I look at Africa and see a continent that was chopped up by colonial powers into borders designed to create social and ethnic conflicts. It was a project to create as many wedges as possible so the colonists could keep power by the ol' divide-and-conquer (which the Brits were pretty apt at). Then you have some of the usual colonial genocides, resource extraction with no further improvements to the source, etc.

It's not cultural if it was designed to create issues, it's such a stupid reduction of a problem that's been entirely manufactured by colonial powers for centuries. Or is that what you are calling "cultural problems" by now?
