Explanation

Many newly independent African countries faced political instability, including military coups d’état, and tensions among different ethnic groups. Colonial rule had also left many countries with too few trained workers to run governments and develop their economies. Monetary surpluses and an abundance of natural resources were not shared challenges, while direct colonial control ended as countries gained independence.
