Root Cause of Problems in Africa

http://www.globalissues.org/article/84/conflicts-in-africa-introduction#RootCausesofProblems


This website has given information over all types of issues in Africa currently and how they erupted. This section of this site talks about European colonialism and its effects on Africa. It states that the borders created by colonial rulers have left Africa with the inability to accommodate or provide for the the cultural and ethnic diversity. There are many examples of wars that were started because of these borders and new found colonial power. Today this power has led to thousands of rebellions, genocides, and loss of control over nearly all of the countries of this area in Africa. This is a large root cause of all of the famine, war and need for foreign aid in Africa today.
