What were some of the causes of African nations?

Several factors contributed to the challenges faced by African nations, including colonial legacy, which often left countries with arbitrary borders and weak governance structures. Economic dependence on a limited range of exports, coupled with foreign exploitation of resources, hindered sustainable development. Additionally, internal conflicts and ethnic divisions, exacerbated by colonial rule, have further destabilized many nations. Finally, external debt and inadequate infrastructure have also impeded progress and development across the continent.
