I’d agree with the statement that African problems today are not the direct result of imperialism, but their internal problems caused by the post-colonial states poor policies and reforms. Lack of universal education, economies based on specialized agricultural production, land reforms eliminating profitable businesses, administrational reforms not taking into account tribal/ethnic differences, massive corruption, lack of a “state loyal” rather than “leader loyal” police/army/paramilitary law enforcement units – all these problems would have to be addressed.
I wonder why it is that the African states gained independence with these features?
