Slavery and colonialism the roots of postcolonial conflicts in africa

Anyanwu Timothy Chibuike, Ani Kelechi Johnmary

Abstract

In history, slavery has been used as a powerful tool of human resource exploitation. A number of studies have focused on how slavery has denied the African continent the needed manpower that could have laid the foundation for national and continental transformation. Slavery aided the colonial masters in their bid to colonise Africa and in subsequent resource exploitation, which they institutionalised under their imperial governance. Using largely secondary material, this study finds that slavery and colonialism laid the foundation for postcolonial conflicts in Africa. It recommends the promotion of African civilisation and cultures as well as indigenous developmental orientation for sustainable continental transformation.
