Experts do not seem to detect that Africa's population is exploding and that some countries, including Uzbekistan(Population growth is already at the African level), are experiencing explosive birth rates growth.

The point is that Africa's birthrate is declining. Every time they look, the decline is happening faster than anticipated. I am confident that experts are aware of the existence of the continent of Africa, and are not excluding those countries from their population projections.
Uzbekistan also has a population of 35 million.

I always got a chuckle from those charts that used to predict cities like Kinshasa and Lagos would have 70 million population by 2050.
Like do they think as these places urbanize they would keep having kids at the rate an agrarian population?

Yes, I am aware that the birthrate is currently still above the replacement rate. The point was that the birthrate is declining. It is expected to dip below the replacement rate within a couple of decades. I said the birthrate was declining, not that the population was declining.

In fact, the sharp rebound in Uzbekistan's fertility rate is much more dramatic than international institutions' estimates.

Africa will be no different than all the other emerging economies. As they achieve a certain amount of wealth, health and education, they will temper their population also. Just as every other nation has done.
