Explanation:
After the Second World War and the Bandung Conference (Indonesia, 1955) the independence of Africa begins. The first country to free itself was Ghana (1957) and before 1965 almost all countries had been liberated. Then there is a waiting time and in 1975 the last African colonies are liberated: Spanish Sahara, Angola and Mozambique.
After independence, many countries change their name, and try to redefine their borders. But the divisions established by Europeans are more stable than they appear. The fact of how to understand the State and to speak the same language, that of the metropolis, has revealed itself as an insurmountable difference. However, border conflicts are not the most serious in the region, but the internal struggles for power. Military dictatorships and corruption are installed in almost all countries.

Liberalism is a political and moral philosophy based on liberty, consent of the governed and equality before the law.
Liberals espouse a wide array of views depending on their understanding of these principles, but they generally support limited government, individual rights (including civil rights and human rights), capitalism (free markets), democracy, secularism, gender equality, racial equality, internationalism, freedom of speech, freedom of the press and freedom of religion.
Yellow is the political colour most commonly associated with liberalism.
Liberalism became a distinct movement in the Age of Enlightenment, when it became popular among Western philosophers and economists. Liberalism sought to replace the norms of hereditary privilege, state religion, absolute monarchy, the divine right of kings and traditional conservatism with representative democracy and the rule of law.
