The correct answers are B) There was no movement towards unity, C) the former colonies had non tradition of self-government, and D) Boundary and mineral rights disputes resulted in violent conflict.
Political instability occurred in the region after independence because there was no movement towards unity, the former colonies had non tradition of self-government, and boundary and mineral rights disputes resulted in violent conflict.
When we talk about political instability it means that the situation remains unknown, there is no tranquility, and there is a potential for abrupt changes -violent or not- in the policies or structure of the new government, including its leadership, political and economic conditions, and social demands.
