How could decolonization have happened in Africa so as to result in more ethnically homogenous countries? And what would these countries be? I can think of Katanga, Eweland (or a united Togoland), KwaZulu, Northern and Southern (Southwestern and Southeastern?) Nigeria, maybe Tuareg, Ashanti and Bakongo states, possibly Rehoboth and Casamance, the partition of Eritrea, Sudan, Mauritania, and Chad, an enlarged Somalia, Botswana, Swaziland, and Lesotho. I'd add a divided Libya, since it was on the agenda after WWII, but it wasn't really about ethnicity. Maybe something in Uganda? An Afrikaner state? I'm talking cases where there actually were expressions of the natives' desire for that sort of thing in the late colonial/early independence years.
