Question

In 3 to 5 sentences, describe why ethnic conflict is common in Sub-Saharan Africa.

Answer 1

Colonizers ignored the ethnic groups when drawing the political borders. Most countries have diverse ethnic groups 

Answer 2

Answer and explanation:

Ethnic conflict is common in Sub-Saharan Africa mainly because colonizers established political borders without considering cultural divisions, and most countries have diverse ethnic groups. As a result, the people of Sub-Saharan Africa are generally most local to their cultural group. In fact, during the colonial period, political borders ignored cultural groupings, there was favoritism toward particular ethnic groups, and Europeans established divide and rule policies.
