The colonial legacy in sub-Saharan Africa has resulted in all sorts of problems, from political, to social, economic, and military ones.
Explanation:
During the colonial period, the European colonists set borders across Africa in accordance to their interests. Even after the sub-Saharan countries gained independence, the borders were not set by them, but by their former colonists. The manner in which the borders were set was not in accordance to the interest of the people, and numerous ethnic and religious groups that had ''bad blood'' between them were put together.
When the colonists left, instead of prospering, the newly formed countries got into even bigger problems. People from different ethnic and religious groups started to attack each other, often resulting in civil wars and genocides. Military dictators used the chaos and managed to gain control over the countries, ruling with iron fist, and getting all the wealth, while the ordinary people were struggling to survive. Because of the constant conflicts, multiple countries have actually broken apart only after few decades of existence. Countries in sub-Saharan Africa that had major problems as described were:
- South Africa
- Cote d'Ivoire
- Liberia
- DR Congo
- Rwanda
