It is no secret that the West has had a hand in turmoils and conflicts in Africa. From slavery to colonisation, these western countries have put African countries in dire straits in terms of economic, political, and social development.
These interference has also been seen as far back as the 1950s when most African countries were agitating for independence and later after they gained independence.

In most cases, it was successful and in others, they were not.
