Many African countries face challenges stemming from a legacy of colonialism, including entrenched poverty, political instability, and economic dependency on foreign aid or exports of raw materials. Post-independence, issues such as corruption, civil conflict, and poor governance often hinder development. Additionally, external factors like global market fluctuations and climate change disproportionately impact African economies, further complicating progress. These intertwined issues contribute to the struggles many nations face today compared to their post-independence aspirations.
Africa is made up of many countries, so there is no one day.
There is no single answer to that. Africa is a continent, not a country. Africa consists of over 50 different countries. Many were occupied by different European countries, and so individual African countries gained independence from different countries at different times.
Europeans heavily colonized many of the different countries in Africa. During the time of the cold war, there was a string of independence movements from many of the different countries in Africa with Libya being the first in 1952.
Southern Africa, including countries like Namibia and Zimbabwe, appeared to have received independence later than the rest of the African continent. Many of these countries gained independence in the 1960s and 1970s, later than countries in North and West Africa.
Africa is a continent containing many different countries. These countries were colonised by many other countries, including France, Germany, Belgium, Netherlands, as well as England, so the answer to this question depends on which African country is involved,
because many countries were colonised by the French and Belgium (Belgium is also largely french speaking nation) during the "occupation" of Africa (approx 1700 - 1960), after-which most previously colonised countries had sought independence.
Africa has 55 countries.
There are 53 countries in Africa.
There are 54 independent countries in Africa.
Tanzania is the one of the countries which formed SADC before was called SADCC. This is because Tanzania helped many countries in South part of africa to get Independence. However Tanzania does not belong to southern part of africa.
