"THEY SET OUT TO DESTROY US"!

Keeping African countries underdeveloped was the main goal when European imperialists carved up the continent. Former African Union representative, Dr Arikana Chihombori-Quao, pulls no punches in explaining the blatant ripping and stitching of nations. There was little regard for existing political entities, historical relationships, alliances or rivalries. Even basic geography wasn’t taken into account, creating new geopolitical tensions and fragmented nations without any real power on the world stage.
