one that impresses me is that of Ethiopia. When Eritrea became an independent country, Ethiopia became landlocked. Some people thought that Ethiopia would start begging Eritrea for access to the Sea. Ethiopia developed its Air transport system and started importing and exporting almost everything they want with Airplanes. Today, Ethiopian Airlines is probably the largest Airline in Africa. Testament of wonder
