plz answer quick lol

Answer 1

One of the biggest causes of post-colonial conflict in Africa is the partition of countries that was created by the European powers' arbitrary borders. These borders were created with little or no concern for the people actually living there or for their heritage.African colonies produced raw materials which were expropriated by the colonialists (centre nations). Furthermore, colonialism introduced a dual economic structure within the African economy. It also brought about disarticulation of African economy, education, trade, market, transport and currency institution.
