African History
Tribes A
large number of tribes, social and ethnic groups
live in Africa. Varying in size and complexity
each group has different cultures and traditions.
Unfortunately the imperial nations failed to take
into account the tribes identities and traditions
when they divided the continent into colonies and
eventually nations.
After World War II many European African
Colonies were freed however these new nations
were not divided up according to tribes but
according to arbitrary political and economic
priorities. Much of the unrest in Africa is
directly related to how the continent was
divided.
