Because of the cold war, both superpowers saught after countries they could influence towards their ideology This caused more hostality between the nations in Africa. Also, both superpowers used poor African countries to sell their outdated weapons for profit, causing a huge amount of simple yet lethal weapons to flow into Africa.
