The tragedy of the commons is a situation in a shared resource system where individuals users, acting independently according to their own self interest, behave contrary to the common good of all users by depleting or spoilt the shared resource through their collective action.

Overfishing is an example of the tragedy of the commons because multiple people are fishing for their own gain disregarding the negative effect depleting fish from the ocean can have. In this case the ocean is the shared resource system being spoiled through collective action.

Hope this helps :)

In the scramble for Africa, European powers drew boundaries and created states that benefitted the colonizers while ignoring the
Phantasy [73]

The drawing of the boundaries in the manner of the interest of the European colonial powers resulted in very big problems once the African countries were granted independence.

The problems were mostly because people from the same ethnic groups were separated by borders, but were in the same ones with people from other ethnic groups, usually historical rivals with whom they had bad relations. Also, the religious factor had a big influence, as there were multiple countries were some parts were predominantly of one religion, and other parts of other religion, and that brought in even more tensions.

That has resulted in instability, constant tensions, civil wars, terrorist organizations, separatist movements, genocides, pretty much everything that is not supposed to happen for a country to prosper.
