Unfortunately, your proposed solution gravely violates the world agreement that the international borders imposed on Africa by the European imperialists at the Congress of Berlin (1888) shall endure forever unto the end of time. This agreement apparently exists to prevent a major war, but I don't know that it's worked.

Or here's another one:

In 1884 at the request of Portugal, German chancellor Otto von Bismark called together the major western powers of the world to negotiate questions and end confusion over the control of Africa. Bismark appreciated the opportunity to expand Germany's sphere of influence over Africa and desired to force Germany's rivals to struggle with one another for territory.

What ultimately resulted was a hodgepodge of geometric boundaries that divided Africa into fifty irregular countries. This new map of the continent was superimposed over the one thousand indigenous cultures and regions of Africa. The new countries lacked rhyme or reason and divided coherent groups of people and merged together disparate groups who really did not get along.
