Africa’s problem is not with political creeds but with tribalism and a bad leadership.

As far as I can recall, only one of Africa’s major conflicts has been ideological based (i.e between Dos Santos’s MPLA and Savimbi’s UNITA). The rest have been tribal (Whites versus indigenous peoples: Rhodesia, Namibia and South Africa).(Inter-tribal: Sierra Leone, Rwanda, Burundi, Biafra, Liberia, Darfur) or religious (Sudanese Civil War).

Overall what you say is true, however there has been a problem with islam vs. non-muslims in Africa for decades which has become much much worse in the last few years (as the percentage of muslims in many countries there has skyrocketed). What is happening in Kenya right now is not primarily tribal as the drive by media would have you believe. It has a veneer of tribalism but is primarily driven by muslim agitation.
