I'm sure that has a lot to do with the fact that, after colonialism was done, these places were left on their own without the tools to govern themselves properly.

And again they were only separate states because Europe told them so, often grouping tribes together by shear military force and then when they left, well gee they fight.

Hey this is our country!
Do you have a flag?
Er.. no.
No flag, no country. You can't have it.
