Ugandan leaders/dictators would come to power from the failure derived from the colonial legacy. Secret murders/tortures of opponents, and started war with tanzanians. Problems of current conflict-nations all have connection to colonial legacies. War with tanzania/uganda, and other wars in africa caused by tribalism nigera : strong propaganda taught the people to fight or face genocide the british made nigeria into 3 regions = tribal conflict. Many african countries have become very corrupt (bribery in hospitals/governments) Africa debts of foreign debt x4 since 1970"s. Multinational companies/firms are happy to provide expensive/commercial goods. As costs of imports rise, exports prices fall rich countries prevent africa from having higher prices exports rich countries not only make africans need their goods, but also to want their goods = harm economics of africa.
