I'll point to the obvious. The mental ability of the typical negro is at a range approaching mental retardation i.e 80. Fill a country with such people and you are bound to have the problems such as poverty, crime, witchcraft, ignorance and backwardness you find in sub Sahara Africa.

How does that explain Liberia which pretty much set it's own borders? And don't tell me a conquered created country can not prosper. India, Belgium,Austria and others have done quite well despite the artificial (non tribal and or geographic boundaries). Sorry if it just a tribe to create a country, then the people have still not got a "worldview" of what a country is. Same for creating a single religon country. One has to wonder about Angola, given its formerly high eduaction rate and length of establised civilization at the country level.

Establishment of a "national" identy is just one of the first steps. There are quite a few more to go. I think Liberias problem is good old corruption. But I don't know the specifics. All your other examples have thier own internal problems that had to be worked out. In some cases, those problems are still be worked on today.

Having spent a number of years as a soldier with the UN in the Middle East on thing always struck me, this is the place where civilisation was born! Yet though these people can be the friendliest of folks, do something wrong on them and you are dead. I used to describe them once home as ancient man with cars. The african story is similiar, the birth place of modern man, yet never developed beyond the hunter and gatherer stage. With a lack of education and superstition rife the man who holds the biggest stick is always going to be right and if he shouts loud enough, believed. But who have taught these people this trick? The good old white man. The white man is no saint, look at WWII, Kosovo, even the American Indian. We are all the same animal.
