The Europeans left a racialized, tribalised Africa. This was due to their "divide and rule" political system. African were pushed into rural, interior areas and could not move out of these areas. In addition, their movements out of the reserves were controlled through the Kipande system. The result was the rise of ethnic identities. We can thus argue that the colonial indirect rule was itself ethnic; it was ethnicity in itself.
