CH867: Global Three Months of Conflict IV

For years now, many African analysts believe the continent was a powder barrel of gunpowder waiting to explode.

Colonial era practise of forcing nearby lands and people together to form colonial territories by colonial powers have created a situation where many rival or even hated enemy tribes are forced together within the same territory.

These forced colonial territories have become the modern day African countries post independence.

The struggle for independence against a common enemy forced this tribes to put down their differences and work together. Unfortunately, these former feuds have been revisited for various reasons in the post colonial era.

This is the unfortunate truth behind most conflicts on the African continent.

The successful African nations are those who have been able to manage the ethnic and tribal differences in the countries to foster a united prosperous nation.
