Civil wars have been a consistent problem and are largely fought between tribal groups who were forced together by European colonisation and division of previous tribal areas. After the Europeans left, the genocide started.

Who started the wars in Africa?

There is no record of the first war in Africa. As long as there have been people there have been wars. Wars are fought over access to resources, including land, cattle, minerals, slaves, markets, communication routes and defensible positions. There have been wars in Africa for as long as history has been recorded. And there were presumably wars before history was recorded.
