It is a mixture of many things, manly when the colonizers split the lands up, they gave no regard to what tribe lived where, that's why you get big languages like Swahili spoken in many countries. And that's why you get Hutus and Tutsus fighting each other. And ofcourse the caos that came after the countries gained their liberty, were the strongest simply would take power, and stay untill someone else would grow stronger.
It is not because of the colour of the people that live there! Just look at C-America, many Asian countries, and even S-America, Argentina and Chile have had some real disturbing dictatorships, and those countries are mainly populated by white people (as oposed to indigenous people of C-America). And look at the difference between South and North Korea, I mean every home in S-Korea has at least a 2mb internet connection, while people in the norht are litterally starving to death. It has nothing to do with race, and all to do with lack of democracy!
