There is a more fundamental problem causing the current situation in Africa that is not mentioned. Africa is a tribal country. One's first loyalty is to one's tribe. Multi-tribal countries violate this fundamental cultural foundation. Corruption is the result. One sees this phenomenon wherever tribal, clan or familistic loyalties are stronger than those to larger institutions (e.g. China).

Tribalism is one of the big problems, especially if it's combined with a sizeable muslim presence. What should have been done was to outlaw pagan religion and establish christianity BUT Africa was all about land grabbing first and foremost. Pagan religion was outlawed in most British colonies outside Africa.
