Johan Rehnstrom’s Reviews > African Politics: A Very Short Introduction > Status Update

So I guess having very many official languages is not a cause of any problems in Africa. I guess that makes sense?!

Well, this book is quite biased. If I have time I will write a review when I am done. But for now I can conclude that all problems in Africa stems from the colonists. As if nothing prior to the colonial era means anything, which I find hard to believe. There are some instances of intellectual fraud, e g when the author writes about women. Let me put it this: nothing is said about FGM which is rampant in Africa.

The author writes on page 3, that African countries “denounced external interference” when breaking free. But that is not true. Many aligned with Soviet Union and China.
