When you look at the continent of Africa, there are a varied number of tribes and the colonial leaders have made it look like the Africans with their varied tribes can never be one nation or Continental Government. and yet when it came to the 1884 BERLIN CONFERENCE OF THE PARTITION OF AFRICA, then the colonial leaders were able to cut the big African cake and divide it among themselves some taking the new colonies and subjecting them to study and auqire the language and culture of their colonial masters, the English, French, Spanish, Portuguese.It looks like the partition was done so as to have a share of the natural resources that are may in Africa, And now 2007 it seeems that NEO COLONIALISM is back in a bigger way and determined to take away more of Africas resources.
But also with the partition of Africa into colonies and now into Independent african Nations, we are see that the colonial leaders made big mistakes in dividing tribes and heritages tha were closely knit together and were disrupted and in some case tribes cut into three or two places. Look at the tribes along the borders of Uganda, its the Bakonjo, Bamba,Banyoro,Bagungu Batooro, Alur, Lugbar on both side of Uganda-DRCongo border, its also true of Kakwa, Acholi, Langi, Karamojong tribes along the Uganda Sudan, theKaramojong , Ateso, Bagisu, Padhola, Bagweri, Banyole on Uganda-Kenya, the Baganda and Banyankole on Uganda-Tanzania,the BaKiga, Bahororo, Bafumbira, and Ugandan-Banyarwanda on Uganda-Rwanda Border
Is it possible to look at these tribes and heritage and be able to see the formation of a new Africa where we shall go beyong the whitemans made arbitrary borders that have divide peoples?
MUSEVENI says AFRICAN HERITAGES ARE CLOSELY LINKED an can help create a new AFRICA
